1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 350 on 2040-cars
Bristol, Pennsylvania, United States
Here is what I know about this Chevelle:
Seems to be a solid car. A quick glance does not reveal any prior damage or rust, however I can not guarantee
that statement, since this was the condition when my parents bought the Chevelle many years ago. You are advised
to inspect yourself. No significant rust on trunk floor (see pictures) and nothing evident in quarter panels or
rockers. Once again, please inspect yourself or have your mechanic inspect. It's a 48 year old car!
Paint is very, very nice, but not an original color to the best of my knowledge. It seems to be a Royal Plum
color which would have been correct on Chevelles from the late 60's, but not 1971. All inside panels, door jams,
etc., were repainted correctly, so it's tough to tell it has been repainted. It's a sharp color and as the pictures
indicate, has quite a glossy shine!
Non-original parts are: Carburetor (I think, not sure on carb), air cleaner, Cragar S/S rims, valve covers,
stereo (additional speakers have also been installed in rear), stainless steel dual exhausts with glass packs. All
of these non-original additions were on the car when my parents bought it, so we have none of the original parts.
'Not certain if this is a matching number engine. If you are curious, we will try to get a picture of the engine
serial number. Passenger seat has a tear in bottom cushion with black tape covering the tear. Can be seen in
picture.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
