1961 Chevy Impala. A unmolested, well preserved time capsule. A 2 family owned, southern Tennessee car with documentation including The original laminated TN title, and protection plan book. Original V 8 283 2 barrel, automatic power glide transmission, manual steering, & brakes. Working AM radio, Factory tinted glass, Rare front mounted bumper bullets, 4 rear chrome bumper guards, door handle finger nail scratch guards. & chrome headlight eye brows. Bought new in Knoxville Tn & owned by the first family until 1981 where it had accumulated 87,000 miles, Upon receiving the car the second owner treated her to a new repaint & some mechanical maintenance. {All documented.} From 1981 to 2005 she spent most of her life on short cruises, & the show field { see pictures for the first, second & best of show trophies.} She was last registered in 2005 & has been sitting In a climate controlled garage since then. The odometer now reads 89,987 so between 1981 to 2013 she only accumulated less then 3000 miles. It still has the original T-3 headlights, spiral shocks, spare tire, original style muffler & exhaust. Front tires` are date coded from 1965. The 2nd owner never fully rolled up the windows or fully closed the doors or trunk to preserve the rubber weather stripping while it was parked. Now that is meticulous. It has been recently treated to new front brake lines & shoes & ignition upgrades..All old parts were retained. She runs & drives like a dream with all lights, turn signals, horns, cigarette lighter, radio, gas gauge, temp gauge, dummy lights, heater, & fan controls functioning properly. Clock, & Wiper motor are currently not working. There is some fading on top of rear seat side bolsters from sitting in the sun {see pictures} not too bad for 52 year old original material. Slight windshield scratches from passenger wiper, not deep they may polish out. I encourage anyone to come inspect this beauty for themselves.I am about 35 minutes from Knoxville Tn. Bring a spot rot magnet with you & I doubt you will find little if any body filler. Underneath is solid as the top. 2nd owner kept a log of anything that was done to the car from 1981 along with photos of the car when he was showing it. I reserve the right to end auction early because of car being advertised locally. Mileage might be slightly higher at end of auction. More photos available upon request, or call me to discuss in detail 865-717-6280 Thanks Rich.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
