This is a very stylish 1956 Ford F-100. This truck is hot off the press, having just completed an extremely meticulous frame-off restoration. This body is amazingly straight and the alignment is superb. The exterior finish is a DuPont Crimson Splash, base coat clear coat. The custom airbrush work adds enormous detail. The motor is a GM Goodwrench crate 350, four bolt main, with rebuilt Vortec heads, highrise intake, and Holley Street Avenger 670 carburetor. The frame has been totally boxed and it has a Tremec 5 speed manual transmission, a Ford 9” big bearing rear end, narrowed 3” each side, with 3.05 gears, and Heidts 4 link rear suspension. The front suspension is a Heidts Mustang II with power rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, and Vintage style air system with heat, cool, and defrost. Under the hood is detailed for show with lots of chrome or polished parts including the Billet aluminum pulleys and accessory drive system, chrome alternator, chrome air compressor, chrome power steering pump, and new aluminum radiator with Billet overflow tank. Not a detail has been overlooked on this intense project. The interior is phenomenal. The new two toned seat and matching door panels with Billet handles and hardware look awesome. The custom valence for the air vents, leather headliner, chrome tilt steering column with Billet wheel, and digital gauges all pull together for a great look and feel of comfort. Inside the bed is a perfect example of the overall quality of this vehicle. The new oak hardwood floor with chrome strips is simply fascinating. The tailgate latches have been positioned inside the gate for a slick look. The underneath is properly finished with new dual exhaust, Thrush mufflers, and new suspension front and back. All of the glass and chrome is flawless. The lights, bezels, and bulbs are all new. The final touch of detail to the exterior are the new 15”x8” Wheel Vintiques with wide white B.F. Goodrich radial tires. This creates an old school look combined with many modern features. You will love the way this truck runs and drives.

Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales

Wed, Nov 1 2017

DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles Β— a source of concern for the market Β— slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.

2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid, now with 48 mpg city

Wed, Apr 1 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is already one of the stars of the 2015 New York Auto Show thanks to a huge improvement in styling, lighter weight and new suite of tech. Now, Chevy is shifting the focus to the available hybrid model and detailing some more of its impressive figures. The 2016 Malibu Hybrid's powertrain consists of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder and a two-motor hybrid system with a 1.5-kilowatt hour lithium ion battery. Chevy's engineers are aiming for EPA fuel economy ratings of 48 miles per gallon city, 45 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined. The setup puts out a total of 182 horsepower, and it can accelerate the sedan to 60 miles per hour in a claimed 7.8 seconds. Also, speeds of up to 55 miles per hour can even be reached under fully electric power. Some of this efficient tech is shared with the latest Volt, including the regenerative braking. For reference, the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid carries an EPA rating of 44 mpg city, 41 mpg highway and 42 mpg combined, and its hybrid system puts out a total of 188 hp. There is a wait ahead for buyers looking to park the 2016 Malibu Hybrid in their garage, though. While the standard model should be on sale before the end of the year, the hybrid doesn't arrive in showrooms until the spring of 2016. Malibu Hybrid Estimated to Reach 48 MPG in City Driving New sedan projected to offer segment unsurpassed 47 MPG combined 2015-04-01 NEW YORK –The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, which uses technology from the Chevrolet Volt, will offer a General Motors-estimated 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway Β– and 47 mpg combined, unsurpassed in the segment, GM President Dan Ammann announced today. Ammann made the announcement at an International Motoring Press Association breakfast before the 2016 Malibu was to be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show. "Fuel efficiency is important to our customers, especially in the midsize segment and with an estimated 48 mpg city rating, the Malibu Hybrid delivers," Ammann said. An all-new direct-injection 1.8L 4-cylinder engine mated to a two-motor drive unit slightly modified from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt drive unit powers the Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine during acceleration, for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power. An 80-cell, 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides electric power to the Hybrid system. The advanced lithium-ion based chemistry can power the Malibu hybrid at up to 55 miles per hour on electricity alone.
