Up for auction is a 1955 Chevy 150 2 door post sedan. The 150 "Business Coupe" came from the factory with no rear seat. This was a very basic sedan that was inexpensive and had no frills. Unlike its big brother the Bel Air the 150 had no extra trim, very few options and was a bare bones sedan used to market the wares of the traveling salesman. Because of the lack of fancy trim and rear seating this little sedan was the lightest of all the Chevrolets and was very sought after, for obvious reasons, by the Drag Racing crowd.

This unbelievably solid example of a real 50's California "Gasser" has been in dry storage in California for many years. I don't have all the history but this hot rod is believed to have been in California most of, if not all of, its life. The car has factory California "one piece" bumpers and all of the sheet metal, including floor pan and trunk pan, appears to be original and exceptionally solid. The factory rear quarter panels were "radius" cut many years ago to accomodate larger tires for drag racing. The popular rear differential back in the 50's and 60's for drag racing was a heavy duty "full size" Pontiac or Olds. This nostalgic gasser still has the 1959 Olds rear. Very rare today. The Danas and Ford 9" rears were not available in that era.

I have waited and searched many years to find an old gasser in this condition just to find I am loosing my garage space and can not complete the project. You will probably never see another 55 Chevy this solid again. Remember these cars are almost 60 years old now. I purchased the car in California and had it shipped to the east coast. The car is now in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Included in the auction is a perfect running 1970 big block 402 chevy with aluminum dual quad tunnel ram, dual Holley carbs and a 400 turbo trans. There is a video in the photos of the motor running. The drivetrain was just put in place for shipping and the mounts etc will need to be welded in. There is a front straight axel under the car. I believe it is a Speedway. The steering will need to be hooked up as well as brakes etc. This is a project. A nice reverse steering box and many misc parts are included. The rear glass is in the car and the windshield and some side glass is included. There is a driveshaft, radiator, window seals, interior window moldings, etc. included.

The inside front door panels have been cut probably for weight and plexiglass windows. The floor is unbelievably solid with just a small area on the drivers front rusted through. Please view photos. The trunk pan is original and very solid. The holes you see are not rot holes but are where someone cut openings for the rear spring to come through. Obviously to lower the rear for better traction. The spare tire well has been removed. Remember this is a real "old school gasser" .. these are things they did back in the day. There is a California "Off Road Use" sticker from 1977 still on the rear glass and a California Car Club sticker on the rear bumper. Cool stuff.

The front fenders are just "tacked" to the hood and are real steel and look to be originals. The hood is uncut. The bottoms of the doors, fenders, rockers and quarter drop offs are super nice. The all steel dash has had some custom weld work done for gauges. All around the windows and front and rear glass is super solid and dry. I have never seen one more solid. This will be a great car to complete as a street gasser or put back to original.

Please view all photos and ask all questions before bidding. Please notice my 100 % perfect 10 year feedback rating...bid with confidence. I have placed a very modest reserve on the car so bid what you can afford and bid to win but please don't ask what the reserve is as this is an "auction".

The "trim tag" and "vin tag" are intact and in there original correct locations. Also included in the sale is the free and clear California title.

Thank you for looking and bidding ... may the best man / woman win an unbelievable piece of American Drag Racing.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During 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.
