All Original 1957 Chevy Belair 2dr 283 Power Glide 87,000 Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Westmoreland, Kansas, United States
| Up for sale is my  57 belair.  I've had this car about 12 years and bought it because it used to be my grandpas.  He was the second owner, and he sold it to a local guy that drove it an indeterminate period of time before retiring it.  I hounded him about it for years until he finally sold it to me but I've finally come to the realization I'm not doing the car any justice to let it continue to set,  so I'm hoping to find it a good home where it'll get the attention and tlc that a car of this caliber deserves.  I'll describe condition best I can but check the pics, there are lots.  The floor pans appear very solid.  No apparent holes anywhere.  Trunk floor has one spot rusted through, it's pictured.  Spare tire we'll is solid.  No rust in the deck lid.  Bottom of doors look very solid too, just some surface rust.  Small spots at the bottom corner of either fender. A couple floor stringers are rusty but inner and outer rockers appear very solid. as you're looking at the pics, the spot above the center of the left rear wheelwell isn't rust blisters as the pic makes it look, it's actually the remnants of some sort of insect nest.   Other than the rh fender and quarter this car is all original paint.  The quarter was repaired long ago, evidenced by the use of lead filler.  The fender appears to be more of a 70s vintage repair, with plastic filler.  No other bodywork or paint work has ever been done on this car.  No amateur restorations or cobble jobs.  Other than the two fender bender repairs this thing is untouched since it rolled off the line.  Original trunk mat still there, also pictured in the trunk are some interior trim pieces, light lenses, the missing headlight bucket, trim ring and garnish, antenna base, one of the three original hubcaps still with the car, and some misc.  if you see something missing in the pics, it is most likely in the trunk, this car is very complete.  You're even looking at (what's left of) the original upholstery!  All the windows roll up and down and wing vents crank out like they should.  We had the engine running several years ago on a small bottle of fuel.  Probably needs gone through but is usable and I believe it original to the car.  I know my grandpa never replaced any driveline components and the guy I got it from said he never had any issues and he drove it years earlier to the spot it was sitting when I got it.  Same story on the rest of the power train.  Pictured are a couple old oil change stickers that support the mileage reading on the odometer.  I've got a endorsed title for the car, issued in 1971. I've covered the name on the pic of it for privacy reasons. Also shown is a old photo of the car from when it belonged to grandpa.  Feel free to message me with any questions.  Absolutely no paypal. cash or certified funds only, and the car will not leave my possession until I am completely satisfied that funds have cleared.  I can store the car if need be but it must be paid for within one week of auction end.  It should go without saying but here it is anyways:  you are not bidding on the opportunity to look at the car or come check it out and make your final decision, if you are high bidder you are the new owner.  Check with the wife and bank BEFORE bidding.  car sold as is, where is.  i have described it to the best of my ability/knowledge, no warranty or guarantees expressed or implied.  any potential bidders are more than welcome to come check out the car in person at any time.  Thanks for looking. On Sep-04-14 at 19:37:39 PDT, seller added the following information: The pic of the trunk floor looks worse than it really is, the only rust through is at the left front corner, there is a close up shot of it. The rest is just surface rust. |

They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier.

GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.

Recharge Wrap-up: Panasonic, Tesla on Gigafactory deal?
Tue, Jul 29 2014Bentley has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for reductions of carbon, water use and waste production in manufacturing. The Carbon Trust is an organization that helps groups such as businesses and governments reduce carbon emissions, use of energy and resources, and waste output. From 2011 to 2013, Bentley reduced CO2 emissions by 16 percent per car manufactured, curtailed water use by 35.7 percent, and saw significant waste reductions. Darran Messem of Carbon trust says, "Bentley is clearly passionate about continuing to improve its environmental performance, which is reflected by the fact the company has consistently invested in new technology." Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet is giving 12 Volts to MBAs Across America. The organization will use the range-extended electric cars in its efforts to help MBA students learn from and work with small business owners. As part of the MBAs Across America program's first year, four students drove 8,000 miles to provide entrepreneurs with free business counseling. The program has expanded, and this year, teams of MBAs will use the Volts to travel to 25 cities to offer their services. Learn more about the partnership between Chevrolet and MBAs Across America in the press release below. A professor from the University of Michigan has found fuel cycle analysis to be too flawed to be relied upon for measuring CO2 impacts of transportation fuels. Professor John DeCicco of the university's Energy Institute feels that the flaws in calculating the carbon footprint of liquid fuel production and combustion make such lifecycle analysis impractical. He suggests, instead, to focus to carbon capture. Since capturing CO2 directly from a vehicle is probably never going to happen, DiCicco believes the solution is to capture carbon from the atmosphere in sectors outside of transportation. Says DiCicco, "Research should be ramped up on options for increasing the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and on programs to manage and utilize carbon fixed in the biosphere, which offers the best CO2 removal mechanism now at hand. Such strategies can complement measures that control the demand for liquid fuels by reducing travel activity, improving vehicle efficiency and shifting to non-carbon fuels."

Global transportation energy consumption is expected to increase by 25.4 percent by 2035, according to a report by Navigant Research.
