I purchased this vehicle in Iowa  ( 1988 ) from a company that obtained it after the original owners had passed away. They knew the family and the history of the car. I drove it home to Wisconsin and it ran perfectly. It has been stored since in a dry environment in mothballs to keep the mice away. This car is completely original, nothing has been changed or modified . A  survivor with nothing sprayed or gooped on to mask the true condition. The interior is very nice, all gauges function except fuel ,needle goes from empty to full when the key is turned. The horn, lights, wipers all work , even the radio. The heater controls function as do the turn signals. The clock is only correct twice a day. The fabric is not worn and in excellent condition, carpeting has  some minor stains and  some spots on the headliner, but overall very nice.  All the rubber weatherstrip is soft and intact. At some point  wax was applied to the steering wheel  and has yellowed. The wheel has no cracks or chips and I did not try and remove the wax because I do not want to harm the plastic. It is not as bad as it sounds. The brite-work and stainless is very clean and straight, no pitting or scrapes. The chrome bumpers are very good except for one spot on the rear bumper below the license plate, looks like someone hit it with a hammer.  Very clean chrome with no corrosion. The lenses, badges and emblems are clear , the Impala badge on the passenger side has a screw in it, can't figure out why someone would do that. All the glass is blemish free, no fogging or cracks anywhere and no pits or scratches. The windows roll up and down smoothly and the doors close like a bank vault, no sagging hinges. What would you expect from an original car with less than 30 thousand miles, check the oil change sticker on the door and the odometer photo. This Chevy is painted  in GM lacquer and still shines with only a few scratches around the body. The body does have a few small dings/dents but none serious or bigger than a dime/quarter,  again look at the pictures. All the panels are straight and I can't emphasize enough how rust free this car is. I pulled up the trunk mat to see what hidden surprises were under it, nothing but solid sheet metal with no rust. The underside was not sprayed with undercoating so all you see is metal painted black. In the spots where the paint is degraded there is only factory red primer.The frame is also clean. This car has no body rust and the bottoms of the door are exceptional. The engine fires right up, but the generator light remains lit. Car has manual brakes and no power steering. I believe the tires are original and hold air but the sidewalls have cracks.. Surface rust in the engine bay only, very light. The 283 has not been repainted. Overall, very good car with a realistic reserve , nothing crazy here. Probably one of the nicest all original 59's you will ever see.

Sunday Drive: Subaru Ascends up to the hottest market segment in America

Mon, Feb 19 2018

Utility vehicles – in other words, crossovers and SUVs – are so hot right now. Two of our top stories from last week revolve around the utilitarian vehicle, but besides their jacked-up, five-door bodystyles, they couldn't be more different. The 2019 Subaru Ascent is headed into an extremely crowded and competitive segment, where it'll have to go up against industry stalwarts like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, not to mention upstart contenders like the Volkswagen Atlas. The Mercedes-AMG G63, on the other hand, has very little competition – there simply aren't very many ultra-luxurious, off-road-ready SUVs in the world vying to attract the dollars of the wellest-to-do customers across these United States. Moving on from crossovers and SUVs, our readers remain attracted to classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sportscars. The Toyota Supra's upcoming rebirth earns two places on our list of stories worth highlighting from the week that was; one with leaked information from a Japanese magazine, and another with rumors indicating that maybe we shouldn't be quite so excited. And finally, there's the strange case of the long-lost 2009 Chevy Corvette Z06 that one lucky individual happened to find squirreled away in a storage container with just 720 original miles. A high-horsepower head scratcher if we've ever seen one. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print. 2019 Subaru Ascent vs Honda Pilot vs Toyota Highlander: How they compare on paper 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 set to bare its 577-horsepower heart in Geneva Toyota Supra leaks in Japanese magazine ahead of Geneva debut Toyota Supra to be little more than a rebodied BMW Z4?

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
