Rare 1956 Business Coupe. This model has the lowest production numbers of any 1956
Chevrolet. (Right next to the Nomad) There are very few of these business coupes still in existence today. The 150
was mainly conceived as a fleet model sold from 1953 to 1957 and little effort was spent marketing it to the
average buyer. It was most popular with police, state governments, small businesses, economy-minded consumers and
hot rodders. Chevrolet sold substantially less one-fifties than two-tens or Bel Airs in every year of its life.
In 1956, Chevrolet's mildly disguised race package was more commonly referred to as the "Business Coupe". These
Vehicles were the plain vanilla versions of the "police package" cars and were available only in the 2 door post
body style. They featured a sparse option list, had rubber floor mats in place of carpeting, fixed rear windows,
and an item known as a package tray which consisted of a 3/8 inch fiberboard where the back seat was originally
intended to be.
This beautiful, understated, fully restored and painted in its original color (Indian Ivory) rare Chevy Business
Coupe is running with a 355 Chevy engine (350 bored 30 over) with a mild thumper cam and puts out approximately 300
HP. The transmission is a turbo 350 with a shift kit. The rear original to the car we are approximating to be a
3:23. AT 60 MPH the car is taching at 2000 RPM. This rare beauty can be driven anywhere in comfort and handles as
well as it looks. Only 4600 miles has been put on this classic since the restoration.
Additional features of this 1956 Chevy include: A new interior restored to as original as was practical, power
steering, power disc brakes (front), brushed aluminum tilt steering column, a sun tach, auto meter fully mechanical
gauges, tinted windows, a rear seat, perfect chrome, cragar SST's with Kelly 205/65R15 92T on the front and
255/70R15 108S on the rear. She has aluminized exhaust, flow masters with welded chrome tips, an Edlebrock
carburetor, and Edlebrock polished manifold, a chrome alternator and bracket kit, an aluminum radiator with an
aluminum overflow. A transmission cooler, and a new power steering pump. The "old school stance" was accomplished
by using A/C springs in the front and 5 leaf springs in the rear. Seat belts front and rear were also installed.
This rare Chevy is a truly beautiful example of automotive history and is sure to appreciate in value while she is
being enjoyed. Lovingly owned and maintained. She is in need of nothing but a new owner to continue to pamper her.
Having spent almost 90% of her life in Alabama, this is a rust free car.
If you are looking for a classic TRI 5 Chevy or specifically a rare 56, don't miss out on this outstanding car. You
will not be disappointed.

GM threatens predatory dealers with order cancellations, non-transferrable warranties

Fri, Jul 29 2022

General Motors will launch a second salvo against misbehaving dealerships next week with a new set of policies aimed at curbing predatory markup strategies. With the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV SUV and Cadillac Escalade-V about to head into production, GM is putting its foot down yet again. Dealers that attempt to circumvent GM's markup restrictions by dealing directly with brokers or other resellers could find themselves in a particularly nasty spot, as the company is threatening to withhold future allocations and end the transferability of warranties when dealers facilitate the reselling of vehicles within 12 months.  While this may help curb some dealership chicanery, it's possible the real loser in such a deal could end up being the customer who unwittingly ends up with an un-warrantied vehicle. We suspect GM has accounted for that, but we'll have to wait until next week to find out exactly how these new policies will be enforced.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
