It is impossible to speak of a classic fifties or sixties Chevrolet without talking about the iconic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. To many enthusiasts it is the ultimate 50’s Cruiser. Its styling is timeless. And, OH those tail fins!! Plus, take a look at the hood with those gun sites!

This 57 Convertible was the subject of a body-off restoration several years ago, but has only traveled 180 miles since. The miles are mainly the de-bugging process and car shows. Things in particular I want you to notice are the dual exhaust pipes with the proper exhaust manifolds, the power pack heads connected to the correct 57 block and a very nice working Rochester carburetor. Please also notice the correct black air cleaner and the correct valve covers adorned in Chevy orange paint. This classic is also correctly finished in the red oxide primer on the floors and has had all the suspension items front and rear redone correctly.

This iconic legend is absolutely beautiful as you can plainly see and would fit right in with your collection of classic cars. The stance on this 57 Chevy Convertible is fantastic and it really looks great going down the road, especially with those nice wide whites it is sporting. It even looks great with the white top up which of course matches perfectly with the wide white tires. 

This beautiful convertible was recently in the Houston Corvette/Chevy Expo. In that Houston is the fourth largest city in the US, this show was a major event. Below are the pictures from the show. We missed winning First Place by 1/2 of 1 point!! I have added pictures from the show whic include all the detailing of the engine and interior that was done for the show with correct decals and tags. The final score for the car was 95 1/2 out of 100. 

We reserve the right the end the auction at any time because this car is for sale locally. 

You do not get to be the high bidder and then inspect the vehicle. Inspect the vehicle before the auction ends if you wish.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

Chevy, GMC have electric pickups coming. Is Cadillac next?

Fri, Jan 7 2022

GMC already has an uber-expensive electric pickup in the Hummer EV. By now you've no doubt seen the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. It's a pickup. It's electric. It looks a little bit like an Avalanche. Hmm. You know what else was a pickup that looked a little bit like an Avalanche? Why, the Cadillac Escalade EXT, of course.  Cadillac Escalade EV-T yes or no?https://t.co/R1AXThRzIG@therealautoblog @Cadillac — Byron "Don't do anything Byron says. Ever" Hurd (@Byron_AB) January 7, 2022 So, hypothetically, if Cadillac were to build an Escalade EXT with an upmarket interior, Super Cruise, a minimum of 300 miles of range, 10,000 pounds of towing capacity, a locking frunk and 5-passenger seating, plus all of the nifty doodads and gadgets we've already seen on the Silverado ... would it sell?  OK, this isn't entirely hypothetical. In fact, I received a survey from Cadillac this morning asking just that. It's an interesting question. And it's one we're putting to you, the readers. So, what say you? Cadillac Escalade EV-T? Yes or no? Related video:

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.
