I'm afraid I have taken too long in restoring this car. I'm 70 now and retired. I have lost interest and financially will have a hard time finishing this project that I have had for over 15 years. I am going to offer this beautiful 55 Chevy up for sale, but if it does not bring at least my starting bid, please dont email me with an offer. I wont sell it for any less. The car was professional painted probably 4 years ago, after that I traded a professional top notch auto repair shop a nice 1966 Chevelle to do a turn key mechanical repair to make my 55 drivable. They installed a crate 350 motor, 700 R tranny, rewired the car with a new wire harness, installed disc brakes in the front, BE COOL, radiator. They were suppose to install VINTAGE AIR, but they had so many hours into the car, they stopped half way through. I tried to call them on the carpet to finish our agreement, but they said they were way over the value of the Chevelle. All of the chrome is either new originals or buffed out original. The car is drivable. I have probably 100 miles on it since I picked it up at the mechanic shop. There is so much more that has done to the car, but it would take way too long to tell all. The tires are new. You will be getting all the parts that are missing off of the car . Actually there may be a whole pickup load of extra parts. I have the restored steering wheel and all that goes with it, the rechromed front bumper, at least two beautiful sets of original hubcaps, several grilles, just a ton of extra parts goes with the car. I have a complete set of original hardtop seats and door panels. The seats and panels are in an upholstery shop, but I think I will have to pick them up UNFINISHED. This is another reason I'm tired of the car. This is my second upholster. The first one had all my interior for 3 years and never started it, but did bleed me for some of the money. This upholster has had the interior for 1 year and has not started. I hate to say it, but I have meet more flakes in the auto business than anything else I've ever seen. Back to the 55 Chevy. You will need to finish installing the interior chrome. I do have the headliner bows, but I never have bought the headliner material ( the upholster was suppose to do that ). I do have the rolls of vinyl ( red & white ) to do the interior. You will have to button up the front end with the grille , head lights, splash pan and bumper. I have all the parts and the splash pans are painted. You will have to finish wiring the VINTAGE A/C. it's basicly minor adjustments thats left to do, but still a few hours to put in. I know I'm probably forgetting a lot to mention, so if interested please email me. I've had numerous request to call people, so to be fair to all you can call me at 208-461-5730 Dan

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Recharge Wrap-up: Long Beach ePrix, London's new electric buses

Tue, Jul 21 2015

London will put 51 new electric buses into service. With the addition of these buses, two more routes (in addition to one already in operation) will be all-electric. Transport for London plans to have all of central London's 300 single-decker buses running on electricity or hydrogen by 2020. "The expansion of London's electric bus fleet demonstrates our commitment to reducing emissions from public transport in London," says Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy, Matthew Pencharz. "The Ultra Low Emission Zone that will be introduced in 2020 is the most ambitious measure of its kind taken to tackle air pollution anywhere in the world, and it will transform our bus fleet into a cleaner, greener and more pleasant way of travelling for Londoners." Read more from Transport for London, and from Green Car Congress. The Chevrolet Volt is subject to a tie-rod recall. Along with 10 Cruze vehicles, one 2015 Volt has been recalled because of a tie rod that might not have been tightened to the steering gear correctly, which could lead to a loss of steering control. Chevrolet will replace the steering gear assembly, supplied by Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, for free. There have been no reported injuries from this issue. Read more at Detroit News. The Formula E Long Beach ePrix will take place on April 2, 2016. For the second season of the electric racing series, Long Beach is the only confirmed US host, as the spot on the calendar previously held by Miami still remains to be determined. More than 20,000 fans attended the inaugural Long Beach ePrix earlier this year, where Nelson Piquet, Jr. took first place before going on to win the Drivers' Championship. "It's extremely exciting to welcome the ePrix back to Long Beach for a second year," says Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, "and we are hopeful that this demonstration of innovation, sustainability, and cutting edge technology will return to our city year after year."

The FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) World Motor Sport Council recently approved the calendar for the second season of the FIA Formula E Championship, with Long Beach scheduled as the sixth of 11 rounds in the series. Overall, 10 venues will host Formula E events, with the 2015-16 season beginning once again in Beijing on Oct. 17.
