UNMOLESTED 1957 Chevrolet 4 door post Bel Air - Original - GREAT BARN FIND

This 1957 Chevrolet 4 door post Bel Air, is now up for sale. It has been in the Garage most of the time since 1973
a Daily driver prior to that. Has been undriven and stored for 40 years. I bought this car due to the fact of how solid it is. 
This is a dry climate Bel Air and it shows. It is a total project and needs everything under the sun, but 
you've got a great base to start. 

It is originally a 283 V8 small block with three speed transmission on the column. (Three on the tree)
This is a Dallas Texas car originally sold at Vandergriff Chevrolet. 

The Mechanic's:
It does come with the original 283 motor that I pulled from the car. Needs rebuilding. Does not run. Comes with the car.
I have three speed transmission that I got with the car. It was already removed. 
The only damage to the car is before I got it, someone cut the floor for a floor shifter (in the tunnel)
and a small dent in right rear quarter, by the bumper, both are an easy repair, and a small scrape under the rear passenger
 door on the rocker molding. ( see pictures )
I did replace all ball joints in the front end as well as all the "A" frame bushings. This is the only work I have done.
I believe to have all the car except the radiator, Dome lens, one hub cap, and a headlight. ( this is all I can remember not having )

The Body:
Originally a Black painted car with a white painted top all patina is original. Also original Red and black interior. 
The carpet is gone. The original floors and trunk pan are intact throughout. Drivers Floor pan has worst corrosion.
(see Pictures with a bolt) Spare Tire sump in the trunk has rust ( see pictures ) the rust u see in the trunk corners
is not in the metal, just crumbs on top, easy vacuum clean.
The glass is also original and intact throughout. But Two windows are Cracked, Driver Passenger door, and Passenger Front door. Still
intact just cracked not shattered.
All of the glass rides on its window tracks. Roll up and down, Vent windows roll as well. The doors, hood and trunk line up straight. 

The title for the car is a small green title last transferred March of 1966.
These pictures were taken a couple weeks back when I pulled it from the barn to get more light for the pictures to take well,
and to get good pictures under the car as well as of the car. I did put it back in the barn. where it has been. 
Way to much to list, call if interested for more details.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
