Before I
begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at 1-517-990-2646
with any questions or concerns. This
auction is for a 1959 Chevrolet Belair 2-door 1 family owned since new. I apologize
in advance for the long winded story but this car deserves it. 1959 is said by
some to be the best year, for
the second time in as many years, Chevrolet again came up with a totally new
car. From the front or rear the 1959 Chevrolets resembled nothing else on the
road. From the headlights, placed as low as the law would allow, to the
cats-eye tail lights, the 1959 Chevrolet was a brand new car with all new sheet
metal, a new frame, and even new series names. The most visual new change was
the flat, wing shaped tailfins. The
'59 Chevy was the last car that Harley Earl designed for GM before retiring,
and his flamboyant style was very evident. It’s
in great condition throughout! All the
mechanics work properly, looks great and is fun to drive!
This very rare 59 Belair is in nice original condition everywhere you
look with only 1 re-paint to the original color. This car is a one family owned
car I bought it from the niece of the original owner we have a folder full of documentation
of ownership including the original title in his name. ‘59 model year and is a
very rare to find one for sale, let alone one that is in the original condition
this one is, this car may be the one you can own at a great price. This car is
a rare find with being one family owned since new with docs and the fact that
it is all original with only one repaint and a new headliner. The miles on the
odometer show 61,299 and are original to the car. The engine bay is original,
when the car was passed down in 2005 the motor was completely rebuilt we have
the receipts also, the paint was also done at that time, still looks nice but
not perfect, they added power steering for ease of driving there were older at
this time also, every piece of chrome and stainless is very nice with the exception
of the bumpers they had them painted with a special chrome paint and they said
it looked good at the time but after almost 10 years they need to be re-chromed.
Turn over the 283 V-8 engine and quite rumble from the exhausts hits a sweet
tune. Driving it, you will appreciate the ride and handling characteristics.
The optional 2-speed auto transmission shifts smoothly, the power brakes stop
the car quickly and securely. It’s is a blast to drive!
The body is in nice condition. The metal is clean and straight with no
signs of damage. We have pictures of the car in 2005 before any work was done;
it still was all original everywhere but the tires. All the glass is in great
shape with no chips or cracks. The original bias-ply spare tire and all the jack assembly is all there,
the original paint under the deck lid and original jack instructions are still
there with the original trunk mat. The underside is
very solid the original owner had the car rust proofed new and then had it done
a couple more times over the years just to make sure the car would last.
Overall this is a rare
opportunity to own a true piece of American history of the automobile industry,
how many 59 Belair’s do you see at your local or national events across the
country? I welcome overseas buyers please feel free to call me at 517-990-2646.

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Transport Canada, the auto safety regulator, has opened a probe into braking issues in nearly 250,000 General Motors full-size pickups and SUVs after U.S. officials launched a similar probe last year, the agency said on its website. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in November into 2.73 million U.S. 2014-2016 model year SUVs and pickups after receiving 487 reports of hard brake pedal effort accompanied by extended stopping distance that were attributed to deterioration of the engine-driven brake assist vacuum pump. Transport Canada's probe covers 249,700 2015 through 2017 model year vehicles including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon as well as 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado LD and GMC Sierra LD vehicles. The U.S. agency said it had reports of nine incidents of vehicles incurring damage as a result of colliding with another vehicle or fixed object at low speeds and reports of two injuries. NHTSA said if the pump fails to operate, the amount of brake power assist can be significantly reduced, extending vehicle stopping distance. The NHTSA sent GM an information request in a Feb. 7 letter. A GM spokesman said he had no update on the investigation. Reporting by David Shepardson; editing by Jonathan Oatis
