1955 Bel Air Convertible - Rare Continental Kit With Skirts- Old Barn Find - on 2040-cars
Cave Creek, Arizona, United States
1955 Bel Air Convertible - Rare Continental Kit With Skirts - This Bel Air Convertible has been in a barn for many years. Has it's 265 2 barrel V8 with a manual 3 speed on the column. The Bel Air will start up and run and it moves and the brakes work too, but you will need to go through it from sitting.
The Bel Air is Two Tone Red and White, it has very old paint and looks to be in fair shape, it still has the dirt on the Bel Air from sitting in the barn, never cleaned it but I think if you give it a good wash, buff and wax job it wouldn't look to bad. The body looks fairly straight, has some chips and scratches and some small bubbles and like I said old paint. The Bel Air X frame doesn't look to bad, it is scally in places on the frame and some of the frame supports may need to be replaced or fixed. Some of the floors are scally and rusty with holes, it looks like many years ago they did do some patch work on some of the floors. To make the Bel Air right, you will need to replace some of the floors or patch them and some of the frame braces and supports too, or you can still drive it the way it is now, your choice. Inside the trunk the floor doesn't look to bad. You can see all this in the detailed pictures. The Bel Air interior is Two Tone Red and White and is in pretty fair shape for it's age, still has the original radio and clock and the rest of the interior looks pretty original. If you cleaned it up it would look pretty good for a old age interior. The White Top doesn't look to bad, it just needs a good cleaning, I have the Red Convertible boot that comes with the car too. It does have a power top and the power top motor works but I never tried to put the top down. The chrome and stainless is in pretty fair shape, the front bumper will need to be Rechromed because the chrome is peeling off. This old 1955 Bel Air Convertible Barn Find is Pretty complete and it runs and has the very Rare Continental Kit With Skirts. Extremely popular collectible to fix up. I have a clean Title in Hand. I described this Bel Air Convertible to the best of my Knowledge. Please email me anytime for any detailed questions about the Bel Air Convertible, ask as many questions as you like.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: 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.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Recharge Wrap-up: EVs poll well in Portland, Tesla seeks office space
Tue, Aug 5 2014In a poll of drivers in Portland, more than 80 percent said they would be driving an EV in the next 10 years if they weren't already. The poll was small and not scientific, with just 218 votes cast, but it does reflect a slice of a certain population with changing attitudes toward electric mobility, and 80 percent is an impressive figure. Additionally, 43 percent of respondents planned to have an EV in the next five years, and only 18 percent said they prefer gasoline-powered vehicles. With EVs in many ways repeating the adoption process that hybrids went through a decade ago, the five- or ten-year timeframe for more widespread use seems only natural.

His Chevrolet Volt has been ticketed for parking six times since he took office. Granted, those street-sweeping signs are tough to keep track of, but his car has been photographed blocking at a bus stop while grabbing a burrito (who hasn't sinned in the name of a delicious burrito?), and was even caught parked in a crosswalk. The tickets were all dismissed. Read more from the SF Gate. Tesla is looking for office space in Silicon Valley. As the electric car company continues to search for a place to build its $4- to $5-billion battery Gigafactory, it also needs some real estate to expand its operations near its Palo Alto home. Tesla has expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 California-based employees since the end of 2012, and plans to add 500 more by the end of the year. It is currently looking for 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space close to its Fremont factory, according to sources in the real estate industry.
