1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Sedan 4-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States

Hello. I am not an automobile dealer or collector. This was my father's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. He died several years ago and I have had it ever since. Although I keep it insured, I miht drive it 30 miles A YEAR. It has been in a few parades etc. -otherwise it has been under a tarp. I know very little about automobiles, but need to lay on cash. I have twin daughters that begin college in the fall. I have taken a number pictures and welcome and ncourage you to call or come by and take a look. I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. I must point out that it is SOLD AS IS. PLEASE understand this. I will however answer all questions as best I can and you can have a mechanic come with you or whatever to insure you like what you get. I really do not know how to evaluate its value--but based on what I am seeing on Ebay, i think I have it priced right!. I do not know the engine size. If you know how to instruct me on determining the size, let me know. I do know my dad had a different engine put in it not long before he died. The car runs very smoothly, sounds fine, and has plenty of get up and go. All I have had to do to it is buy new batteries that have run down from lack of use. I do not know of any engine problems. It does not use a lot of water or oil. It does not appear to leak oil, but I know it has not had any new seal for several years. Don't know how that works. The brakes work OK--but they are old disc brakes and I do not like to drive it. I had it painted about 6 or 7 years ago. I had it painted the same colors it has always been. We called this car "ol' Blue". It has very little rust. I noticed a couple of "paint bubbles" on one door panel, but no visible rust. We do NOT live in an area where salt is used, so there is minimal rust to the undercarriage. There is no rust in the trunk. It has original chrome. There is some bent and dented chrome. There is rust on the fenders coming through the chrome. I would think they need rechroming. The interior is OK for a 50 year old car. There is no rips or tears. My father had new door panels put in a few years ago. I can remember it was quite expensive. The hardware is original and there is a lot of wear to chrome on door handles. The windows do work, but it is hard to raise and lower windows, especially on drivers side. The headliner is original and needs replacing. It does have a working heater, no AC-never had it. My father bought the seat belts, but they have never been installed. They are still in box in trunk. Tire rims are original, in good shape, but do have rust. The tires are not worn, but are probably close to dry rotting. They hold air, but I would not recommend driving on them. It would be advisable to have the car towed to new home and inspected before driving long distances. It has spare tire- i guess it is original too. No antenna or working radio-still has orginal radio in dash. The glass is not broken- good windows and windshields. I have no idea how many miles the new engine actually has- I do not know if my Dad put in a rebuilt engine or what--I am not a mechanic. i do not know what size it is. It uses regular gas. The seals on the doors are pretty bad--dry rotted. Floor boards are good. Overall this car is not bad to be an old classic. I truly hate to sell it and would not if i did not need the money. I want you to be happy with it, but again sold AS IS. I am not going to predict what a 50 year old car will do. If you would like to make an appointment to look at it or if you have questions please call me at 334-237-0110. I am on central time--please do not call after 8 o'clock. It will be your responsibility to move the vehicle. Although it drives now-I would be very leasry about driving it home. The tires are old and the car has not been on a long drive in years.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks
Tue, May 26 2015General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
