We just acquired this outstanding 55 Bel Air from the estate of a Chevrolet Dealer in southwest Pennsylvania. Mr. Sunderland was a lifelong car dealer with multiple franchises. His first job in automobile sales as a salesperson was for S&S Chevrolet in Thompsontown, PA in 1955. His very first sale was to a local lady and it was this very same Bel Air sedan. Mr. Sunderland kept track of this iconic first sold car and 40 years later had a chance to buy it back and add it to hiss small vintage car collection. He kept the car in its well maintained, totally unrestored condition until his passing earlier this year at which time we purchased the car as you see it here. Having traveled just 63,000 miles in nearly 60 years, this car is one of the finest unmolested originals you will ever find. A very nicely optioned Bel Air Sedan equipped with the 265 V-8, powerglide automatic transmission, factory AM radio, E-Z eye tinted glass and white sidewall tires. The cars very clear history tells us that excellent maintenance and safe, dry storage preserved this car in a near amazing overall condition. The car runs, drives, rides and performs about as close to a new 55 Chevy as you could ever imagine. A recent complete service was just completed and this car needs nothing to be driven and enjoyed. This car is original paint except for the two front fenders which were refinished when Mr. Sunderland acquired the car due to paint being very thin, nearly gone on the top surfaces. All other paint is factory original applied in 1955 and some areas are getting thin also but still very presentable in its original patina. Exterior chrome and brightwork is all original and near mint as is window glass and all weatherstripping. This car has absolutely no rust anywhere-zero- and never has had any repair anywhere. It is rock solid. The interior is one of the most incredible parts of this car. It is 1005 original and absolutely like new with no wear or deterioration anywhere. The original carets appear to have been always covered by large fitted floor mats preserving them to be pristine. All soft surfaces are superb, headliner is excellent an all interior painted trim and brightwork is as new and unrestored. Everything functions properly including the original radio. The trunk compartment holds one original whitewall tire as a spare along with jack and tools. The factory rubber mat is mint and still soft and pliable. Trunk floor paint is flawless under the mat as you see in one of our pictures. Having owned a good number of very fine 55-57 Chevy's over the years this one is by far the most original and unrestored. This is one true survivor of one of the most popular Chevy's ever built and likely one of the best.

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application

Fri, Dec 26 2014

In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here areÂ our two top choices.Â OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (theÂ Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.Â Â In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row CrossoverÂ |Â Â Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUVÂ |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
