It is a 3 speed manual transmission, column shift. It was Meticulously restored (rotisserie) to show quality a few
years ago. the 1956 Bel Air is considered by many fans of the “Tri-Five” era cars to be the perfect balancing
act of the mid-fifties flagship Chevrolet. Beyond its balance of old and new, the ’56 was also a stellar
performer in its day, with a win at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb and a 24-hour Darlington speed record to its credit.
The example being offered is handsomely presented in Matador Red and India Ivory two-tone exterior colors that are
also utilized in the interior. Among the equipment on the Bel Air you will find a V-8 engine with dual exhaust,
manual transmission, power soft-top, radio, dual sideview mirrors, spare and jack, factory wheel covers and
whitewall tires.

There were 41,883 2dr convertibles made in 1956 and only about 3% of all Bel Airs (Hardtops and Convertibles) had
the 265/225 HP dual quad V-8 with “Batwing” air cleaner, and even less in one of the most desirable color
combinations of Matador Red and India Ivory. You may never see this perfect combination again.
I have kept this stored in my climate controlled garage and there is no rusts or issues. Brakes need some minor
adjustments and there are minor leaks from being stored. The car starts right up and is ready to show.
Anyone is welcomed to come see the car in person in Fort Worth, just send me a message.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?
Wed, Mar 9 2016You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
