1956 Chevrolet Convertible

Of all the classics we have owned this is by far the best quality and the most eye pleasing one we have handled to date. This is a fresh, just completed frame off restoration. When we traded for it it was about 90% finished. We finished the car and have driven it as to work out all the bugs. This one is about as close to perfect as they get.

The odometer cluster was rebuilt then set to zero. Car had six tenths of a mile at time of trade. Car now has only one hundred twenty miles. It's new and fresh

The paint work is of show quality. 56 Chev colors Harbor Blue and Nassau Blue. The new convertible top is Harbor Blue. New padding and new back window. The interior is all new and dead on the original. Carpet is new as is everything else.

All works on the car with exception of radio. We have tubes to make radio work-they came with car. We have blue seat belts not yet installed that come with car. Horn blows, all gauges work, speedometer works, all top components are new and it works fine. Yes original factory clock does work. All chrome is awesome quality. All the stainless is highly polished to show quality. All wiring is new, All nuts and bolts used throughout are new and all new under hood. Looking down the sides of her-she is straight. All stainless is straight.

Driving this car is fun. rebuilt original numbers matching motor and transmission were rebuilt. It starts, runs, and drives as good as any. New carburator and even a new air cleaner. They added the early style Corvette valve covers and as pictures show a high dollar aluminum radiator. If painted black it looks dead on the the original radiator. The engine compartment looks great and ready to be judged at any show.

All the exhaust is new, very quiet. All new exhaust, all new brakes, new bearings, all new bushings and rubber seals have been replaced. Top Notch restoration. I can't think of much that this car needs. Just hit the key and go.

As pictures show the bottom of car was finished out nicely and it also shows off the bright new gas tank. New gas lines, new brake lines, all new hangers and new fittings. I could rattle on and on forever about this beauty but the proof is in the pudding. Try to come to Lawrenceburg IN and check it out. It don't get any better than this. Be the first to enjoy a fresh restoration. If you bid and you are the winner and when you come to claim and you don't like it NOT a problem!!! Don't pay, we could careless. We will still give you good feedback and buy your lunch.

We used this car in a wedding and in order to make this car match the others we put on four new tires mounted on four new American Racing Wheels, neat set up. Some do prefer wide white walls. The w.w.w. tires are nice, Wheels painted harbor blue. Original hub caps have been redone with all new decals.

So it is your choice, you can have the four mags or the four w.w.w. with original 56 hub caps, your CHOICE

If you should decide to do the Buy it Now price we will ship all eight tires and wheels. Then we will absorb the cost of shipping it to you. Not overseas unless you pay shipping. we work through a friend here in town who is a professional shipper. He is bonded and fully insured and hauls all over the country.

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe

Wed, Aug 23 2023

Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.
