1957 Chevrolet Convertible Bel Air 2 X 4 on 2040-cars
Wellborn, Florida, United States
|
This car was restored in 1988 at Classic Chevy Club International by Harold Louisiana. This convertible was restored for a customer who showed it two times and then parked it in 1989. It was never started or moved until I bought it in 2013. After purchase, everything was properly done to clean the car and start the engine. I did replace the fuel tank, heater core, radiator, spark plugs and points.
The restoration was done on a rust-free vehicle, no expense spared. It is loaded with NOS options. This is a dual-quad 283, 270 hp car, with a close ratio 3-speed transmission. It has a stainless steel exhaust system. Options include: Continental kit, backup lights, dual rear antennas (one power), electric wipers, deluxe heater, windshield washer, spinner hubcaps, fender skirts with stainless scuff shields, vacuum ash-out, tissue dispenser, Wonderbar radio, compass, dual spotlights, power top, clock, gold license frame, day/night mirror, rear deck trim, courtesy lights, door handle shields, front bumper guards, front rubber tips, and a padded dash. The padded dash is probably one of the best looking and best installed you'll ever find. The Old Cars Price Guide values a Number 1 '57 Convertible at $96,500; adding an additional 25% for dual quad cars brings the book value to $120,600. I figure the NOS options have a value of about $15,000, bringing the potential value of this car to $135,000. My reserve on this convertible is well under that number. This is a great opportunity to purchase a really nice '57 Convertible for less than retail value. Some owners don't like as many options; some people don't like continental kits or fender skirts. So, take them off and sell them. Make the car what you want it to be! I have some hard copy photos of the restoration process, and I have some computer photos before cleanup. I will accept some trade offers but only 55-56-57 Chevy trades. |

Nissan Leaf sells 3,186 in best month ever as Chevy moves 2,511 Volts
Wed, Sep 3 2014The end of summer seems to inspire people to go out and buy a lot of plug-in vehicles. Last year, for example, the Chevy Volt had its best month ever in August, with 3,351 sales. This year, the Nissan Leaf is going up to the winner's podium, setting its own best-ever record with 3,186 units sold. This beats the Leaf's previous record by 69 vehicles. This beats the Leaf's previous record of 3,117 set in May 2014 by 69 vehicles and is up 31.7 percent from August 2013. Nissan is once again quick to remind us that the popular EV's record sales streak has now been extended to 18 months in a row. This record is simply noting that the current month, in this case August, had the highest sales that that month has ever seen in the US. Over all, US Leaf sales are up 34.1 percent so far this year. In a prepared statement, Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said that the Leaf is selling well on both coasts, including cities like Raleigh, Boston and Washington, DC. "It's what we call the 'cul-de-sac phenomenon,' where once someone in a community buys a Leaf, then friends, family, co-workers and neighbors see the benefits of this fun-to-drive electric vehicle firsthand and are sold on the idea of going electric," he said. The Volt also had a good month - its best of 2014 by almost 500 sales – but the 2,511 Volt sales still represent a drop of 25.1 percent from the excellent sales the Volt had this time last year. In fact, August 2014 represents the Volt's best sales month since, well, August 2013. Apparently, there's just something about the end of summer. As always, we are working on our in-depth round-up of green car sales across the country and will have that up soon.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
