This is truly one of the finest 57s around. I owned one two years ago that cost over 125k to build and made the cover of cruisin style mag. and was featured in the feb 2010 issue and this cars puts it to shame. Not that good with a compter, I dont know how to do all the color line items and all the fancy stuff people do with them so this will be plain and simple and Iam sure I will forget a lot of stuff that the car has on it. I will start by saying I reserve the right to end the auction early as I will be putting a sign on it this weekend and may sell it locally. According to the man who built it it was a factory PB,PS,power antenna, factory air and padded dash car.It was finished in 2008 and has 1800 miles on it since build. It had never been washed unit I bought it, its just that kind of car. The bottom of the car looks like the top. This car was like new before the ever started the build but thet wanted something special. This car was dipped in Jackson ms. but not your normal acid dip. The process on the car is called an It electro-alkaline dip. This this the straightest 57 I have ever seen and I have owned a lot of them(17) I dont know if Iam crazy or stupid but the number is true and I have seen hundreds more.All the stainless trim except for a couple pieces and bumpers are supposed to be orginal. Starting with the engine its a tune port injected 350 out of a 89 corvette (22mpg) with alum. heads and late model manifolds. It has a built 700 R-4 with a later model GM Dana positraction with low 3 some gears, I think its a 308. It has 4 wheel power disc brakes. Has a huge Griffin with dual fan cooling system, battery is mounted in the trunk. It has front and rear sway bars, all stock new suspension. The interior is done in a fawn colored glove leather. I has never felt leather this soft. All the inside window trim and upper arm rest is all done in leather. The car has an Ididit column,vitage air which run throught the console to the rear, padded dash,power antenna, power windows,raingear wiper system with squirters, column shifter, radio is a piece of junk but it plays (cassette). I,am having trouble loading pictures to if you need to see more email hookhorn@msn.com . Trunk is aslo done in leather. This is a car you can drive across country. it is not a hot rod but dones run strong for what it is. Thanks for looking , please dont ask for resverve but you can make an offer. You may come and inspect and drive the car or send an appraisier at any time with a days notice.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
