     This auction is for a 1957 Chevy 4 door Bel Air. It is a good running, fun to drive car that is priced to sell. We traded for this car 3 years ago and it has been sitting in our warehouse until I got challenged to get it on eBay this week.. I am a retired dealer friend of Jim [chargerman6970] and I love the oldies. I also list his vehicles here on eBay.. I sent this car to the shop and they rebuilt the carb and the starter. They also tuned it up and added a hand choke. It already had a new alternator and a new battery.. Now it starts right up the first crank with no smoke or noises.. It has a good clutch and the old school 4 speed transmission works great.. This car does have a new 3.5 gal Moon Eyes aluminum gas tank in the trunk.. There is no original tank and the very bottom of the trunk [floor] is rusty [see pic # 22].. The Moon tank is mounted on a metal plate..

     There is also some rust in the passenger floor areas.. The frame is solid and all of the body mounts are in good shape.[see pic # 23].  The spring hangers are free of rust and the inner quarter panel areas inside the trunk are in excellent condition [see pics]. This car has a different steering wheel but does have the original spare and jack.. It has a rare "radio delete plate" in the dash.. This car has new radials mounted on Corvette rallys wheels.. The trim rings and center caps are included in the auction.[ in the trunk]. I just thought the car looked good without them.. It has new seat covers but the headliner is original. The lower half of the car was painted somewhat recently [maybe 5 years ago] but the upper half of the car has not. Note the patina on the trunk..

      This car is by no means a show winner but a fun, solid ride to your local cruise ins. I drove it to our local ice cream shop today.. The steering and brakes are good on this car but the speedometer does not work.. The wipers work and there is no radio. All of the doors, the hood and trunk all open and shut solidly but some of the door glass has cracks. The engine in this car has a chrome valve cover and a chrome air breather.. Please study the pics and ask questions before you bid.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
