For sale is a very nice unmodified original 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne 2 door sedan. I'm very hesitant to sell this car but I want to put air ride and Fenton speed parts on it and everybody says leave it alone. Here's your chance before I violate it's originality. I had my eye on this car for a couple years and last year I went after it and bought it. The interior seat covers were original and the front had worn through and the front seat foam was starting to break down. I pulled the seats and had brand new stock seat covers put on from CARS INC., I also had the seat foam and burlap replaced front and back. I wanted it to be as comfortable as new again. While apart, new factory style carpet was installed, I replaced the original kick panels with new and a new rear package tray was also put in. Door panels are original and still look pretty nice. The dash is all original and very nice and has it's radio delete plate, the owners manual is still in the glove compt. All gauges look nice and all function, the odometer still works but the speedometer does not, so it's something in the head. Mileage is listed as original on the title from the DMV in Indiana and from the overall wear I'd say it is. Every other thing on the car works, steering wheel, pedals and all trim looks very clean, car definitely appears to have been very well cared for and preserved since new, and must have been kept out of the elements. All wiring is original and never been cut or cobbled. All weatherstripping appears original and still soft, door jambs still have original paint as does the trunk and is still very clean. Original horn sounds like a freight train coming and you can scare the bjesus out of someone. Master cylinder was just rebuilt and all brakes were gone through, bearings packed and all new brake hoses within last hand full of years. Clutch works perfectly and trans shifts like new, car drives like it did back in 1958. The 235 Six cylinder runs very nice and has automatic choke and fires right to life up on fast idle when cold. All sheet metal appears original, inner and outer rockers and trunk pan are very solid, floors have had a couple small patches welded in at some point and didn't appear to need any more than that. All exterior sheet metal is very nice, slight amount of work done above the headlights was done back when car was repainted but must have been very minor pitting, no evidence of work when looking from inside the fenders at the back of the headlights. That was probably 15-20 years ago and there is very small bubbling in that area only. Paint presents itself nicely for a couple decades old with no fading but does has some minor touch up here and there. It's no longer show paint but is very nice driver quality. Still has one original T3 headlight. Under hood is very clean, firewall has original paint, underside of hood was sanded and repainted back when and still looks new. Trunk is all original and clean, minimal surface rust under original trunk mat, underside of deck lid clean and still has spare tire instructions on it, jack and all hardware is there with newer radial spare. Original wheels with radial tires make the car drive great and I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere. Front bumper section is faded but the rest is nice and the car is overall very clean, and has always been well maintained. It also comes with matching fender skirts but that's not my style. The Airstream in the photo's is not for sale and is not hooked up to the car, I just wanted it in the picture. I really, really hate to give this car up, I was born in 58 and I'm a Chevy guy. I'll probably never be able to afford one in my price range again, I just have too many toys, I'm getting older and need to simplify my life a little. Indiana title is clear.You are welcome to come look at the car before auction ends. Please do not bid if you have less than 10 transactions and 100% positive feedback or I will cancel your bid. Sorry, just been burned a few times over the years and it's cost me plenty. I've tried to describe everything as accurately as possible, I will update if I've forgotten anything. Please ask questions if you feel the need. There are no guarantees on this 55 year old car. Auction can end at any time, I prefer cash. Good luck and thanks for looking!

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
