This is a beautiful 1956 4-door Bel Air.  The car was purchased new in 1956 and has never left the family!  It was passed from generation to generation and has been meticulously cared for.  The car went through a frame off restoration 15 years ago and has been updated and modernized.  Since the restoration, it was a daily driver for four years and has waited covered in a garage until now.  Only taken out for cruise-ins and beautiful days in the past 10 years, there are fewer than 5000 miles on the restoration!

A brand new 350ci motor was installed and upgraded with 64cc Edelbrock aluminum heads and Edelbrock aluminum intake.  It has a Performer RPM cam, roller rockers, electronic ignition, and dual exhaust with Cherry Bomb mufflers.  All new stainless fuel lines feed a 650 Holley carb.  Backing that new motor is a classic 3-speed with column shifter.  A limited slip differential gets the power to the pavement.  The sound of this thing rolling off idle and climbing the revs is just hypnotizing.  Idling through a parking lot with that rumble causes heads to turn and thumbs-up to appear all around.  

During the restoration, the body was professionally blasted and stripped before being brought back to this incredible black finish.  All chrome was replaced or refinished.  All the body gaskets and bumpers have been replaced.  The floor pan and rocker panels were replaced while the hood and fenders were professionally repaired.  The interior has new carpet, new door panels, new headliner and has been upgraded with front 3-point seat belts.  The dash clock was professionally repaired and the radio is aftermarket with 10 disc changer.  There are new kick-panel speakers with buttons for the power door locks.

The front end was rebuilt with new polyurethane bushings and has been upgraded to disc brakes.  There is a new dual master cylinder with new stainless brake lines and proportioning valve.  The rear brakes were rebuilt with new wheel cylinders.  A 100A alternator and Vintage Air A/C round out the under-the-hood package.  New leaf springs and front and rear anti-sway bars improve the ride on this classic automobile.  

This vehicle is a family car that has been loved, maintained, and restored by the same family.  Two generations have grown up with this car and brought it to the current state.  If you're looking for a show-queen, this isn't the car for you.  This car carried us to school and work and has been in a garage for more than a decade since its restoration.  It has been a great father/son project and now it is available for you to add its next chapter.  The body looks great with a few small cracks and defects in the paint (shown in photo).  We want you to know that you are getting an unbelievably solid and uniquely upgraded car that isn't show car perfect.  The time has come for someone new to enjoy the vehicle so don't miss out on this incredible opportunity!                                Please email any questions to AJ at cooperlabs@gmail.com or you can reach me by phone at 202.596.5238

Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S-Class and more

Thu, Sep 9 2021

This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Genesis G70 2022 Genesis G70 View 26 Photos Quick take: Genesis hits all the right buttons with its G70. It's attractive, fun to drive and can be had for a fair price. Enthusiasts should give it a shot before taking home one of its German competitors. Score: 8 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus IS, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S60 Pros: Sharp handler, stunning exterior looks, strong engines Cons: Average interior, loses manual option, small backseat and trunk From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "I was already a big fan of the Genesis G70. It has brilliant handling, and the twin-turbo V6 is a beast. It's even a bargain against the competition. And Genesis just made it look a lot better. I wish they'd done a bit more to update the interior, but it's still not a bad cabin. Besides, you won't think too much about it when you're hustling down a fun back road." Features Editor James Riswick — "Yes, it is small, but in a sport sedan segment where "sport" means increasingly less, the G70 still delivers (in part because of that smallness).

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
