1964 Chevrolet El Camino survivor - 50 years old and still running. I bought this about five years ago with the intent of finishing the bodywork that a prior owner started and cleaning it up a bit for an oldies cruise night cruiser. Too many other projects have gotten in the way, and I've done almost nothing to it.

It originally had a 283 with a four-speed on the floor. The engine was replaced with a later model 350, although the prior owner thought it still had the 283 in it. I haven't crawled under it to check the numbers on the four speed to see if it is original to the car, but it very well could be.

The car spent part of its life in Texas, then moved to Wisconsin before I bought it and moved it to St. Louis. It's been stored indoors for at least the last five years, but as with almost any fifty year old car, there is rust. The prior owner started some body work, and I did do a little work on paint chips. The prior owner told me the sunroof was there when he bought it. It is obviously an older after-market flip-up model. It's been rained on a couple of times and hasn't leaked, but I don't know what might happen in a hard rain.

There is a security system with remotes and a hood lock mounted under the dash. Also under the dash is an AM/FM radio. The original AM is still in the dash, but it appears to be disconnected. I have not tried to see if it might still work. It has factory original bucket seats and still has the spare tire cover over the spare behind the passenger seat.

Lights and gauges seem to all work to some degree. Speedometer does not appear to be accurate at higher speeds, although it does seem to be within reason under 35 MPH. Gas gauge is clearly off, since it never reads over 3/8 full. Turn signals don't always cancel. Wipers work, although it could use new blades.

Tires have plenty of tread, although they are clearly not new. They do not appear to be weather-checked or age-checked, and all four on the ground hold air well. I haven't checked the spare tire pressure, although it does thump solid.

A regular rust problem with this year El Camino is just below the rear window. This car does not show rust problems here, nor do I see signs of prior repairs. Most of the trim is there and good. I have a complete set of letters to be installed on the tailgate.

The car runs decent, although it could be better with a good tuneup. I drive it to one of the local club's monthly cruise night several times a year, and have never had a problem.

This is a good candidate for restoration or a later-model rat rod. Spend the winter working on it and have nice cruiser come spring! Buyer responsible for shipping from St. Louis metro area. I will work with your shipper or help you load on your car hauler trailer. Cash is preferred, but cashier's check will be accepted, although I will hold the title until the check clears. With cash in hand, you will receive clean title and bill of sale at time of payment.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
