I am regretfully selling my beautiful 1935 Chevy pickup truck. I found this truck on the old Chevy Stovebolt website while looking for a neat truck to purchase. If you look on their website you can still see it as Ken Brown's 1935. This truck runs excellent. I am the third owner and have only had it a couple of years. Ken purchased it from the original owner who was in The Dalles Oregon. He kept in the garage for its entire life and only brought it out on occasion for parades. It had a professional paint job sometime in the 1970s. So you can see some flaws in the paint near the cracks. 53K original miles from what Ken told me, and I can believe it from the condition of everything. It has the original in-line 6 cylinder 207 motor. This is a pretty rare year from what I know. They only made around 6K of all models this year (EB). The fenders are perfectly straight and there is hardly any rust color anywhere on this vehicle. The black paint on the fenders has started cracking a bit, but still looks great. It has brand new Coaker tires all the way around, new battery, coil, spark plugs, cap, rotter, and points to make it run like a top. The carburetor was also cleaned. It comes with a new set of wires that someone can put in if they like. Trying to think about the flaws...there are really very very few. One of the brake lights worked when I got it...I replaced the bulbs in both and now they don't work. The headlights work..but I think only on low high beam so they will need to be changed out. There is a crack in the windshield as well as the drivers side door window. It is missing three hubcaps....those can be purchased new online, and I can give you the contact info. It originally did not come with the chevy symbols on the side of the hood. Those came the next year, but were added at some point. They are very classy, but could be removed. It does not have a key, but rather has a on and off switch to bypass the key. Just a small modification that was put in. There is a heater in it, but I don't see any hoses hooked up...that would also be a very easy fix. It comes with the front starter crank bar. Ken said he used to start it that way....but I really don't know how. It comes with the original motor and transmission and it runs great. No smoking. I think its a 4 speed, but I could be mistaken. We are sorry to see it go, but we have to pay for a home remodel and this is a neat luxury item that we just can't keep. Please let me know if you have any questions 208-661-3429 (Call or text).

Weekly Recap: Geneva's splendor reflects growing demand for ultra-luxury cars

Sat, Mar 7 2015

Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
