Here's an unique opportunity to own a "pre-production" unique pickup produced by Chevrolet from 2003 to 2006. This vehicle was the 15th of 25 SSR's produced prior to vehicle production to introduce the model and to tour around the country at races and special events. #15 toured with the legendary blues singer Taj Majal and was shown at concert venues during the summer of 2003. Unlike several other Signature Series trucks, this is a two owner vehicle and comes with the complete package of memorabilia that was part of this unique group of automobiles. Included in the sale is a brushed stainless steel book detailing the production and history of the unique trucks along with information on the two designers that signed the waterfall between to two seats. Additionally, the book includes memorabilia from the concert tour, tickets and programs from the 2003 Indianapolis 500 (where the truck appeared), Taj Mahal CD's (2), signed tee shirts (2) and hat and the original window sticker. Also, a large graphic "cut out" design depiction of the SSR drive train that has been framed is also included in the sale. Another unique part of the memorabilia is a three ring binder for the original vehicle manual that is unique to the first vehicles produced. Special to the Signature Series is the unique Ultra Violet color, matching air inlet cover on the engine, wood and carpet installed in the truck body and special placarding and seat piping and lettering on the interior. This vehicle has been garage kept and covered since purchase and the mileage indicated was put on the vehicle driving it from Dayton, OH after purchase and to car shows around the country.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
