     This is a nice, low mileage '53 Chevrolet.  It only has 63k original miles on it and is in excellent overall condition.  The car runs, drives, and looks very good.  The body is straight and virtually rust free.  All original body panels with nice floors, trunk, frame, rockers, spare tire well etc.  This is NO Bondo buggy and the nice body is one of the main reasons I bought it.  It has had only one repaint and is still it's orginal color.  Paint is older (@ 1980) but still shows/shines very nice with some here and there touched up chips etc.  Interior is stock and is nice and clean.  To my knowledge, everything on the car works- including lights, turn signals, gauges, wipers, horn, radio, and heater (not sure about the clock).  I added a set of (4) new seatbelts with the old style chrome airplane latches.  The drivetrain is original to the car and in good working order.  The motor is the factory 235 c.i. 6 cyl and the transmission is the original 3 speed manual.  It runs and drives excellent.  It will get in the mid to upper teens for gas mileage and I drive it quite regularly, probably 3 or 4 times a wk.  It always starts right up, runs cool, holds good oil pressure etc.  It is dependable enough to be your daily driver if you want.  Like I said, I drive it alot and am not afraid to go anywhere in it.  Brakes and full exhaust have been re-done not too long ago.  All glass is in good shape with no cracks.  The windows roll up and down normally and it has a factory Fulton visor.  I added a few teeth to the grill, including a gold one.  It is sublte and I love the look but it/they are easily removed if not to the new owner's taste.  Tires are wide white wall bias plys with probably 80%+ tread left.  I bought the car with plans to cut it up into a custom but have decided against the project.  I planned to have the top chopped, suspension drastically lowered via modified Mustang II, and to swap the original drivetrain to a tri-power 348 w/ auto transmission.  I have been driving the car stock for the last year or so and realized that this one is just too nice to take all apart and cut up.  It is too cool like it is.  I usually have hot rods that are so drastic they are nearly undriveable, but this one has been fun being able to use it as a normal car.  It seats 4 comfortably, doesn't bottom out or scrape therefore you can go anywhere, has a big trunk, doesn't guzzle gas, is dependable and just fun to drive.  I am selling to buy a 50-52 Cadillac coupe and basically cut it up...   I can answer most any question you have on the car so please don't be shy.  The car comes with a clear Ky title in my name with current insurance and registration.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award

Tue, Nov 17 2015

It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
