1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air Convertible project This is a real 1956 convertible, not a recreation. I have a clear Indiana Title for the car in my name along with the VIN Tag and Cowl Tag. Style No. 56-1067DTX Body No. L21415 Trim No. 605 (Red / Ivory) Paint No. 711 (India Ivory / Matador Red) I was building this car to be a Pro-Touring car, but the shop I had it at has closed….. so it’s time to cut my losses and move forward. As I said above, the car was being built as a Pro Touring 1956 Bel-Air, so I do not have the original frame or motor for the car. I had a custom chassis made by Street Rod Garage in Grant, Alabama http://www.streetrodgarage.com/srg-force555657chevychasisbuilderspackage.aspx This car is not a roller at this time. The chassis is bare bones right now, but it still cost over $5,000 to hand-build. There is also no interior or engine with the car, so you can choose your own. When I bought the car it had some really poor bodywork done, so I decided rather than patch every panel I cut everything off from the cowl back and that way I would know that I have solid metal. I ordered over $14,000 of metal from Cars Inc. (I still have the receipts). Everything from the cowl/dashboard back is brand new from Cars Inc./Harmon’s. The only parts that are installed are the floors, doors, mini-tubs, and a few braces. Everything else is primed and ready to be positioned and welded. The front fenders are original and need the lower quarters repaired (which I also have the patches). The hood is original and in excellent shape and already primed. The brand new convertible doors have shaved door handles and they have already been body-worked as well. The rear deck lid is also shaved, body-worked, and primed. The cowl has been smoothed and body-worked along with the dash. I also have the original convertible top frame which is in very good condition and painted black. I have lots of parts that go with the car, so please look through all of the pictures: Weather-stripping package still in the box, some stainless is brand new as you can see in the pics, qtr molding brand new in the box, most or all of the stainless is there, windshield, gauge cluster, quarter windows, heater box, etc.... The car is located in Crown Point, IN Please let me know if you would like to come out and look at the car and all the parts I have for it.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]
Wed, Dec 3 2014The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners. Scroll down for video commentary from General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Loh and a clip of the Golden Calipers being handed over. Also, check out GM's full press release on its big win.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
