1957 CHEVROLET! TONS OF WORK ALREADY COMPLETED! FRESHLY REBUILT 454, 700R TRANSMISSION, NEWLY UPHOLSTERED SEATS, FOUR WHEEL DISC BRAKES, RECHROMED BUMPER (mid section), BELAIR DASH, BRAND NEW SET OF 17" CUSTOM WHEELS AND TIRES! VERY COMPLETE & READY TO BE FINISHED! BE READY FOR SPRING CRUISING! Here it is, your early Christmas present! This 1957 Chevy has had a tremendous amount of work done to it. It is very complete and comes with a whole lot of goodies. In my opinion, there is no better way to buy them than when they are at this point. Right after someone gets ambitious and spends all of the money on the vital aspects (big ticket items) and then sells it off at a fraction of what they have in to it. So if you're looking for a steal, this is it. Body: The external sheet metal on the Chevy is actually very solid. The rear sill, cowl, trunk lid, hood, roof, fenders, top sides of the quarters, doors, everything is very solid. The rockers along with a couple of minor spots within the quarters are about the only spots that will require some attention. They are not terrible and I definitely would not go to the extent of replacing them. With a little sheet metal work, they would be good to go. The firewall in these Tri-Fives have to be modified in order to fit a big block which was done on this 57. So the mid section of the firewall still needs replaced. The floors as well as the trunk will also need replaced. The frame underneath the Chevy is solid. The previous owner was working to do away with the side moldings/trim but he got as far as sealing up the passenger side and that was it. With that, the side trim is about the only trim that I am missing. The remaining trim does come with the car. The bumpers are in relatively good shape. The previous owner sent off the mid sections of the front bumper and had them rechromed. Those pieces are still packaged up and are in excellent shape. The 454 that is within the Chevy was mounted up professionally as you will see within the photos located below. All of the glass (with the exception of the drivers side door and passenger side door glass) is in good shape. The 17" wheels and tires that are on the Chevy are brand new. I had purchased them for another vehicle and they have roughly about ten miles on them. They are wrapped in brand new Nitto tires. They've been mounted and balanced. I have about $1,800 invested in them and I will make a considerable adjustment in price if someone decides that they would rather not have them. Engine & Mechanical: The 454 that is within the Chevy has been completely rebuilt. I do have a four barrel carburetor that goes with the Chevy but unfortunately I did not have it on hand to take photos of it. The 700R transmission was also in excellent working order when it was pulled. The Chevy has front disc brakes and included with the sale, I will be giving a ten bolt posi rear end with a disc brake setup on it. This is out of an early 90's Z28 and has been measured to insure that it will fit. Interior: The front buckets and back seat have both been refoamed and reupholstered. They were done professionally to the tune of about 2k dollars. The Chevy also has a Belair dash which is installed. The door panels within the Chevy are in decent shape. So here is that rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable Chevrolets that were ever manufactured. Much of the heavy work has been completed and with nearly 20k invested, someone is going to get a phenomenal deal while getting a huge head start. I can't see this Chevy taking more than thirty days to complete. So reward yourself this Christmas and get ready to REALLY enjoy Spring! I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Chevy early as we do have it for sale "locally". My goal here is to sell the Chevy. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this 57. As always, good luck and happy bidding! Thanks, Shawn (816) 308-0351 I also have several other highly collectible automobiles on eBay right now! Please feel free to check them out by clicking here! Thank you!

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
