Step back into 1987 and go down to the local Chevy dealership and pick out this Yellow Beige Caprice Classic Brougham. That is what it feels like you are doing when you see this car. This GM classic is an absolute TIME CAPSULE! It is a 2 owner North Carolina car its entire life. Garaged, preserved, and pampered! Let me tell you the story about this beautiful Caprice. I am a diehard Cadillac fanatic, with a passion for the full sized Fleetwood Broughams and Eldorado's. Owning a few classics, I can appreciate this low mileage Caprice. My relationship with this car began about a month ago. I was traveling from Massachusetts delivering a vehicle my sister (who lives in NC) purchased from me. (I am a car dealer by day) I planned to drive down, and rent a cheap car and drive home. Planned being the key word. Before the trip started I found out this Caprice was just traded in at Bob Murray Chevy in Raleigh NC for a new Chevy, and was going to wholesale auction with all the other dealer trades. While I was down in NC I attended this dealer only auction, to check this dream machine out. It was like a rose in a garden of weeds, waiting to be plucked, taken home and cared for just as the first two owners have done. Since you are reading this, you know I couldn't resist. I purchased it, and drove it home to Massachusetts almost 800 miles! All trouble free driving, smooth, strong and comfortable! She ran like a top!! And got almost 24MPG!! Well since I have a 2 car garage, and have to rent space for my other cars, as soon as my soon to be wife saw this one she said "It or me!" So here we are. I need to find this sweetheart a new home. (the car, not my fiance) This Caprice would make a car guy like me a great Sunday cruiser, collectors car, or investment. The car starts, runs, drives like new. It looks amazing in its rare color combination, and is LOADED with options! They include

This car was delivered new by Dunlap-Johnson Chevrolet Company in York SC. It was owned by its first owner up until 2005 with 28k accumulated miles in High Point NC. It was then owned by the last owner, from 05 until traded at Bobby Murray Chevy this Feburary with 46k miles. I purchased this car under my dealership, and the new owner will be the 3rd owner. I have a clean and clear North Carolina title. The car comes with 2 original GM sets of keys, factory floor mats (great shape), owners manual, wire wheel lock key, and the orignal window sticker. It is completely rust free! The pictures will tell the story. No rust under door edges, trunk edges or on the chassis. The vinyl top is crisp and soft, and still retains its true color, showing it has been garaged. The chrome and bright work is just that, BRIGHT. The seats and carpets still have that thick pile to them. I do not believe they have ever been shampooed. There are some minor defects I will list. Power antenna stoped working when I shut it off after my 800 mile trip. It worked fine before. It is in the up position. some light stone chips on the mirrors (pictured), small crack in dash pad on the drivers side top corner point (under 1 inch, see photos), silver trim in the horn pad has a small section missing (see photos), some paint wearing off the dash under the radio and on the shifter column band (see photos), some small pits in the top face of the rear bumper. Not rust, just little dots in the chrome. Tires are a matched set of Michelin's with 80% tread, they are older tires and have some dry cracking in the tread. This did not concern me driving 800 miles home. I replaced the 10 year old battery with a brand new one. Radiator hoses look newer. This was a non smokers car. The defects I listed are me being over critical. This is a used car, a 1987 model year. Check out the photos, I took close to 140 pictures, including the undercarriage. Any questions feel free to email me, or you can call me. Anthony, at 978-930-1004. Please keep in mind I am in the EASTERN time zone. I will not like you much if you call me at 1 am, please keep calls from 8am-10pm EST. The car will be selling to the highest bidder, no reserve. I do not have a set price in mind. A $500 deposit via paypal within 48 hours, remaining Payment to be cash in person, or wire transfer. Car will not leave until payment is clear. I will export this car, and help in any transport to do so (Paid for by you). I will also help arrange shipping within the USA. If you want to fly in, and take another road trip in this car, I will pick you up at Boston Logan Int air port and get you on the road. Massachusetts does NOT issue temp plates, 20 day plates, or any other plate to put on the car to drive it home to wherever you may live. You must bring some sort of plate with you if you plan on driving home. The mileage may increase slightly as we welcome test drives. Dont make the same mistake I did, make sure the wife will allow you to have this car, make sure the bank you keep your money in has the funds to pay for it too! No reserve, last bidder wins! The car is located in Billerica MA, and has only been here for a few weeks. The car has not been driven to preserve its salt free history.

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

CarCharging has raised $6 million from shareholders and has restructured to save cash. The EV charging company plans to expand further in 2015 - with an eye toward achieving profitability - in part by investing in technology and "unlocking the value of our significant equipment inventory," says CarCharging CEO Michael D. Farkas. The group expects to reduce administrative costs by 40 percent, and has hired an interim Chief Financial Officer to help carry out its plans for growth. CarCharging raised the cash through offering convertible preferred stock to its shareholders, whom Farkas thanked "for their passion and patience." Read more in the press release below. Rydell Chevrolet in Los Angeles is offering Chevrolet Volt leases for $149 per month.

Rydell Chevrolet will ship the car anywhere in the lower 48 states. It also appears they offer cupcakes. See Rydell's video below, or read more at Inside EVs. Tesla will upgrade the Model S P85D with higher performance and top speed.

The update will be available for the lifetime of the car, which includes subsequent owners. Read more at Green Car Reports.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
