Offered for sale is our delightful 1963 1/2 California Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier. This van was produced in small numbers from 1961 to 1965. This particular example has benefited from low, long-term ownership and has always been a Southern California car, residing much of its life in the “Inland Empire” away from coast. It’s a rust-free van that was restored to a very eye-pleasing driver-quality level, and it runs even better than it looks. It’s simply a joy to drive and has plenty of power to spare. It will pass a VW bus on a grade and you can wave a happy “Hawaiian Shaka” to the slow moving snail! It elicits numerous thumbs-up as you cruise this nicely two-toned attention getter! With all but the rear two windows able to be rolled down, the breezes billow throughout the cabin and the visibility is astounding! On the day of the photo shoot, we stopped for a cup of coffee on the Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, the Greenbrier van became immediately swamped by admirers and the questions were flying! Everyone is curious as to the origins of this cool looking coastal cruiser! It truly is a Southern California beach icon. With the drastically rising price values of the quintessential Volkswagen van, discerning buyers are looking at other affordably priced options. Virtually the only other people-carrying van of this era that is rear-engine and air-cooled, it mimicked VW’s finer points but surpassed much of the obsolete design with somewhat radical (for the time) car engineering concepts. The Corvair 95 platform is of “forward control” design, meaning the steering gear was mounted ahead of the front wheels. A raised-deck floor is required to clear the engine. The engine is Corvair’s air-cooled opposed six-cylinder was named “Turbo Air”. It displaces 145 cubic inches and is fed by twin carburetors. With four-wheel independent suspension and weight equally divided between front and rear means that the handling characteristics are superb, loaded or unloaded. Folks, Ralph Nader was wrong---dead wrong oops he is still alive and so is the Corvair's Mechanically, the Chevy van starts right up on first try and purrs along while it drives. The brakes are excellent, but as drum brakes one needs to know that it will not provide disc-brake efficiency. Tires are brand new The restoration was all performed during the last 6 Months so much of the car looks shiny and bright! The new chrome glimmers in the California sunshine, the newly upholstered seats are comfy and the new carpeting adds a nice touch! All of the correct and original emblems are on the car. All of the mechanicals have been dealt with and improved, so rest assured this is a reliable, enjoyable driver! If you desire a clean, original California Corvair van, then look no further than this awesome 1963 1/2 Chevrolet Greenbrier!

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network
Wed, Jan 14 2015Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
