1959 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Dalton, Massachusetts, United States
This is a rare, 1959, 290 HP ,fuel injected Corvette that has just undergone a complete, every nut and bolt style
body-off frame restoration following the NCRS judging guideline book and completed June 2015. It was originally
assembled the 2nd week of March 1959 and was just registered by me on 6/21/15 after being off the road for about 20
years! Everything was just rebuilt/ replaced or refurbished. I am not saying that this car is 100% NCRS correct
but is to the best of my knowledge correct. Out of the 9670 Corvettes produced in 1959, only 745 came with the 290
HP FI option making this a very rare car! Not many are left still having the original Fuel Injection and all the
right parts! All drive train components have the correct part numbers and have the proper date coding. I have a
list of everything. Yes, white cars had the name "IVORY" written on the front frame even though it was definitely
WHITE! The body has been completely stripped and has no major repairs evident. Additionally the frame has been
completely sandblasted to bare metal and has no rot or patching repairs ever done to it! The frame has been painted
with epoxy primer inside and out before being painted with Eastwood's chassis black finish coat.

The Chevrolet Bolt is headed to China as a Buick SUV
Thu, Jan 16 2020When spy photos of what appeared to be Chevrolet Bolt EV with some minor front- and rear-end updates circulated last week, Autoblog surmised that GM was working on some sort of Bolt-based vehicle — potentially a crossover — to be sold in China as a Buick. We may just have corroboration for that theory. On Thursday, Motor1.com spotted a story published earlier this week on the Chinese site Auto Home which claims that GM has applied to sell an all-electric SUV under the Velite 7 nameplate in China. There's little differentiating the Velite 7's exterior from the Bolt EV's, apart from bumpers, badges, and a little extra ground clearance. Up front, the bowtie is replaced by a round Buick badge, and the bumper picks up an almost Prius-like appearance thanks to contrasting vertical elements and a thin grille bleeding into the head lights to give it a full-width appearance. Chevy Bolt-based prototype View 16 Photos If the Chinese report is accurate, there is one significant difference under the skin. Per the application, the Buick crossover variant is to be powered by a 174-horsepower electric powertrain. That's down 26 horsepower from the Bolt EV's powertrain, and we can't help but think that a lifted Buick variant might just need every pony it can get. The needs of the Chinese market are unique, and we're certain GM knows what it's doing if these figures are accurate. We have no reason to believe Buick plans to sell the Velite 7 EV here in the States, though we expect an updated Chevy Bolt eventually, and we wouldn't be surprised if Buick brings something along shortly to fill the void left by the departure of the Regal sedan and its variants. Related Video:

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
