Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : perlahorwood@net-c.pl .

Up for sale is a bitchin 59 El Camino – one of a kind. This car has just undergone a 3 year nut and bolt
restoration with tons of time and money invested. There are not a whole lot of 59 El Caminos out there like this
one. If you are in the market for a good example, you need to consider this car. Look at the 24 pics, you will see
that this isn't your average restored 59.
This car was built with long term investment in mind. Nothing has been altered to permanently affect the cars
integrity or originality. Nothing was cut or welded. The car could easily be put back to stock later on down the
road if someone wanted to do so.
This is a very thorough build with everything new, rebuilt, replaced, or restored. Every single clip, screw,
bearing, seal, nut and bolt has been gone through on this car. It was done right and it shows.
The underside of the car was completely detailed and looks great. The frame was striped and painted semi-gloss
black. The floors were coated in 3m Shutz coating. This is a very fine textured coating that holds up very well.
All the suspension and front end parts were either powder coated or shot in base clear.
The car was in Arizona, where it had been most of its life. This was a super solid car to start with and was one
of the best unrestored El Caminos I had ever seen.
These are not easy or cheap cars to restore to this level. They don’t reproduce a lot for them and parts can be
tough to find. There are a ton of man hours into this build.
The paint on the car was professionally done and looks great! It is very slick and has been color sanded and
buffed to a glass finish. All DuPont materials were used. It’s done in a 2014 Corvette red.
Every piece of stainless, aluminum, or chrome was refinished. The one piece bumpers have been replated.
The inside of the bed is beautiful. Lots and Lots of hours went into just the bed alone.
The entire engine compartment was finished with great detail. The firewall is painted body color, as is the
underside of the hood. As you can see everything was painted apart. No painted-over bolt heads, all hardware is
either new or blasted and re-coated original. Lots of time and money spent getting the engine compartment to look
as good as it does.
Everything under the hood is brand new. The motor is a rebuilt 327 that runs very smooth. It has a polished Demon
Carb, billet HEI distributor; Billet Specialties streamline valve covers and air cleaner that were shot in red.
Stainless headers, polished intake, pulleys, wire looms and more. All hoses, wires, and anything else that could
be replaced was.
The tranny is a Muncie 4 speed that shifts nice and functions as it should.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs

Fri, Dec 6 2019

General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021. 

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
