Wife says my 59 Impala must go! Bought it with the idea of making it a fun family cruiser but it turned out to be more than I can handle. The good: it is an original California car which means the frame is a little stouter and you get the solid one piece bumpers. Best I can tell the 59 Chevy X frame is solid. The bumpers are very good and probably worth more than the starting price of my auction. It has an original 283 small block dated 1959 and I have no reason to believe it has ever been out of the car. Appears to be the original cast iron 2 speed powerglide transmission. Most of the trim is there and being stainless, it's in good shape-especially around the windows. Most of the glass is good with the exception on the windshield which has a crack. The doors shut very solidly. Doors, door handles are pretty solid and some of the sheetmetal appears ok. The bad: the trunk, one rear floor pan and one front floor pan are gone and will need to be replaced. I had intended to replace the floors but its more than I want to tackle. A lot of body rust in the rear quarters and trunk. The radiator and some of the parts under the hood are not there so I never actually turned it over to see if it would start. I found a bunch of receipts that show engine tune ups and brake work so I know it ran about 10 years ago! I painted the valve covers when I thought i might use them on another car. It has the deluxe heater for 59 vs the two lever version and all parts appear to be there for the heater. I never had a battery in it so cant be sure what works and what doesn't. The dash gauge clusters are missing as well. Easy enough to locate on ebay (in fact I saw the complete set and correct color on there today). Will need complete interior but all seats are there and appear to still have original torn covers from '59. In parts alone its probably worth twice my starting bid but I don't have the time or energy to strip it and I still think it would make a cool cruiser or rat rod. Buyer must arrange for pick up and I'm certainly willing to help load her up. Thanks and good luck.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
