1952 Chevrolet Suburban on 2040-cars
Buffalo, New York, United States
I've had a lot of interest in my Suburban.
This seems to be a favorite usable collectible with many people.....everyone has a story or a memory....
I've been really firm on my price.......but I know in my heart that I must let her go.
Your offers need to come up a little for me to accept....give it some consideration.
Beautifully restored 1952 Chevy Suburban originally from Southern California…..a surf wagon….seats 8
passengers……period correct Tucson Tan paint.
Rear clam shell tailgate.
The original 216 ci babbitt motor was upgraded with a late 50s full presure 235 ci straight 6 chevy motor (Chevy's
improvement over the legendary 216). Has a 4 speed transmission on the floor, with granny gear, and a later 50s
rear axle (highway ratio) with an open driveshaft….the torque tube is gone!!! and so are the torque tube problems
(such as leaks & difficulty changing rear end gears to more favorable highway gears). 12 volt alternator. She
drives out very easy & cruises the highway nicely. The clutch engages smoothly and brakes are in correct excellent
shape. The suspension is stock and springs and shocks work nicely together, providing an exceptional smooth ride
(this is the best Advance Design Chevy Truck I've ever driven) and I've had many during my 40 years of car
collecting.
The paint is driver quality and it has a nice finish. The chrome is excellent. Glass is all good….new rubber
seals everywhere. Has a rare & expensive front grill bumper guard. Lots of other accessories approximately $4K in
accessories alone.
The interior is beautiful with ALL 3 rows of seats. New headliner. Carpet over original wooden floor. I moved
the front seat back a few inches to make it more comfortable for me to drive….I'm 6'4'', it can be put back to
its original position in a half an hour. Lots of accessories….Premium Grill Guard, Special Chevrolet Steering
Wheel, Dash Fan, Windshield Washer Bottle, Stainless Strips on all Fenders, Fog Lights, Turn Signals with
correct rear lights and Dual Exhaust.
I think it was restored in So. Cal. in the early 2000s. The only flaws are two dime size bubbles on the right side
fenders..no rust, paint just didn't adhere properly…no change in 6 years….never bothered me enough to fix them.
There is a slight rear seal oil leak…I attached a unique catch basin so no oil spots on the floor…..I drain
the catch basin only when I'm changing the engine's oil & filter.
This truck needs nothing but to wash, wax, drive & enjoy.
Inspections are welcomed & encouraged. I'm an old car guy that has enjoyed old cars for 40 years. When I buy a
car, I check it out very closely. It's for me to use & enjoy. I have never bought a vehicle to flip. I'm going
to be relocating and I'm downsizing my collection.

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models
Fri, Jan 30 2015While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
