 1953 Chevrolet BelAir 2 door sedan roller. garage find

Are  you tired of working on a project with rusty floors, trunk floor, floor braces, rockers, doors etc. then this is the car for you.
This body is as close to rust free as a 60 year old car gets.
The car has been garaged most of it's life.
Original seat covers still in decent shape.

This car is a steal, hard to find this good of a starting point for my low reserve.
Unfortunately an eye injury will delay the build indefinitely, so I have decided to sell.

This was a well optioned car - Powerglide, power steering, tinted glass, deluxe heater, radio, clock, fender skirts, etc.

It's new life could be that of a well optioned updated car.
I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.

The original drivetrain and steering gear have been removed and sold since I was going to build a modified car.
Unfortunately an eye injury will delay the build indefinitely, so I have decided to sell.

The previous owner had started disassembly about 20 yrs ago and primed some of the body (only to preserve it).

New weatherstripping including windshield and backglass rubber, door rubber, trunk rubber, fender antisqueak rubber.
Also included are new window felts, window channel (flexible and rigid) and side glass channel setting rubber.
A complete triple-plated chrome rear bumper and bumper guards is included.
A new wiring harness is included.

The grill and right front fender were damaged many years ago, The new owner can choose to repair or replace these.

The windshield and back glass and the beltline stainless trim is included.
It appears that most of the BelAir stainless around the side windows is included.
Basically there is none of the BelAir side stainless trim.
I was going to weld up these holes for the smooth look.
For a better idea of the stainless included please see the pics.
The front and back glass garnish moldings are inclded.
The front and back glass are included.
All side glass mechanisms work.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included

The Pontiac Rally wheels on the car are not included but are available at extra cost.
The original wheels will be installed which are good enough only to load the car on a trailer.

The original front suspension has been left for rolling around the shop until a Mustang II based front suspension or GM subframe is installed.
The original rear axle has been replaced with a proper width GM 10 bolt posi rear axle.

All loose items will fit inside the trunk and interior for shipping.

Please contact Steve at 205-422-8967 with questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $250 deposit is required within 24 hours.
If you don't want the car when you come to pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my advertising expense.
Many more pics are available if desired.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

Meet the mother-daughter team that's worked on almost every Chevy Volt

Sun, May 11 2014

It's Mother's Day, and we're soft enough we love our mothers enough to share a new video from General Motors with you. In it, we meet Monique Watson (left) and Evetta Osbourne, a mother-daughter team that works at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly where GM makes the Chevy Volt (along with all of GM's other plug-in hybrids: the Opel Ampera, Holden Volt and Cadillac ELR). The two work side-by-side and have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on almost all of those vehicles - nearly 80,000 of them - since GM started making the pre-production Volts in 2009. In a prepared statement, Watson said that she likes working next to her mom, day in and day out, and they the two are totally in sync when it comes to putting the 400-pound, 16.5-kWh packs into the vehicle undersides. They two can also share stories throughout the day, and Watson said, "The arrangement has absolutely improved our relationship." Osborne started working at Detroit-Hamtramck in 1999, Watson since 2006. If you're driving a Volt today, you probably have them to thank for doing a bit of the work putting your car together. See a short video of them in action below. It's Always Mother's Day for Detroit-Hamtramck Duo Mother, daughter install lithium-ion battery pack in nearly all GM electric vehicles 2014-05-08 DETROIT – For Detroit resident Evetta Osborne, every day is Mother's Day. That's because she literally works side by side with her daughter, Monique Watson, at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. They have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on nearly every Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera, Holden Volt, and Cadillac ELR since production began. In fact, apart from vacation days and an occasional sick day, the mother-daughter duo has installed almost every battery pack since the Volt was in pre-production in 2009. The ELR launched earlier this year. All told – including Ampera – that's more than 80,000 electric vehicles. "We're a good team and our relationship is secondary when it comes to performing our jobs – but it's great to work alongside my daughter, said Osborne, a mother of five. Because the battery packs weigh more than 400 pounds each, automatic guided vehicles – robotic carts that use sensors to follow a path through the plant – deliver them just as the vehicle body structures glide into position overhead. The carts then lift the T-shaped packs, and Osborne and Watson guide them into the chassis and secure each one with 24 fasteners.
