1955 Bel Air Convertible - Rare Continental Kit With Skirts - This Bel Air Convertible has been in a barn for many years. Has it's 265 2 barrel V8 with a manual 3 speed on the column. The Bel Air will start up and run and it moves and the brakes work too, but you will need to go through it from sitting. 

The Bel Air is Two Tone Red and White, it has very old paint and looks to be in fair shape, it still has the dirt on the Bel Air from sitting in the barn, never cleaned it but I think if you give it a good wash, buff and wax job it wouldn't look to bad. The body looks fairly straight, has some chips and scratches and some small bubbles and like I said old paint.

The Bel Air X frame doesn't look to bad, it is scally in places on the frame and some of the frame supports may need to be replaced or fixed. Some of the floors are scally and rusty with holes, it looks like many years ago they did do some patch work on some of the floors. To make the Bel Air right, you will need to replace some of the floors or patch them and some of the frame braces and supports too, or you can still drive it the way it is now, your choice. Inside the trunk the floor doesn't look to bad. You can see all this in the detailed pictures.

The Bel Air interior is Two Tone Red and White and is in pretty fair shape for it's age, still has the original radio and clock and the rest of the interior looks pretty original. If you cleaned it up it would look pretty good for a old age interior. The White Top doesn't look to bad, it just needs a good cleaning, I have the Red Convertible boot that comes with the car too. It does have a power top and the power top motor works but I never tried to put the top down.

The chrome and stainless is in pretty fair shape, the front bumper will need to be Rechromed because the chrome is peeling off.

This old 1955 Bel Air Convertible Barn Find is Pretty complete and it runs and has the very Rare Continental Kit With Skirts. Extremely popular collectible to fix up.

I have a clean Title in Hand.

I described this Bel Air Convertible to the best of my Knowledge.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?

Sat, Mar 7 2015

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
