This is a 1955 Chevrolet Delray with all its original sheet metal born to the car in 1955, Original Fenders, Doors,Quarters,Trunk,Frame,Floors and even Rockers!   original 1955 Glass all the way around! All the Chrome and Stainless has to be from when it left the factory! Moving to the interior, every piece with the exception of the seat covers is 1955 Factory.  This is a V code Vin number meaning it was always born with Chevrolet's new hot one the small block V8! 

Southern Car built in Atlanta solid and straight! you would have to search pretty hard to get one with only 91,700 miles . Sometime in the late 1970s it received its first Paint Job! Thats right this car has had one repaint in its 57 years! The car was painted in its original color of Neptune Green using at that time Centari Enamel, now 34 years later this paint has settled into the most wonderful shade of Green, A Patina you now would have a heck of a time duplicating, It screams 1950's. its not the real Dark Neptune Green anymore its faded into more Turquoise, The Paint just fits the car and visa versa. As we continue with its history there are old Stewart Warner Gauges cut professional in the dash along with a Stewart Warner older Tach, I do not know when this was done but they look great and are very old units that can not be replaced, I know I had to replace the temperature gauge and I still kept the old unit to repair at sometime . People look just to collect these vintage gauges!  

Chevrolet 400 Small Block and Double Hump Heads, rebuild it with new components and balance it in the process, ad a lt1 cam and a very rare old school gm dual point distributor . remove the three speed and tastefully ad a 4 speed muncie with special made Hurst Shifter for 1955 bench seat, remove the 3 speed collar and ad a special made smooth collar to make it look like it could of came from GM that way. Ad a 409 1964 P Case 4:11 rear end, Top everything off with a old school polished Offenhauser intake along with 3 rebuilt Rochester Carbs by a Specialty Hot Rod Shop in Southern California, Correct with Custom Linkage and Custom Fuel lines all neat and tidy! No Mickey Mouse stuff here. This car Screams Nostalgia!  Oh for safety I had all the wiring redone, all new Wire Harness's there are somethings you just don't want to leave old, ditto to brakes ! All redone!
 
If your loooking for a repaired rusty 55 with after market import sheet metal and after market import chrome cover with base coat clear coat paint please move on, if you want a honest 55 thats got all its original Metal , Interior and Chrome then this is a good one. 

A very good looking great running great driving time piece. There really is too much to list. Please check my feedback I have been here before and sold many cars for friends as well as some of my own. This is my car and it has a private party title in my name.

 
I might trade for something tasteful, I do not want anything pro-street , tubbed, caged, well you get the idea. I like quality pieces tastefully done, . Hope you enjoy looking at this 55, it deserves to be with somebody who appreciates what she is and how she got here.

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season

Wed, Jul 30 2014

Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios. "Forza Horizon 2" NAPA® Chassis Car Pack Now Available The roads and countryside of "Forza Horizon 2" beg for you to leave your mark on them. The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One has arrived, bringing five amazing new cars to blaze trails, break records, or just enjoy a casual cruise in. First off, the new McLaren 650S Coupe's uncanny acceleration and preposterous top speed will satisfy the elitist in you. If you want get away from it all, there's no better way than in the Supercharged Land Rover. Need muscle? Take the classic form of the Buick GSX or the later model Monte Carlo SS for a spin. We all need more wagon in our lives and the Audi RS6 is ready to run around town or serve up surprises at the track.
