 Nice pearl white 1955 Chevy, 2 door 210.  This car was restored about seven years ago, and basically stored the whole time until I bought it. It has a beautiful red and white, soft, fake leather interior.  The entire interior was redone, including the headliner. It still looks like it was done yesterday, and was definately professionally done, as it is absolutely a beautiful interior. The dash is original, but has a new aftermarket steering wheel, correct for a 55, but just a little smaller than the original.   All glass is in great shape, with just a little fogging on the bottom corners of the windshield. They all roll up and down smoothly.    

 The body was also redone, and painted in nice pearl white. I would rate it a #3 paint job. Although it looks very nice, the painter wasn't as good as the person who did the interior. There has been a little body work done, but is covered well. From 5 feet away it looks flawless, but I don't want to misrepresent the paint job, so I'm stating it is not a professional paint job. I'm no professional judge myself, but the car is extremely straight looking down the sides. There is no rust on the body.  The chrome looks to be original, and in very good condition.  The bumpers also look original, but I may be wrong. They are solid as new, and very nice, but not quite as bright chrome as new.  All doors, trunk, and hood in great shape, and all shut nice and snug.  Rims and tires in excellent condition. 

 This car supposedly has the original 265 V8 engine, rebuilt, and purrs like a kitten. It does have dual exhaust, so sounds really nice. It was originally an automatic car, according to the indicator on the steering column, but it now has a manual Hurst 3 speed on the floor. It runs strong, shifts good, and has a strong clutch. It has a very small 2 barrel carb, maybe even original. I put the big air cleaner on it just to make it look like a 4 barrel. The only fault it has is it"s very cold blooded on cold starts. The choke is not working, so I think that's the problem. Other than that, it needs nothing mechanicaly. It's ready to drive.

 The frame and underside is the ugly part of this car. Although the frame is in good shape, the car has had new drivers floor pans, and they didn't bother to clean up the old metal underneath. The car comes with original drum brakes, front and rear, and no power brakes or steering. It drives very easily, and the brakes work great. I just want you to know it's not updated to disc brakes.  

 Although this is a beautiful car, it does need a little attention. The speedometer does not work, and the turn signal lever is missing from the steering column. It has a new aftermarket radio, but no speakers, so that needs attention also.  I don't know what else I can say about this car. I've tried to be as honest as I can. It's a real beauty, and would win trophies at most local car shows. It's a "turn key' car.  But it's not perfect. I do have it priced accordingly, with what I think is a low reserve.  Forgot to mention, the trunk has been redone very professionally, and looks like new inside.  I can have the car shipped anywhere in the United States very reasonably. If you are overseas, you will be responsible for all shipping costs. I will help every step of the way until the car is at your door.  I require $1,000 deposit immediately after the auction via Pay Pal, and the balance within 7 days. Email me with any questions.Thank you and may God bless you all. Richard     

P.S. Just remembered. Since the speedometer does not work, I have no idea how many miles are actually on the car. The title does say 74,100 actual miles on it, so fix the speedo, which reads 74,128, and there should be no dispute about actual mileage.  The title is clear, and in my name since last November.

CORRECTION: This is NOT a 210 model. It is a 2 door Bel Air hard top. Even says Bel Air on the title. Sorry for the inconvenience, but was thinking of my 1957 Chevy 210, which I will be listing next.   ALSO: I have been getting a lot of emails about the bottom of the car. I tried to add pictures, but 24 is all I'm allowed. The underside is not restored like the rest of the car. The frame is in good shape, it's just the floor pans could have been cleaned up better on the bottom when the car was done. It's very solid. It's just a little dissapointing looking underneath after looking at this beautiful car. Cleaning up the bottom would bring this up to a #2 restored car. Hope this helps. Thanks for all the questions.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
