Ready to Cruise


Being offered is a nice 1956 Chevrolet that is ready to jump into and cruise. This is a car that has lines that are timeless and is appreciated by everyone who looks at it.  Take yourself back to a time when life was simpler and cars had style to spare.  The car is driver quality, although this car is not likely to win a car show it is very presentable  and is mechanically complete and ready to cruise. This is a turn key car and one of the most desirable Chevrolet’s ever produced.  This is one of those opportunities to own a vehicle and not lose any money.  Take a look at our feedback and buy with no worries.  As always we encourage pre-bid inspections and phone calls if you have any questions.

 

Interior Highlights


The interior of this vehicle is in great shape as can be seen in the pictures.  The black vinyl interior is set off by the awesome dash and the oodles of chrome that we don't see in the cars of today.  The dash is in great shape with bright hardware and a full compliment of original gauges.  The interior of the car is full of timeless accessories and hardware that are all in great shape and really add to the classic feel of this vehicle.  The vehicle is equipped with a radio.  The pictures tell the rest of the story, the interior is only one highlight of this vehicle.


Exterior Highlights

  

The exterior of the car is finished in very sharp burgundy paint, body was stripped to the metal prior to painting and a base coat clear coat finish was applied. We would consider the paint somewhere between driver quality and show quality.  The paint is set off by the body lines of one of the most desirable chevrolets ever built as well as the numerous painted or chrome details that really set the car off.  The body of the car is very straight and the fit on the car is very good. the doors open and close without issues. The exterior has the awesome body lines that are from a time when cars had style and flare.  The vehicle is equipped with one piece california style painted bumpers that are in great shape. The vehicle is equipped with rally wheels with good tires.  All exterior hardware is in tact and for the most part in very nice shape, there is some pitting on the door handles, light bezels, and front grill. The vehicle has new hood and trunk emblems.  The stainless on the car is in very good shape.  The glass on the car is in great shape, the rear window has some scratches in it but is not cracked.  The car, as the pictures indicate, is stunning to look and is a real head turner.


Mechanical Highlights

This vehicle is equipped with a 327 small block chevrolet engine with an M20 4-speed muncie transmission.  The vehicle starts, runs, drives, and stops as it should.  The car has a nice vintage hot rod sound and is a very good driver. The vehicle has new 2 1/2” exhaust with flow master style exhaust, the car sounds great.  This is a car you can buy and get immediate satisfaction out of as it is ready to go, this is an ideal cruise in car and would be fine to take to shows but not likely a show winner but something you could be very proud of.


The odometer reads 62,389 miles, the title reads exceeds mechanical limits.

A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes

Wed, Feb 19 2014

There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.

GM invests $175 million in Chevy Camaro factory

Thu, May 28 2015

General Motors just keeps rolling out portions of its $5.4-billion plan for factory upgrades over the next three years. In the latest announcement, the automotive giant is putting $175 million into the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant for improvements to build the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. The investment brings new equipment to the plant to build the pony car. An upgrade is needed to support Camaro-specific colors like Summit White, Bright Yellow, and Red Hot, and the factory is also getting two robotic framers. A second shift of 500 workers is resuming in Lansing later this summer to produce the model, as well. So far, GM has announced allocations for $2.8 billion of the $5.4 billion in upgrades. The investments include $1.2 billion to improve pickup production, $439 million for a paint shop for the Corvette, and more new equipment at other plants too. Lansing Grand River Plant Tools Up for 2016 Camaro $175 million investment enables production of lighter, more powerful model 2015-05-28 LANSING, Mich. – A $175 million investment for new tooling and equipment for the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, and the return of hundreds of workers to build America's best-selling performance car for the last five years, was announced today. The facility improvements include three new paint systems for Camaro-specific colors: Summit White, Bright Yellow, and Red Hot. The investment also includes installation of two robotic framers, which allow better dimensional control to provide a more precise drive experience. The Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant will resume a second shift of 500 jobs in late summer. The all-new Chevrolet Camaro was introduced on Detroit's Belle Isle on May 16. The current generation Camaro has been America's favorite performance car for five consecutive years, attracting both long-term Camaro fans and new buyers to Chevrolet. To improve on that success, the sixth-generation Camaro elevates every aspect of Camaro with a suite of new technologies, even higher levels of performance and fuel economy, and a leaner, more athletic design. "I may be the luckiest mayor in America today," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero. "Gearing up for full-scale production of the legendary Chevy Camaro is a new high point in the more than two decades of extraordinary partnership between the City of Lansing, General Motors and the UAW.

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt

Thu, Feb 26 2015

A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.
