1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Classically styled with hidden improvements Modern American classic with sensible upgrades and a surprise styling touch. Full restoration, finished in mint green & ivory,
an excellent driver and real head-turner, especially with its low-profile rear tonneau cover
that turns the car into a four-passenger roadster. To increase the Bel Air's reliability and drivability, old
265 V8 was removed and replaced with a fresh crate motor Chevrolet 350, hooked
up to a new Turbo 350 automatic transmission and rebuilt rear end.
Original-style valve covers and a rare "batwing" air-cleaner setup
for the dual-quad carbs keep a mid-'50s vibe in the engine bay. At the same
time an all-new exhaust system was fitted. Greatly upping the car's ability to mix it up with modern traffic are aftermarket front disc brakes. Like the engine, this upgrade is all but invisible, hidden behind the original-size wheels and NOS hubcaps. At the same time, the suspension was renewed with all-new shocks, springs and bushings. The car has been driven less than 500 since the improvements. It's always been stored inside, covered, and is regularly detailed. This car's interior is a highlight, refinished to showroom
spec in greens and chrome and stainless-steel, with a big comfy bench front
seat. Recent addition is all-new period-correct wool carpeting. Likewise, the
trunk compartment is immaculate. What really sets the car apart is removal of the convertible
top and its metal framework, replaced with a custom low-profile tonneau cover
in color-matched vinyl with button snaps. This transforms the car into a unique
roadster and greatly streamlines the side profile. Car located in Southern California, is currently registered and
has a clear California title. Features: ·

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers
Fri, Oct 31 2014If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
