      Welcome to our listing for this Very Unique 1956 Chevrolet Belair 2DR HDTP Custom. This amazing Belair has a few outstanding and creative custom touches that you just don't see everyday. The Headlights and Tailights have been Frenched. The radio antenna was also frenched. The door handles have been shaved and a new "door popper" was installed to easily open the door. The hood and deck lid have also been shaved and finally a custom grille was added for the final touch. All these featured combined gives this 1956 Belair a very tasteful and outstanding look. There is also a custom "bra" (not shown) for those extended trips to keep the Belair safe from bugs and rocks. Finally we will include a custom car cover (not shown) to keep the Belair clean while your not out crusing the streets.

     The interior features custom upholstered  front bucket seats and the rear bench seat has been covered to match. The custom door panels were fabricated to match the seats and color coordinated carpet was installed.  The seats, door panels, and carpeting are all in very good condition and they look Super.

     The engine is a Chevrolet Small Block 400 CU IN, and the transmission is a automatic 700R. The engine runs perfectly and the transmission shifts smoothly. The engine compartment has had a good amount of chrome added (every car should have a little bling) and the intake is polished. One disclosure is the rear main on the engine is seeping slightly. The Belair also features power front disc brakes to stop the custom efficently.

     The Centerline wheels and BF Goodrich Tires compliment the look and stance of the Belair. The wheels are in great condition and the tires have only a few miles on them.

     The body on the 1956 is realitively straight (remember this is a big car with big panels and is painted black), but I wouldn't call it perfect. The custom work is very tasteful and was done properly. The paint was sanded and buffed to a "smooth high shine" and is very good showing only a few minor flaws, the only ones worth mentioning is on the right hand seam between the rear window and deck lid (see pic) where the paint has couple small bubbles and some chips where the deck lid closes at the bottom. On a scale of 1 to 10 this Belair is a strong 7 to a middle 8. Very Very Good, but not perfect.

     The undercarriage of the Belair is in good condition. There are no signs of holes in the floors, trunk, or on the frame. Remember this is a "driver quality" car and the underside shows signs of the car being driven. This Belair was built to drive and enjoy!

   The VIN on the Belair is an Iowa assigned VIN that reads VC56J141374 control number A19790. It looks like during the restoration the VIN was taken off and misplaced and an assigned number (matching the title VIN) was issued. This Belair has a clean and clear Nebraska title.

     In our opinion this is a "high quality" driver car. This is not a $75,000 nut and bolt restoration. If you are looking for perfect, this is probably not the car for you. If you are looking for a well above average driver quality car that commands a TON of attention, then this is the one you have been waiting to purchase. The previous owner had this car for a little over 4 years and did all the regular maintainence and upgrades.

     Most are asking in well in excess of $30,000 for a similar car. Here is one you can own for under $28,000 and drive it in current condition without having to spend the summer working on the car. The 1956 drives out great and looks amazing cruising down the street. Picture yourself at the local cruise night hanging out with friends and showing them this "Super Custom" that looks much more expensive than the asking price. Then you get the luxury of driving down the boulevard windows down and hearing all the compliments and thumbs up from passers by.

     This car is definately "on the money" and will sell quickly. The last car (1928 Ford Model A Hi-Boy Roadster) sold on e-bay the second day it was listed. This 1956 Belair is priced similar and won't last long. Don't wait! This one will be GONE!

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro powers up, slims down

Sat, May 16 2015

Don't be fooled by its familiar appearance, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is vastly different than its iconic predecessors. It has a new chassis, a fresh engine lineup, and is loaded with clever technologies that promise to invigorate and improve the sixth generation of Chevy's legendary sports car. It was revealed Saturday before a crowd of enthusiastic Camaro revelers on Belle Isle in Detroit. Redesigning the sports coupe was a heady task, especially as its archrivals, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, drive better and are more powerful than ever. But the new Camaro is aiming to be the best combination of handling and raw performance, with quick acceleration and competitive fuel economy. "Redesigning the Camaro is thrilling and challenging all at once, but the secret is to offer something more," Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of product development, said in a statement. It all began with a weight-loss plan. The new Camaro shed more than 200 pounds compared with the outgoing car, with 133 pounds coming from a lighter body-in-white. Then engineers culled weight nearly everywhere, using aluminum for the instrumental panel frame and some suspension components to trim as much fat as possible. The slimmer body rests on new bones. The Camaro's rear-wheel-drive platform is lighter and stiffer in a bid to improve handling. It's a modified version of the underpinnings used by the Cadillac ATS, though about 70 percent of the architecture is unique to the Camaro. Chevy said structural rigidity is improved by 28 percent. As you'll see, healthy doses of Cadillac and Corvette technologies have been used to bolster the Camaro's drive character and performance. The new car is also expected to handle better thanks to a slightly smaller footprint. It is about two inches shorter in length, with most of that due to the more compact wheelbase. It's also an inch shorter in height and an inch slimmer in width. So yes, the Camaro will be leaner, but it will still be plenty mean. The Camaro SS tops the range (for now) with the Corvette's 6.2-liter V8 pushing put 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. Known as the LT1, is has a cast aluminum block and cast aluminum cylinder heads, and it's fortified with direct injection, variable valve timing, and cylinder deactivation. About 20 percent of the engine's parts are said to be unique to the Camaro, including the exhaust manifolds.

U.S. new-vehicle sales in 2018 rise slightly to 17.27 million [UPDATE]

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. rose slightly in 2018, defying predictions and highlighting a strong economy. Automakers reported an increase of 0.3 percent over a year ago to 17.27 million vehicles. The increase came despite rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, and rising car and truck prices that pushed some buyers out of the new-vehicle market. Industry analysts and automakers said strong economic fundamentals pushed up sales and should keep them near historic highs in 2019. "Economic conditions in the U.S. are favorable and should continue to be supportive of vehicle sales at or around their current run rate," Ford Chief Economist Emily Kolinski Morris said after the company and other automakers announced their sales numbers Thursday. That auto sales remain near the 2016 record of 17.55 million is a testimonial to the strength of the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. The job market, he said, has created new employment, and wage growth has accelerated. "That's fundamental to selling anything," he said. "If there are lots of jobs and people are getting bigger paychecks, they will buy more." The unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, a 49-year low. The economy is thought to have grown close to 3 percent last year, its best performance in more than a decade. Consumers, the main driver of the economy, are spending freely. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate four times in 2018 but is only expected to raise it twice this year. Auto sales also were helped by low gasoline prices and rising home values, Zandi said. It all means that people are likely to keep buying new vehicles this year even as they grow more expensive. The Edmunds.com auto-pricing site estimates that the average new vehicle price hit a record $35,957 in December, about 2 percent higher than the previous year. It will be harder for automakers to keep the sales pace above 17 million because they have been enticing buyers for several years now with low-interest financing and other incentives, Zandi said. He predicts more deals in the coming year as job growth slows and credit tightens for higher-risk buyers. Edmunds, which provides content, including automotive tips and reviews, for distribution by The Associated Press, predicts that sales will drop this year to 16.9 million.
