For Sale - 1956 Chevy Nomad. The body of this car has been completely disassembled inside and out. The hood, front fenders, doors and tailgate have been media blasted to bare metal and primed. These panels were temporarily bolted on to take pictures. The roof is about 75% stripped by chemical stripping. I cut out the original floor from the seam at the firewall to the seam in front of the shock mounts. I installed a 1 piece floor but it's not not welded in. It has been screwed together at the flanges with tech screws. This new floor has integral inner rocker panels. New outer rocker panels were installed at the same time. It will need some metal work to fit the floor to the side walls at the rear seat area. I chose not to get any welding done because I think that the body should go to media blast then primed and fitted again before final welding. The passenger side quarter panel was replaced at some time but it doesn't look like a good job and it will have to be done again. There was a ton of bondo there. The drivers side was not as extensive as the passenger side and should be able to be reworked. I have 2 quarter panels from a 4 door wagon, no rot, that I had media blasted and primed if needed. I do not have any interior door panels, kick panels headliner etc. I took pictures to show the parts in groups of interior trim, exterior trim, bumpers , etc. I have all of the trim parts except the scripts for the quarter panels and tailgate. I have more pictures of the exterior window and door trim and can take more pictures of anything that you want to see. I have the seat springs for the bottom and back of the rear seat but there is no front seat. There is a complete front bumper and only the center section of the rear bumper. The motor is a 283c.i. out of a 58 chevy. It has a rebuilt powerglide. The frame is in great condition, very clean, no rust. It has 2" dropped spindles with front disc brakes, most of the brake lines are done. The rear brakes and emergency brake parts inside the drum area are all new. The ball joints are bolted in so they had been replaced at some time. I have all of the glass but only the back glass is good, the rest is cracked and discolored.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs
Fri, Dec 6 2019General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.
