1957 Chevrolet 210 Station Wagon. California car, built in Arizona, with rust-free sheet metal, all it's original tinted glass, CA frame rails and bumpers. It came to Connecticut in the early 80s with a 283 and Muncie 4 speed and faded original Dusk Pearl and India Ivory paint. It was a low mileage car to begin with. After using a few years as a "driver", we took it all down to restore it's beauty and freshen up the mechanics. Every piece of this car has been disassembled, sand blasted, primed, painted, and reassembled. All new bearings, bushings, brakes, exhaust, etc. was done. The engine was put into another driver and this all new old school 327 with tri-power Rochester carburetors and an RV cam replaced the old 283. The Muncie 4 speed was also completely gone thru and shifts like butter with a vintage Hurst shifter. The body and all the sheet metal were soda blasted to eliminate distortion and professionally jambed and painted it's factory original colors. All new or rechromed original trim and bumpers were fitted to the body and the chassis and underside painted. The seats and interior panels were recovered in a late 50s hot rod style, the headliner is the original one. It rides on Radir 14 inch wheels with 1 inch white wall radials. Check out the photos for the detailing, new rubber parts, fit and finish- We didn't take any short cuts or try to save money half way thru.
The object of the restoration was to preserve the wagon, yet kick it up a notch to make it a better driving and more eye appealing car. Another-words, it's not your grampa's grocery getter. The combination of the color and drive-train and affection that everyone has for an old wagon makes this a crowd pleaser. Take the family, your friends, the dog ANYWHERE. This car was built to be seen and enjoyed and reliable. Don't let the 3 carbs fool you. It idles at 900 RPM and is the equivalent of a 4 barrel in CFM. So being a standard transmission, it gets 20 MPG, and for a period hot rod that's terrific. And it will get up and go, you control the performance. It will chirp 1st and 2nd if you want to be a gear head again for a few moments.
The best description of the ride and handling is that " it drives and steers, etc. like a brand new 1957 Chevy." It really is impressive. It has about 2000 miles on it since it was done, and that was 12 years ago. This car was never to be sold, but I am currently building a 32 Ford old school coupe and need to make room for it. I hope it comes out half as nice as this one did. It's nice to have an old school rod that you can work on yourself, that's how it all started right? Souping up the old mans Chevy !!
The buy it now price is $28,500 and includes the rear fender skirts. I can only imagine what it would cost to have someone duplicate this now. I have a set of 15 inch Rallye wheels with Moon centers and white letter tires that were on it for the first 8 years and would sell it for $27,000 with those if you want to save some money. Please call me with any questions Greg (860) 913-4680

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet
Mon, May 12 2014Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.
