1957 Chevy Nomad. I have owned this car for 10 yrs. Originally an Arizona car, brought to Michigan, owned by a previous owner for 30 years who semi restored it in 1974-76. 283 with a power glide. Supposed to be a powerpack 283. First year for the 283. This is a 57 dated motor. The 1957 283's were unique in that they had no side motor mount pad cast into the side of the block, thew mounted off of the front of the engine. This car was "restored" buy a fellow between 1974 and 1976. I have a series of 35 mm slides that came with the car showing it being painted and a fresh motor. The engine was rebiult at that time and he turned the odometer back to zero. To date there has been only 10,000 miles put on since 1976. I bought this car in Flint Michigan in 2003, and drove it home up the interstate 500 miles, 9 hrs ,65 mph, with no trouble. New dual exhaust put on in 2002 before I bought. Runs great and drives straight. The car was painted in 1976, as the slides show, and is starting to crack in places now. You can also see where a panel was painted at one time, top of L front fender and topof door, in the past do to a scratch repair, and was not a perfect match. When I bought the car it was stone stock. This is a near rust free car. Solid floors, solid rockers with one small area of rust as seen in pics, solid body mounts. The slides show there were a couple of places in the rear cargo area that were patched in 1976, the biggest being maybe 6" square. There is some body filler in the drivers door that can be seen. There are still traces of original red primer up under the drive shaft area. There is a spot of rust starting at the bottom of one of the fenders. I have $22,000 in reciepts that I spent starting in 2003. I had the car professionally lowered. Poisey drop rear springs, Hiedts 2" drop spindles with new coils, ball joints, tie rod ends, and power disc brakes. Polished American mags with BF Goodrich radials give it a nice look. I have added a complete new Painless modern wiring harness, Griffin cross flow radiator with fans, and air cond condenser, Rain Gear wiper system, power windows, Alternator, Edlebrock carb and manifold, front and rear bumpers completly rechromed along with the front hood and grill trim, complete new C.A.R.S. interior, I stripped the interior completely and replaced everything except the headliner which needed nothing, including all door and cargo panels and all garnish moldings repainted and new dash trim. Carpet in the cargo area is sun faded. This is a factory air condtioned car according to the firewall tag. So I re-plated the dash vents and heater control, which is special to a factory air car. I do not have any of the original air cond. parts for the engine compartment, there is also no heater parts in the engine compartment either. But air vents are working. New seat foam and covers. New tinted door window glass with completly rebuilt & rechromed window vent assemblys. The exterior stainless trim is as good as it gets for an original, with only a few dimples in a couple of pieces. New door gaskets and seals including the cargo doors. New Halogen headlights assemblies, new LED taillight assemblies including housings. New gas tank and sender. Pertronix ignition. 15" 1956 Bel air steering wheel. I have all reciepts, includes an assembly and service manual and a large book full of 57 Nomad magazine articles. Will ad more as I recall it.

On Sep-30-12 at 07:59:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

According to Hemmings or Old Cars grading scale, 1 to 6, 1 being perfect, 6 being a parts car, I would rate this a strong # 3, As I said, paint is 35 years old and has issues, underside is in original condtion not "restored" with the exception of the items I listed. Runs excellant and drives straight. Gets positive commets wherever I go, from little kids to little old ladies. There is no power steering. I see no reason you couldnt drive this anywhere. I am located near Iron Mountain Michigan, or 100 miles due north of Green Bay, Wisconsin

GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump

Fri, Jul 21 2017

The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk

Thu, Jul 9 2015

An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software. Related Video: General Motors is recalling 164,993 2006-2010 model year HUMMER H3 and 2009-2010 model year HUMMER H3T models in the U.S. In certain vehicles, the connector module that controls the blower motor speed in the heat/vent/air conditioning (HVAC) system may overheat under extended periods of operation at high- and medium-high speeds. The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
