This is the third 55 hardtop I've owned and thought I would not sell another one. But, I do have other projects I want to complete so it could sell for the right price, I've owned this 55 since 1989 and it will be hard to list every thing that has been done. I'm an Old School guy and tried to build this as a 60's , 70's hot rod with as little as possible new items. This is my driver and fun car so I drove it for a few years after purchase then slowly started working on it which lead to the body coming off and went from there. There are new front and rear floors and they are welded in and not finished smooth , but ground and then seam sealed. Underside and frame painted with Emron. This car took me until 3 years ago to complete due to 5 moves !! Has new quarters and I purchased doors , fenders , and trunk from Desert Valley back in 80's before they were known. I believe the wheels are 60's astros , from a friends 58 vette he was redoing. Paint is less than three years old and is show quality but, does have some minor chips/scratches due to driving. New smoked glass ( bottom of drivers window has some minor milkiness) Custom 57 Buick grill , re chromed head lamp rims and tail bezels , Danchunk one piece rear bumper, new Bird. /Grill surround original , minor pits. Hood is pinned and have removed bracing and latch, which I have, Heater not installed but I have 2 units. I have the original bumpers, fender wells , missing one lower flap, and fenders/trunk..The interior is two years old and beautiful!! CCR column, new hurst shifter am/fm radio Brand new saginaw 4spd from I believe MCR racing in texas. 1968 327 chevy 60 over , new crank etc. 202 head reworked with larger valves ,30/30 solid cam hooker headers, custom 3inch duel exhaust with summit stainless turbos. It has a offenhauser intake on with two carters at this time which i received from a friend that road races a 62 vette the carbs are 409 chevy units with no choke and they run better than the brand new holley 450's show in the picks. You can have the holleys but I got rid of the 4 inch spacers needed to make it clear the distriburator All new suspension, shocks body mounts drag link tie rods etc. new fuel and brake lines, sender unit. Disc brake conversion and new cylinders on rear. Tires are Hurst racing tires cheaters on rear. Also has a new Eaton Posi in the rear 373 gears. The only issues I know about the car are I have the original steering box in MANUAL and it has some looseness , also the fuel gauge reads higher than in the tank and it has a new sender so possibly the gauge which I have another one ,I just keep it above 1/4 tank to be safe. . Also the car has a new Painless wiring harness and fuse box, and a Rain Gear electric wiper set up. I have installed 8lb door popper on the doors and a manual release for the trunk per cable new 2 inch lowering springs in front, this car was built as an old school Gasser but no straight axle, and I like the custom look that's why the shaved handles trunk etc / Buick grill!! any questions , Geno 440-822-7600 I'm sure I left a lot out!!!!!

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt

Thu, Feb 26 2015

A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020

Wed, Jan 6 2021

BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.
