I purchased this vehicle in Iowa ( 1988 ) from a company that obtained it after the original owners had passed away. They knew the family and the history of the car. I drove it home to Wisconsin and it ran perfectly. It has been stored since in a dry environment in mothballs to keep the mice away. This car is completely original, nothing has been changed or modified . A survivor with nothing sprayed or gooped on to mask the true condition. The interior is very nice, all gauges function except fuel ,needle goes from empty to full when the key is turned. The horn, lights, wipers all work , even the radio. The heater controls function as do the turn signals. The clock is only correct twice a day. The fabric is not worn and in excellent condition, carpeting has some minor stains and some spots on the headliner, but overall very nice. All the rubber weatherstrip is soft and intact. At some point wax was applied to the steering wheel and has yellowed. The wheel has no cracks or chips and I did not try and remove the wax because I do not want to harm the plastic. It is not as bad as it sounds. The brite-work and stainless is very clean and straight, no pitting or scrapes. The chrome bumpers are very good except for one spot on the rear bumper below the license plate, looks like someone hit it with a hammer. Very clean chrome with no corrosion. The lenses, badges and emblems are clear , the Impala badge on the passenger side has a screw in it, can't figure out why someone would do that. All the glass is blemish free, no fogging or cracks anywhere and no pits or scratches. The windows roll up and down smoothly and the doors close like a bank vault, no sagging hinges. What would you expect from an original car with less than 30 thousand miles, check the oil change sticker on the door and the odometer photo. This Chevy is painted in GM lacquer and still shines with only a few scratches around the body. The body does have a few small dings/dents but none serious or bigger than a dime/quarter, again look at the pictures. All the panels are straight and I can't emphasize enough how rust free this car is. I pulled up the trunk mat to see what hidden surprises were under it, nothing but solid sheet metal with no rust. The underside was not sprayed with undercoating so all you see is metal painted black. In the spots where the paint is degraded there is only factory red primer.The frame is also clean. This car has no body rust and the bottoms of the door are exceptional. The engine fires right up, but the generator light remains lit. Car has manual brakes and no power steering. I believe the tires are original and hold air but the sidewalls have cracks.. Surface rust in the engine bay only, very light. The 283 has not been repainted. Overall, very good car with a realistic reserve , nothing crazy here. Probably one of the nicest all original 59's you will ever see.

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor
Sat, Apr 30 2016Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
