On July 20, 1967, William Ferrell strolled into Allen Green Chevrolet in Burien, Washington in search of a new car. Mr. Ferrell was stationed at the nearby Fort Lewis for basic training and wanted to get a new car before he was shipped off to Vietnam. With his checks from Uncle Sam burning a hole in his pockets, he searched the lot for the perfect ride. He found what he was looking for in a brand new 1967 Bolero Red Nova Super Sport. It had matching red interior and a black vinyl top. When he popped the hood, it got even better. It had the factory installed 327 rated at 275 horsepower backed up by a 4 speed transmission. This car fit the bill perfectly and after some paperwork was signed, William was driving his new Nova back to the base. To get his new car on the base, he was required to put a bumper sticker with his permit number on it. (it is still on the rear bumper) I also have the temporary permit from the dealer. William ended up going to Vietnam and returned a year later to find his Nova just as he had left it. With his duty to Uncle Sam fullfilled, he hopped in the Nova and drove it back to his home state of South Carolina where he and the car resided together until 2010. When I bought the car, it was totally original. Unlike so many other Novas, this one was loved and not changed. It still had its complete original drivetrain down to the original carburetor, starter, distributor, alternator, shifter, etc. It showed just over 60,000 miles on the odometer and no doubt are actual miles. When I got the car, it smoked a little so I pulled the engine and replaced, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, and had the heads professionaly gone through. I replaced the original clutch and installed period correct bias white wall tires. The body was near perfect wearing most of its original Bolero red laquer. The body had absolutely no rust and only a few dings and bruises. There is no evidence of any major damage and it still retains both of its original T 3 headlights. I replaced the original vinyl top just because it had dried out and cracked over the years. I also removed the carpet and had it professionaly cleaned. While taking the carpet out I found a build sheet showing the drivetrain and color options. (see picture) Also under the seat was a few pictures of the car and family members from the late 60,s. When the carpet was out I could see where at one time the heater core had leaked and left a very small amount of rust on the passenger side floor board. Really not significant enough to even mention. When Mr. Ferrell bought the car, it not only had the best color combination and best drivetrain combination, it also had some pretty good factory options. It came with the factory wood steering wheel, rear defroster, and front and rear bumper guards. I have lovingly preserved this car and has been in my personal collection for years now. I will be selling off a few of my cars in the next few weeks including a one owner 1964 Nova Super Sport, 283 with 4 speed and factory air conditioning and a 1964 GTO original California Black plate car that has had a frame off restoration.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
