Underneath the dust, rust and broken glass is one of the best examples of Chevrolet history that would love to be restored or rodded out. This Art Deco 1941 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup has been around the block a time or two, but I'm guessing you have never seen one quite like this. This truck was a rat rod before rat rods were cool. Just look at the custom front fenders, chicken wire grille and wooden running boards. This one just speaks for itself. Please look at the pictures to see this in full detail and don't speculate anything. If you need more details please ask and I'll do my best to get you the answers you need. As you can probably guess this truck has been sitting outside for several years. It is a fairly complete and solid vehicle, but will require a total restoration or used as parts or a rat rod. Parts are rusted, glass is broken and the multi-colored paint is peeling, but you just can't make patina like that. The doors have missing parts but do open, as does the windshield. The hood is not the best, but does operate. The box came from another truck and is just sitting on the frame. The engine is stuck, the steering box is locked up and the steering column is broken. The "mileage" odometer reading is unknown, but is exempt on the title because of the age. This will roll onto your trailer and I can help with a tractor and loader. The wheels are from a mid 70's chevy 4WD truck with pretty nice 31x10.5x15 tires. This has a clear, clean and current Nebraska title as a 1941 Chevrolet Pickup with the model # matching the vin tag. As you can see in the picture the vin tag is all faded, but the stamped vin # is intact. If you are the winning bidder on this auction and you only want the title and vin tag, I will gladly send those to you free of charge and reimburse you $100 from the final bid for the truck. If you only want parts off this truck, you can gladly come and remove what you want and I will dispose of the rest. I will continue to store this truck outside in the elements up to 1 year free of charge until you come pick it up. If I still have it after that year is up and no other arrangements have been made I will consider the truck abandoned and I will resell again. This truck is selling as is where is with no guarantee. I will require a $200 deposit via pay pal within 72 hours of auction end, and the remaining amount within 30 days or cash at the time of pickup. Please plan on picking this up yourself. I have worked with shippers before and some have been difficult to deal with. The shipper I would use with no questions asked, is Marc Springer from Snortn Boar Transport. You may have seen his work on the A&E TV show Shipping Wars. He shipped my 1940 1 1/2 ton on the first season episode "Bullship" I have already contacted Marc, and he would be glad to ship for me again. Who knows, maybe it would make it on TV again. I would consider delivering this myself within a 200 mile radius of me for $2.00 a loaded mile. So if it would help for me to get it a little closer to you, it may be a possibility. My reserve is low on this truck as I feel the title is worth it alone. But if you were to part and scrap this out there is plenty of $$$ to make. I do have other parts that may be available to buy depending on when this truck is picked up. Thanks for looking, and please email me for any questions and or concerns.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
