For your consideration, here's my prized 5 window 1953 Chevy 3100 pickup aka The Flyin' Jalape~no. I purchased this pickup with the optional 4-on-the-floor transmission in 2012 from a local deputy in Idaho who had recently bought it from the original owner. Amazingly, it spent nearly 59 years on the family farm in Idaho. When I first inspected the truck, I was surprised how straight and rust-free it was considering its former life down on the farm. Plus, the stock 216 Thriftmaster still ran strong. The original owner had put his own stamp on the 3100 including 1) the very cool and original 1953-54 Nash hood ornament signed by (George) PETTY (a perfect fit.... see pics), 2) the front Chevy emblem off a mid-50's model, which he mounted under the tailgate and 3) the handmade double hooks for securing a load mounted under the bed lip (4 per side)..... practical & old school. Although I was shooting for a stock restoration, I retained his personal touches and added a few of my own such as 1941-48 original hubcaps (not repros) which I prefer to the '47-53 versions, a new oak bed rather than the standard pine bed and fabricated steel bed rails painted black instead of wooden ones which don't last long in the Arizona heat...... note: the rear bed rail is removable (just lift and remove) for access to the bed plus both side rails can be easily removed (four screws per side).

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
