1955 Chevrolet pickup Truck StepSide, this great American Classic is ready for a new owner to take care of her. This Chevy Victory Red truck (55 original color) is ideal for the collectors out there. Is a rare find with spare tire on the right and not on the driver’s side view. Only few were made this way and it also has the much desired Vintage California plates that are good and current no need to smog.

This beauty has the bullet proof reliable 235 6-inline along with the heavy duty 4 speed transmission. This classic has been restored from ground up. Interior is in great condition. This truck runs and drives good for a 1955. It’s a 12 volt and the speedometer and cluster gauges work with custom lighting and indicators and cab under dash also has courtesy lighting. The Interior has decent custom upholstery and carpet! Stock bench seat also has a comfortable and nice pleated leather center console with cup holders that can be removed to make more sitting space! Has an original looking retro stock radio with hardware upgrade, so not only is it AM, but also FM and it has integrated aux to utilize with your mp3 player or phone and an integrated LCD that lights up behind stock looking AM Dial.

Has newer red oak wood bed with a Vintage Chevy picnic ice chest. All glass is in great shape some of it is new with seals and also some new door seals will be included ready to install. Door glass rolls up and down, vent windows and vents work, wipers work, blinkers break lights tail lights head lights and high beams all work! It still has the original engine, original transmission, original drum brakes, original REBUILT GENERATOR, original heater and air is in cab but not connected and original suspension with deleted leafs to bring it down and give it a cleaner more aggressive look.

Little things have been meticulously taken care of. Over all is great shape for the year it might need little details here and there if you’re a perfectionist. Paint is very presentable still shines when polished, but It's not perfect has minor chips and dings. Previous owner rebuilt the engine and did his own body work in the typical trouble spots like cab corners hood corners and rear fenders, etc. No noticeable rust or rot on frame, it looks very solid, and I UNDERCOATED it before putting the bed back onto the frame. I also found an owner’s manual in the glove box when I bought it from an old gentleman who stated he was the second owner.

I drive this truck locally almost every other day especially on weekends I go to the plaza or downtown and without a miss, every time, is an absolute Two thumbs up REAL HEAD TURNER!! Some people stop and take pictures.

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year

Tue, Nov 17 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
