1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible on 2040-cars
|
It is impossible to speak of a classic fifties or sixties
Chevrolet without talking about the iconic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible.
To many enthusiasts it is the ultimate 50’s Cruiser. Its styling is timeless.
And, OH those tail fins!! Plus, take a look at the hood with those gun sites! This 57 Convertible was the subject of a body-off
restoration several years ago, but has only traveled 180 miles since. The miles
are mainly the de-bugging process and car shows. Things in particular I want
you to notice are the dual exhaust pipes with the proper exhaust manifolds, the
power pack heads connected to the correct 57 block and a very nice working
Rochester carburetor. Please also notice the correct black air cleaner and the
correct valve covers adorned in Chevy orange paint. This classic is also
correctly finished in the red oxide primer on the floors and has had all the
suspension items front and rear redone correctly. This iconic legend is absolutely beautiful as you can
plainly see and would fit right in with your collection of classic cars. The
stance on this 57 Chevy Convertible is fantastic and it really looks great going
down the road, especially with those nice wide whites it is sporting. It even
looks great with the white top up which of course matches perfectly with the
wide white tires. We reserve the right the end the auction at any time because this car is for sale locally. You do not get to be the high bidder and then inspect the vehicle. Inspect the vehicle before the auction ends if you wish. |

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
