SELLER REMARKS

The 1957 Chevy is as popular today as ever, and they won't be getting more affordable in the future, so if you've been looking, perhaps this gorgeous blue hardtop will appeal to you. With traditional mods and a great cool look that's a treat for the eyes, this original Fuelie has just the right blend of performance and pedigree to be a winner.

Looking this bright blue hardtop over, it's hard to believe that the paint is 20 years old; it looks closer to two years old! You can scan through our inventory of 1957 Chevys and this blue car stands out simply because it's not red, but to be honest, that's really doing this car a disservice. The bodywork is in good shape and the paint shines up very nicely, erasing the years easily and making for a very attractive car from any angle. The choice of a single color and Bel Air trim makes it look sleek, and the 'Fuel Injection' badges on the front fenders aren't there simply because the builder thought they were pretty (we'll talk more about the engine in a bit). Chrome is always important on a '57 Chevy, and while it was also refinished back in the '90s, it's pretty nice today. A continental kit out back adds a certain upscale flair to the familiar '57 shape and it, too, shows off excellent chrome and brightly polished stainless trim.

Aside from the big wood-rimmed steering wheel, the interior looks quite stock, including the funk and attractive two-tone upholstery. The combination of colors and textures works wonderfully here, offering a wonderful 1950s look that will never go out of fashion. The carpets are in good shape, although they may show some light fading due to age, but nobody will complain. All the factory gauges are functioning and show off crisp markings and clear lenses, and while it's not everyone's cup of tea, that wood-rimmed wheel is attractive on its own. The radio has been removed, but that means it's ready for whatever system you'd like to have and the headliner is in good order. Pull the continental spare out of the way and open the trunk, and you'll find a correctly finished trunk with a reproduction rubber mat and good bodywork.

The 283 cubic inch V8 was originally fuel injected from the factory, and all those parts are included with the car if you'd like to take it back to stock form. But I'm guessing that after you drive this car the way it sits, you'll fall in love and it'll become a lot less important. Right now, there's an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, a solid lifter camshaft, and finned aluminum valve covers to give it a bit more oomph off the line and a period high performance look. Chevy Orange on the block stands out against the black engine bay and still looks great after all these years. You'll also find a correct generator with built-in power steering pump, a very welcome option on a '57 like this. The 2-speed PowerGlide automatic transmission shifts properly thanks to a rebuild in May 2014 and there's a new fuel pump and fresh battery, both of which were installed in April 2014. Fresh 215/70/14 blackwall radials were installed at the same time, wrapping around period Boyd Coddington wheels that suit this blue Chevy just fine.

A really nice older restoration, this is a wonderful driver-grade Bel Air that runs superbly and looks awesome. Call today!

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We 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.
