Year:1959
Mileage:61299
Location:
Jonesville, Michigan, United States
Before I
begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at 1-517-990-2646
with any questions or concerns. This
auction is for a 1959 Chevrolet Belair 2-door 1 family owned since new. I apologize
in advance for the long winded story but this car deserves it. 1959 is said by
some to be the best year, for
the second time in as many years, Chevrolet again came up with a totally new
car. From the front or rear the 1959 Chevrolets resembled nothing else on the
road. From the headlights, placed as low as the law would allow, to the
cats-eye tail lights, the 1959 Chevrolet was a brand new car with all new sheet
metal, a new frame, and even new series names. The most visual new change was
the flat, wing shaped tailfins. The
'59 Chevy was the last car that Harley Earl designed for GM before retiring,
and his flamboyant style was very evident. It’s
in great condition throughout! All the
mechanics work properly, looks great and is fun to drive!
This very rare 59 Belair is in nice original condition everywhere you
look with only 1 re-paint to the original color. This car is a one family owned
car I bought it from the niece of the original owner we have a folder full of documentation
of ownership including the original title in his name. ‘59 model year and is a
very rare to find one for sale, let alone one that is in the original condition
this one is, this car may be the one you can own at a great price. This car is
a rare find with being one family owned since new with docs and the fact that
it is all original with only one repaint and a new headliner. The miles on the
odometer show 61,299 and are original to the car. The engine bay is original,
when the car was passed down in 2005 the motor was completely rebuilt we have
the receipts also, the paint was also done at that time, still looks nice but
not perfect, they added power steering for ease of driving there were older at
this time also, every piece of chrome and stainless is very nice with the exception
of the bumpers they had them painted with a special chrome paint and they said
it looked good at the time but after almost 10 years they need to be re-chromed.
Turn over the 283 V-8 engine and quite rumble from the exhausts hits a sweet
tune. Driving it, you will appreciate the ride and handling characteristics.
The optional 2-speed auto transmission shifts smoothly, the power brakes stop
the car quickly and securely. It’s is a blast to drive!
The body is in nice condition. The metal is clean and straight with no
signs of damage. We have pictures of the car in 2005 before any work was done;
it still was all original everywhere but the tires. All the glass is in great
shape with no chips or cracks. The original bias-ply spare tire and all the jack assembly is all there,
the original paint under the deck lid and original jack instructions are still
there with the original trunk mat. The underside is
very solid the original owner had the car rust proofed new and then had it done
a couple more times over the years just to make sure the car would last.
Overall this is a rare
opportunity to own a true piece of American history of the automobile industry,
how many 59 Belair’s do you see at your local or national events across the
country? I welcome overseas buyers please feel free to call me at 517-990-2646.

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
