You are looking at a very very nice 1953 Chevy Pickup. Fully restored and beautiful. This truck get compliments everywhere you go! The truck has been sub-framed with a 1979 Trans-am, it has a 350ci 5.7L Chevy Crate motor in it with a T-400 Transmission. It is geared for the highway, she cruises at 70 mph wonderfully! The truck sits on an Air-Ride air bag suspension system on all 4 corners. One compressor and two tanks for the front and the rear. Pressure guages are mounted in the dash. The switch controller is cable mounted and comes through the seat. (see pics) It has power brakes with discs in the front. Power steering. Power windows. Dolphin Gauges in the dash. 20" Boss wheels, grey in the center with polished lip. Wheels are staggered with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. 255 in the front and 275 in the rear. All the door handles and chains for tailgate and badges have been shaved. It has custom stained glass corner windows but I have the clear windows to include in the sale. New wood in the bed, with chrome trim pieces. Power wipers and windshield washing fluid. The battery is in the floor board under a cover and some dynomat and carpet, flips up and has a master kill switch, like in a boat.
The restoration is 3-4 years old, it has done about 2,200 miles since completion. The truck runs and drives amazing. Always starts right up. Stays cool even when its hot out, the temp gauge stays solid at 180 degrees. Air ride is great on the highway. The truck looks amazing! There are a couple small cracks in the paint. One on the hood and then on the bed rails. I included pictures. Its hard to see even in person on the bed rails. The framework is very well done!
*The passenger door is popped in the low angle rear quarter shot. You can tell in the other pics that it closes tightly.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
