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.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
