1956 Chevrolet Pick Up on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States

1956 Step Side Chevrolet 3200 Pick up-with a few added safety up grades Mr. Moore purchased this truck new from Fred Fletcher Chevrolet in Dublin, Texas on February 27th, 1956. It stayed in his barn during his ownership and was his work truck. He took excellent care of it. Upon his passing, 45 years later, almost to the day of his purchase, in February 2001, I purchased the truck from his estate. They
are only this original once. This truck defines the word "patina" and any museum would love it! So few excellent originals exist anymore, let alone
in turquoise, with original paint, 235 engine, 3 speed column transmission,
interior, with original leather tailgate covered chains and…well, the list is
endless. I drove it a bit and wanted to drive it more, so I had directional signals,
seat belts and even an A/C unit (installed, but never hooked up) installed. I also replaced the oak in the bed;
otherwise, this is a truck your grandfather would have been proud of! I did not detail the interior or under the hood for the photos, but it is all very nice. The door panels are metal and there is surface rust in the cabin on the original tailgate and on the side steps. I believe the miles are original. The truck has never been in an accident and the normal places of rust on these old gems, like the cab corners, just isn't there. Pull this truck into Home Depot and you will immediately be surrounded. Vintage trucks are increasing in value. This is one of the most original 1956 Chevrolet 3200 step side trucks you will find. Anyone can restore them, but the value in this truck is it's ownership lineage and its condition. As the story goes, Mr. Moore had a lifelong dream to drive this truck from his home in Texas to Alaska, a dream he accomplished and he memorialized the trip with an “ALASKA” sticker in the real window. I just couldn’t remove it. The truck starts, runs and drives well. It has two dents (photos), that I think can easily be fixed without disruption to the paint. i can't imagine the blow that might have caused those dents! I have envelopes filled with Mr. Moore’s license receipts dating back decades. When I registered it in my name, I kept a copy of the original title, which you will own if you are the successful bidder. This is a perfect addition to any vintage truck collection. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. If you are new to eBay and have no feedback, please email me before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel any bids, or to sell this item before the listing ends. This truck is being sold absolutely in as is condition. I will assist in loading the car for transportation. A $2,000 PayPal deposit is expected within 48 hours of the close of this auction. Upon receipt and deposit of remainder, I will then mail the clear title to you. Documentation and keys will be given to your transport company. I'm thinning the herd, so PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VINTAGE CARS LISTED NOW ON eBAY.

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.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
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.
