Southern Car built in Atlanta solid and straight! you would have to search pretty hard to get one with only 91,700 miles . Sometime in the late 1970s it received its first Paint Job! Thats right this car has had one repaint in its 57 years! The car was painted in its original color of Neptune Green using at that time Centari Enamel, now 34 years later this paint has settled into the most wonderful shade of Green, A Patina you now would have a heck of a time duplicating, It screams 1950's. its not the real Dark Neptune Green anymore its faded into more Turquoise, The Paint just fits the car and visa versa. As we continue with its history there are old Stewart Warner Gauges cut professional in the dash along with a Stewart Warner older Tach, I do not know when this was done but they look great and are very old units that can not be replaced, I know I had to replace the temperature gauge and I still kept the old unit to repair at sometime . People look just to collect these vintage gauges!
Chevrolet 400 Small Block and Double Hump Heads, rebuild it with new components and balance it in the process, ad a lt1 cam and a very rare old school gm dual point distributor . remove the three speed and tastefully ad a 4 speed muncie with special made Hurst Shifter for 1955 bench seat, remove the 3 speed collar and ad a special made smooth collar to make it look like it could of came from GM that way. Ad a 409 1964 P Case 4:11 rear end, Top everything off with a old school polished Offenhauser intake along with 3 rebuilt Rochester Carbs by a Specialty Hot Rod Shop in Southern California, Correct with Custom Linkage and Custom Fuel lines all neat and tidy! No Mickey Mouse stuff here. This car Screams Nostalgia! Oh for safety I had all the wiring redone, all new Wire Harness's there are somethings you just don't want to leave old, ditto to brakes ! All redone!

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
