1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:180
Location:

It is impossible to speak of a classic fifties or sixties Chevrolet without talking about the iconic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. To many enthusiasts it is the ultimate 50’s Cruiser. Its styling is timeless. And, OH those tail fins!! Plus, take a look at the hood with those gun sites!

This 57 Convertible was the subject of a body-off restoration several years ago, but has only traveled 180 miles since. The miles are mainly the de-bugging process and car shows. Things in particular I want you to notice are the dual exhaust pipes with the proper exhaust manifolds, the power pack heads connected to the correct 57 block and a very nice working Rochester carburetor. Please also notice the correct black air cleaner and the correct valve covers adorned in Chevy orange paint. This classic is also correctly finished in the red oxide primer on the floors and has had all the suspension items front and rear redone correctly.

This iconic legend is absolutely beautiful as you can plainly see and would fit right in with your collection of classic cars. The stance on this 57 Chevy Convertible is fantastic and it really looks great going down the road, especially with those nice wide whites it is sporting. It even looks great with the white top up which of course matches perfectly with the wide white tires. 

This beautiful convertible was recently in the Houston Corvette/Chevy Expo. In that Houston is the fourth largest city in the US, this show was a major event. Below are the pictures from the show. We missed winning First Place by 1/2 of 1 point!! I have added pictures from the show whic include all the detailing of the engine and interior that was done for the show with correct decals and tags. The final score for the car was 95 1/2 out of 100. 

We reserve the right the end the auction at any time because this car is for sale locally. 

You do not get to be the high bidder and then inspect the vehicle. Inspect the vehicle before the auction ends if you wish.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
