- My father loved this car from the second he purchased it 53 years ago. He never let it get dirty; waxed it even when it gleamed and never let anyone in it who didn't go through a dirt check on their shoes.
- When he entered the Navy in 1968 he drove it from Roseburg, Oregon to Pensicola, Florida for Flight School. He took a picture in October of '68 when the odometer flipped over the hundred thousand mark. (see photo). During his tour of VietNam he had it garaged back in Oregon awaiting his return. He kept a picture of it during his tour and had an artist in Hong Kong paint an original oil on canvas (see photo) which he hung in his house on base.
- From 1972 until his passing in 2009 it was his Sunday driver. During those 37 years he only drove it 24,000 miles. It stayed covered and garaged, waxed and loved and every year he would drive it in the local Graffiti Night Parade (see photo).
- I feel it is my obligation to find a home for this special car. A home where somebody will appreciate it like he did. Somebody who understands what a true original 1960 Impala really means and how valuable and rare this car truly is.
- Because it still has the original paint there are a few rock chips on the edge of the hood and some gentle swirl marks from a thousand waxes. Perhaps a brand new paint job would bring more money but it would loose that originality that makes the car what it is. And it's a special feeling when you sit in it and know that it looks the same as when it sat on the showroom floor.
- This is a true One-Of-A-Kind from a man who could love a car as much as car could be loved.
- Happy Bidding!

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
