Chevrolet: Tahoe on 2040-cars
Delta, Iowa, United States
I am selling my Ultimate Offroad Hunting Rig. Ive got too many toys and it has been decided that some need to go. Because I hardly ever drive this, it will be the first to go. I dont even know what I have invested in this at this point but if I run through everything it looks to me like it would cost in excess of $50k to get even close to what I have. It started out as the normal 2012 Chevy Tahoe. It was bright red and that is just NOT my color so I decided to build the Tahoe that Ive always wanted. We started by striping all the interior and exterior. It then went to LineX of Des Moines (worlds largest Line-X) and they applied LineX to the exterior and interior of the truck! To top that off we did a custom Olive Drab color. We also Line-X sprayed black on the fender flares, bumpers, and vent visors. It was then brought back to Harold Smiths shop where he finished up the build. We added FabFour front and rear bumpers as well as a Fab Four Safari Rack. In the front bumper there is a 12,000lb winch. On the safari rack there are 4 50 inch light bars front and rear facing. On the side of the rack there are an additional 4 2x2 LED lights right and left facing. All lights are wired into lighted toggles on the dash. We added a 3.5 Rough Country lift followed by 305/55 20 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ tires. The tires have less than 200 miles on them. The wheels are Fuel Coupler 20s. We then put power trailer tow 2500 mirrors on. Also put matching smoked headlights and taillights. Put running boards soon after that. I am sure I am missing some stuff but I tried to list all that has been done.

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.")
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
