1957 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe no post car.
I bought this from the second owner about four years ago and have probably put 1000 miles on it. I did add the Riddler Five spoke wheels but still have the original bias ply tires, steel wheels with hub caps that come with the car. Car has brand new tires as well.
The car has 45k miles on originally as I am told by the second owner that did the restoration on it many years ago. Older lacquer paint that still shines well but has a couple of small spots (dime/quarter size) that the paint chipped on, has some checking on the roof. 
Interior is perfect, no rips, no tears, no stains, very clean and original looking.
Exterior is nearly flawless with exception of the very small paint chips mentioned above.  There is not a bubble or rust spot on this car or the undercarriage.
Car has a stainless steel dual exhaust system on it.
Four speed muncie with 3:55 gears, gets up and goes pretty well.
Engine is a 283cu in with twin carter AFB's (sequentially numbered). The set up on the car is believed to be off a 1955-57 Corvette and is extremely rare, especially sequentially numbered. The motor could be original to the car however I am not able to see the numbers to match the engine to the car however you are welcome to look. 
The no post Bel Air Sport Coupe is one of the rarest and most desirable of the tri-fives.
 The chrome on the car is near perfect as is all of the glass. Undercarriage is extremely clean and there is really nothing this car needs.
You could not build this car for what I am asking, it is truly a turn key driver that will only continue to appreciate.
Available to be shown/driven/inspected if you are interested.

If you have questions on the car you are welcome to call me; Doug 508-958-7787.

The car is for sale  locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction early.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
