1926 Chevrolet, 1 ton, Series X:
This is a stunning example of a 1926 Chevrolet 1 Ton Truck in the true form in which it came from the factory, and has been preserved in its original condition over the past 88 years. The exterior wood, wheels and fenders, hardware, nuts and bolts have been untouched and retain their original patina which has aged the truck gracefully. The tires have been replaced sometime throughout its life. All the glass is period correct, but unable to verify its orginality. The original vinyl roof looks to have been replaced at one time with original type "cobra" grain material. The interior also retains all of the original wood, steering wheel, all gauges, pedals, windshield wiper, gas tank under seat and tilt windshield. The seat has been reupholstered with leather but maintains its original spring base. Equipped with the original 171 cu in, 4 cylinder engine, with only 8,800 original miles showing on the working odometer and floor mounted three speed manual transmission. The motor has replaced plugs, wires, hoses, fuel lines, fuel filter and water pump replaced, along with a carburetor and fuel vacuum pump rebuild. Maintenance of all fluids, oils and greases seem to have always been checked thoroughly. The undercarraige has also been preserved consistent with the rest of the truck. When I purchased the truck it retained all of its original cloth wiring, but I chose to rewire the entire truck with the original colored coded cloth wiring for safety reasons. The truck starts, runs and drives, but at this point has been maintained merely as a piece of history. I do have the (2) sliding doors, one is intact and the other is disassembled. Will take a little work to get them back in order, but all the pieces seem to be there and they have the same patina.
This rare 1926 Chevrolet 1 ton is by far one of the oldest and most original "vehicles" a person will ever find and is sure to make a statement in any museum or personal collection. I have enjoyed the truck in my collection for several years and the time has come to pass it on to the next caretaker, as did my predecessors.
Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the truck for sale locally.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and I will get back to you as soon as time allows.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
