I am selling my 1951 chevrolet pickup. This truck is a nice original which has had a repaint some years ago. The paint is quite nice overall with some checking and some chips. The undercarriage is original with light surface rust (no heavy rust and frame and cross members are clean) the engine is the original chevrolet six cylinder 216 cubic inch. The truck starts, runs and stops as it should. The bed is clean with a older varnish job. the cab corners which are normally a rust through problem are solid with no issues. the floor of the truck cab is solid. The door bottoms are original and have not been patched or messed with. the truck has the original six volt system with working gauges and lights. The truck has a sun visor and radio as options (cannot make the radio play}. The tires are bias ply wide white walls with good tread. The spare is under the truck bed on the spare tire carrier. This truck is quite rare in that it is original, no rust through, and has not been taken apart and tampered with. The only work that I can tell is that it was painted several years ago. The interior of the cab is quite nice with a good headliner and nice firm seat and nice floormat. the bumpers are correct with no dents. Overall, this truck would be a great vehicle to drive as is or would be a easy restoration (new paint) to be a show vehicle. I would encourage bidders to look at the truck in person, if possible, to verify the quality of the pickup. Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have. I am listing the truck with a reasonable reserve. The truck is being sold as is with no warranty either expressed or implied. I will require a $500 non- refundable deposit via paypal within 24 hours and the balance in full within 7 days after the auction ends. The pickup would be ready to be picked up or shipped once the funds clear my bank. If you would have it shipped, I could assist the shipper. You can reach me at 231-264-6757 or email me at mbhejh@chartermi.net

The radio works as originally intended. It is a a.m. radio and is the original tube type and needs to warm up to play which takes about a minute or two. I never let it warm up sufficiently to let it work. my mistake.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
