Allen Jackson has had his share of American Classics over the years. However when he first saw this 57' Belair Convertible, he knew he had to have it. Unfortunately, for Allen it wasn't for sale.
The car was being stored by the widower of the man who had owned it for many years. He asked the woman to promise that when she was ready to sell it, she would give him a chance at buying it. Allen called the woman once a year for 16 years, until one day she decided to keep her promise and gave Allen a chance to buy it. Well the rest is history as you can see by the grin on Allen's face............Wow!! Chevy does Run Deep................
We had some great news via an announcement by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS). Recently, CMS made the decision based on budget cuts to eliminate the majority of middle school athletic programs. Many community leaders, educators, students and parents were very concerned about how the youth in Charlotte would be negatively impacted if middle school sports were eliminated. True, some kids in more affluent areas could make up for the lack of school athletics in rec leagues, however kids in low-income families can't always afford it, or have one or both parents working, and simply don't have time. Well that has all changed, and a big thanks is owed to Charlotte businessman and NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick. A $250,000 donation directly to the middle school athletic programs has come from Hendrick Automotive.
The official CMS Press Release:
Teenagers and parents in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area received great news today thanks to Mr. Hendrick. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) announced a $250,000 sponsorship from Hendrick Automotive Group and Hendrickcars.com to support middle school sports. Due to budget shortfalls, CMS drastically cut the middle school sports program. The contribution, along with a gift from an unidentified source, provides enough funding for the school system to provide a full slate of 13 sports at the district’s 32 middle schools for the upcoming school year.

Sound experts use advanced technologies to make 2013 Malibu cabin quiet.
A room full of audiophiles may not agree on a single style of music, but most concur that ordinary MP3 player ear buds don’t have the technology to deliver concert-quality sound. Likewise, Chevrolet noise engineers threw out conventional tools to evaluate the interior sound quality of the all-new 2013 Malibu sedan.
In the intensely competitive midsize car segment, customers expect refined, quiet interiors. The challenge for engineers is that sound – like music – is very subjective, and people respond to it differently. “To tune the sound properties to appeal to the widest possible audience, we need to make sure everyone hears the same thing,” said Kara Gordon, Malibu’s lead acoustic engineer.
Gordon and her fellow engineers are using better sound reproduction in the lab to help make the 2013 Malibu sedan one of the most refined and quiet midsize sedans available when it launches early next year.
They are doing this by equipping pre-production Malibus with a mannequin-like recording device called an Aachen HEAD. Named for the headquarters of Head Acoustics GmbH in Aachen, Germany, the head is a digital recording tool that closely matches the way humans process sound with both their ears. The Aachen HEAD technology preserves the binaural attributes of the sound, regardless of whether it’s inside or outside of a moving vehicle.
The device mimics the head of an average-sized person and incorporates specially calibrated, highly accurate digital microphones in each ear position. The microphones use a precise, 24-bit recording resolution to enable dynamic range equal with human hearing.
The Aachen HEAD is typically belted into the passenger seat or rear seat farthest from the driver. The recordings are made as the test Malibus are driven on a variety of road surfaces at a range of speeds.
At General Motors’ “Jury Room” in Milford, Mich., groups of engineers listen to the Malibu’s interior noise recordings and rate them on several criteria.
The Jury Room is equipped with a high-fidelity audio playback system that features Stax SR-303 electrostatic ear speakers. Unlike those little white buds, the large, rectangular Stax units fit over the ear and feature a large, translucent electrostatic film for precise sound reproduction.
The stock ear buds that come with a digital music player can reproduce sounds from a low end of 20 Hz to a maximum of 20,000 Hz, but all audio devices experience distortion as they approach the limits of their range.
In contrast, the Stax ear speakers’ range goes from just 7 Hz all the way up to 41,000 Hz, well beyond the range of the human ear. However, that extra head room means the speakers are always closer to their sweet spot for the sounds we can hear. That means everyone evaluating the sounds of a Malibu or any other Chevrolet hears the same sounds, regardless of which set of ear speakers is used, giving the engineers more consistent feedback on sound quality.
“The typical acoustic memory of the human ear to discern subtle yet important differences is about 10 seconds – or about the time it takes to go from one vehicle to another. The Aachen HEAD, our Jury Room and high-tech headphones make it possible for us to give our Malibu customers the quietest, most pleasing interior sound quality possible,” said Gordon.
The new Malibu will feature components that prevent tire, wind and road noise from entering the cabin. Several components such as noise-reducing outside rear view mirrors, laminated side glass and noise-absorption pads are strategically placed to make the cabin quiet and improve the overall quality inside.

GM works to prevent problems with manual transmissions and prevent expensive recalls.
PONTIAC, Mich.– Woodward Avenue became the first concrete highway in the world in 1909. Three years later, the first electric traffic light was installed on the road that runs from downtown Detroit to downtown Pontiac.
A lesser known historical fact is that Woodward Avenue driving styles have helped improve transmission durability by inspiring a test procedure based on the rigors of strip driving.
GM sent engineers to Woodward Avenue as early as 1967 to simulate some of the tortures placed on manual transmissions and “street” testing has become the norm. The test procedure combines elements of the worst-case shifting style of some manual transmission customers, including repeated high-torque launches and high-rev shifts.
“We’ve been evolving the Woodward test to make sure our transmissions live through repeated performance-style shifting,” said Brad Bur, GM assistant chief engineer for manual transmissions. “Of course we encourage safe driving, but we know burnouts and quick shifting are the reality. We have to design and engineer our transmissions to succeed in every possible scenario, including the street.”
Transmission components like clutches and gears have been dramatically improved over the years through tests like the Woodward test, which is responsible for a nearly 600-percent increase in flawless transmission shift cycles.
“This is one of the ways we are able to offer one of the best powertrain warranties in the business,” said Bur. “We use this test on all our performance manual transmissions like those found in the ChevroletCorvette and Camaro.”
Woodward Avenue is home of the Dream Cruise, a vintage car cruise that dates to the cruising heydays of the 1950s and 1960s. It takes place along Woodward Avenue in Detroit and its northern suburbs. The Dream Cruise routinely gathers more than 1.5 million participants and spectators to celebrate the automotive heritage of the Motor City.

The Chevrolet Cruze is the most fuel efficient gas-only vehicle in America.Hendrick Chevrolet Cadillac in Monroe, NC has a large inventory, with the ability to order any color/option combination.
Even though the2011 Chevrolet Cruzeis so popular it became thebest-selling compactin America just months after its launch, and the Cruze Eco is so economical that it’s actually the most fuel-efficient gas-only vehicle in the country, Chevy wasn’t about to rest on its laurels. Instead, engineers worked diligently to make the 2012 Cruze even more fuel efficient—and succeeded.
Thanks to a revised axle ratio, the 2012 Cruze Eco with its standard 1.4-liter turbochargedEcotec engineand available six-speed automatic transmission will be able to achieve up to 43 mpg highway, while the standard Cruze with the same powertrain will be able to reach 38 mpg highway.The optional manual 6 speed Cruze Eco can manage 50mpg on the highway!
Said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing: “Fuel economy is the top reason customers buy a compact and the Cruze’s greater efficiency for 2012 makes it all the more attractive.”
But that’s not all that’s new for the new model year. In addition to increasing the Cruze’s fuel economy, Chevy also is increasing its value by incorporating one of 2011’s most popular option packages into the car’s already long list of standard features. The new content includes:
Bluetooth phone connectivity
A USB port
Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls
Cruise control
A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
And remember, this is on top of standard equipment like air conditioning, remote keyless entry, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system with a three-month complimentary subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio, power windows, a fuel-saving rack-mounted electric power steering system and a segment-best 10 air bags.
“Chevrolet is committed to responding to what customers want and making it easier for them,” said Scheidt. “Adding these previously optional features streamlines the ordering process and answers the call of what our customers told us should be standard.”
