Chevrolets Paints The HHR Black
Filed Under Chevy Cars | Comments Off
Chevrolet did not think that their Chevrolet HHR vehicle model would actually become as popular as it is now. In fact, the brand is very much willing to admit that this vehicle has not been one of their top priorities when it comes to marketing and advertisements. But it looks like Chevrolet has now learned about the great possibilities this vehicle model could bring to the company and right now the company is expecting to sell 100,000 units this coming 2007.
And what could be more interesting than bringing out a special edition Chevrolet HHR so as to further bring up the sales of the mentioned vehicle. Everything remains the same with the vehicle

Courtesy Chevrolet Partners with Ask Patty to Market to Women Consumers

Courtesy Chevrolet, owned and operated by the same locally based family since 1955, will embrace the Ask Patty concept.
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) April 16, 2007 — Courtesy Chevrolet, owned and operated by the same locally based family since 1955, will embrace the Ask Patty concept. Courtesy Chevrolet owes this distinction to their high level of customer service and outstanding reputation of total customer satisfaction. Courtesy Chevrolets partnership with Ask Patty represents an increased commitment to the female car buyer to provide a safe and comfortable buying experience.
Edward J. Fitzgerald opened Courtesy Chevrolet in 1955 in an old farmhouse on East Camelback Road. In the years since that first store opening, the dealership has moved and expanded considerably, to include new service bays and storage, as well as a large and comfortable showroom. Courtesy Chevrolet employs almost four hundred people. All of their employees have helped the dealership to build and maintain a great reputation in the Valley of the Sun, and the State of Arizona.
“Women purchase half of the Chevrolet vehicles sold in the United States each year, spending billions of dollars in new car purchases. Yet, shopping for and buying a car can be a challenge for women in the Phoenix area who are first time car buyers or who have had a bad experience in the past with a stereotypical car salesman or old school dealership,” stated Scott Gruwell, Courtesys New Chevrolet Sales Director. “Courtesy Chevrolet is proud to have hired women sales professionals and to have provided our designated AskPatty.com sales team with the training necessary to be certified by the AskPatty.com team as a female friendly dealership.”
Mark and Scott Gruwells decision to partner with Ask Patty reflects the kind of forward thinking needed to deliver consistent outstanding results in customer satisfaction and sales growth to this important consumer segment.
Women represent over half of all vehicles sold annually in the United States with revenues topping $80 billion every year. Until Ask Patty, there hasnt really been a website exclusively devoted to their needs and concerns.

Classic Chevy’s - 1956 Chevrolet - Part 2
Filed Under Chevy Cars | Comments Off
Chevrolet planed to keep its remarkable reputation for style, more power and more refinements going strong in 1956. “The Hot One’s Even Hotter”! “Loves to go - and looks it!” declared one 1956 ad campaign. The 1956 Chevrolet was bigger and more important looking. Although the basic body shell that was new in 1955 remained the same, detail changes were made to increase the car’s already large appeal.
Major styling changes involved the grille, tail lights and side trim. The 1955 Chevrolet grille was very clean looking and the lattice work effect remained on the ‘56 but it was widened, parking lights were enlarged and it was raked slightly in on the bottom. At the rear, large chrome plated tail light housings were added. Each housed a round pointed tail light, a rectangular backup lamp and a small reflector. Access to the gas tank was through the driver side tail light housing. Larger front and rear chrome bumpers gave the illusion of greater length. Stainless body moldings were redesigned on all three body styles. The moldings served as a natural division points for two-tone paint jobs that were very popular on the 1955 and 1956 Chevy.
Chevrolet offered 19 different body styles on the Bel Air, Two-Ten and One-Fifty, three more than in 1955. A new Bel Air Sport Sedan 4 door hard top, Two-Ten Sport Sedan 4 door hard top and a Two-Ten Beauville 9 passenger 4 door station wagon were added. The best seller among the ‘56 Bel Air’s was the four door sedan and Sport Coupe. The 1956 Sport Coupe 2 door hard top has always been a very popular car among collectors. The Nomad was back in 1956 and was described as a sport station wagon due to it 2 doors, great styling and color choices. The 1956 Chevrolet color options were 10 solid colors and 14 two-tone combinations. Popular solid colors were onyx black and matador red, while india ivory / dusk plum and india ivory / twilight turquoise were popular two-tones.
The new “Super Turbo Fire” V-8 was the existing 1955 Chevy 265 cubic inch with a special power pack kit consisting of a special intake manifold, higher lift cam, dual exhausts and a four barrel carburetor. This kit increased the horsepower to 205 which was 14 percent above the 1955 engine at 180 horsepower. If you wanted more power Chevrolet offered a 2-4 barrel (2-four’s) that achieved 225 horsepower. In 1956 Chevy was beginning to win the horsepower war both on and off the race track.
Accessories were a big hit in 1955 and with the 1956 Chevrolet. For the first time you could add seat belts. All weather air conditioning was an option at $430.00. Other items included compass, traffic light viewer and Kool Kooshions.
