Here are some more information for Cadillac Chevrolet:
The 57 Chevy Bel Air has been called 'the most popular car in history', and given the fact that this Chevrolet was actually outsold by the Ford Thunderbird the year of its launch, that is some accolade.
Baby Cadillac in Style
'Baby Cadillac' in style the 1957 Chevrolet was described in a memorable Chevy ad as 'sweet, smooth and sassy'. The Chevy was not just part of the American dream, it was beamed into homes all over the world through its many TV appearances, hence it became part of a larger more global dream.
57 Chevy Fins
Was it the fins or was it the fact that the Chevy 57 became the car of choice for every high school kid around the world in the 60's that made these cars the collectible icons they have become today? That there were only ever 47,566 Bel Airs produced, also contributes to their gold like preciousness.
Where did the Bel Air name come from? In previous years the deluxe versions of the Chevrolet hardtops were nicknamed Bel Air. This stuck and Chevrolet liked it so much they launched it as its own very distinct series.
These Chevys were easily identifiable. The new tail fins and the addition of 2 ½ inches to the length gave them a longer, lower and wider appearance; a decrease from 15 to 14 inch wheels and a big new bumper grille made them one of the most attractive productions of that decade.
The 57 Bel Air was originally designed in 1954 for a 55 launch and was considered at the time to be a welcome bold new look for the company. It was a steal with a starting price of $1095, when you consider that a subscription to a good car magazine almost costs that today. The most famous model with the V-8 engine in 57, packed an amazing 1 horsepower per cubic inch (a first for a mass produced car at the time), giving this car speed as well as killer looks.
Chevy Put the Purr Back in Performance
The sound emitted from the dual exhausts of the 57 became synonymous with the sound of a cat purring, confirming this was an ad placed in a premier Chevrolet magazine at the time announcing to all that 'Chevy puts the purr back in performance'.
It is no wonder that the 1957 Chevy Bel Air went on to become one of the most collectible post war cars in history.
The 57 Chevy Pickup with its open mouth design became one of America's most loved pickups, an icon of American automotive history and a favorite with classic pickup buffs.
The 1957 Chevy Trucks are a sight to behold often seen in many states at Car Shows. Every year they become more of a rarity and every time we go to another Car Show and see one freshly restored to its original beauty it brings back many fond memories. It truly must be one of the most loved of all the old pickup trucks to collect.

Cadillac Escalade May Soon Have a Hybrid
The auto industry is doing its earnest to come up with fuel efficient and environment-friendly vehicles. After all, the demand for such automobiles has been increasing in the past years. With that in mind, it is no surprise that existing nameplates are now being offered with hybrid versions. The Toyota Camry, Ford Escape, the Honda Accord and the like are now being marketed with hybrid variants.
Even the large SUVs from General Motors are now being offered with hybrid versions. The GMC Yukon and the Chevrolet Tahoe have their own hybrid powertrains. The latest nameplate though to be rumored to be having a hybrid variant is the iconic Cadillac Escalade. This full-size luxury sport utility vehicle is known for its gas-guzzling engine that is why seeing a hybrid version of the Escalade is a surprise to many.
It was reported recently that a hybrid version of the Escalade is being tested by General Motors’ engineers at the Nevada Desert. While the vehicle being tested is just a prototype, the fact that Cadillac has already produced a more fuel efficient version of the Escalade means that the car manufacturer may soon be mass producing hybrid Escalades.
According to reports, the prototype being tested by engineers in the deserts of Nevada only has a few badges to signify that it is a hybrid vehicle. What this means is that the hybrid version of the Escalade looks just like the ordinary Escalades that we see today. Inside the vehicle, a more revealing badge on its tachometer shows that the vehicle is indeed a hybrid.
According to General Motors, the Cadillac Escalade’s internal combustion engine will be assisted by a couple of electric motors. Unlike the smaller Ford Escape Hybrid, the Escalade will need more power and torque to push its huge frame. The two electric motors will result in an increase in fuel efficiency by 25 percent. This means that those people who can afford this SUV with its Cadillac Escalade header will not be troubled by the increasing prices of gasoline as compared to those who own a conventional gasoline engine-powered Escalade.
The Escalade Hybrid will be using General Motors’ two mode hybrid system. According to General Motors, the first mode of the hybrid powertrain is used during low speed and light load operation. During these circumstances, the Escalade can be powered by electric power only, engine power only, or by a combination of electric and engine power.
The first mode gives the Escalade the increased fuel efficiency that one would expect from a hybrid vehicle. When using electric power only, the engine is automatically shut off thus no fuel is consumed. Using electric power only is common on city driving when abrupt stop and go traffic is experienced.
The second mode is used during high speed operations. The couple of electric motor provides increased fuel economy as well as it provides power and torque thus reducing the demand on the internal combustion engine of the Escalade. Other fuel saving technologies that are incorporated into the engine of the hybrid Escalade are cam phasing, late-intake valve closure and Active Fuel Management system. All these technologies provide better fuel efficiency for the hybrid vehicle.
No release dates have been confirmed by General Motors for the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. It is expected though that the hybrid Escalade will be introduced as a 2009 model year vehicle.

When did they stop building real cars?
When did they stop making cars out of metal and switched over to plastic? I'd like to know so that way I can figure out the death of the auto industry and when my cars' children died. (I have a 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1964 Cadillac Coupe Deville).
I do not count those plastic cars they make nowadays as real cars.
1974, around the time of the first oil embargo. And I had a 60 Chevy Bel Air when I was in high school! Unfortunately the frame rusted and I had to sell it off.
