Best Car Deal in Town

According to a blog article in the United Kingdom, GM and the Corvette engineers were thinking of launching a mid-engine Corvette, sometime this decade. But GM’s Karl Stracke, Vice-President of Global Engineering said that’s not going to happen. One things for sure. The engineers at GM were working with the engineers at Saab to develop a mid-engine type transmission reportedly for the Corvette. No confirmation can be given to state that the Corvette will in fact re-invent itself into a mid-engine car.  The best thing we can do is to “Stay Tuned”.

There have been many changes at GM in the last year, it’s hard to say what’s next. I’m sure there are many more changes ahead. If you want to change your present vehicle for any new or used GM vehicle or any other name brand…just call 503-643-4585 or Click Bob Bonnell @ BestCarDealinTown.com.  It really is “A Better Way to Buy ANY Car”.

Way back in 1950…things were different. Cars were different, people were different. Almost anything you point to today either didn’t exist…or was brand new…your TV for example. Only 52% of all homes in the US had a TV. But virtually everyone did have one car. Henry Ford saw to that in the early part of the Century with mass production using standardized parts. The family car became affordable. Cars had carburetors back then. Fuel injection didn’t start until the late Fifties…and then only on race cars. All cars were domestic. Well 99% of them were. No one had any idea what an import was other than a Jaguar or an MG. VW was just barely known. I like to think cars had individual personalities back then. You could easily tell a Cadillac from a Mercury from a Chrysler. Kids loved to watch for their favorite car coming past them while they rode with Mom and Dad. Well cars may be more accessible to people today, but I’ll take a 1950 Cadillac Convertible any day.

The Dodge Viper which has been built since 1992 has run it’s course. Their last one was built Thursday July 1st, 2010. Many of these reside in the Jay Leno collection. One of the most powerful cars ever built by Chrysler Corporation is gone. At least that’s the official word for now. More than 400 Viper owners were on hand for the completion of the last one, including the new owners of that car. D’ann Rauh and husband were on hand to drive their new and final Viper off the assembly line. They currently have the largest collection of them with 40 to their credit.  If you’d like to own anpiece of history and put a Viper in your cage…just call 503-643-4585 or click Bob Bonnell @BestCarDealinTown.com to get a “Better Way to Buy any Car”.

The fun started way back in 1939. The NEW Mercury Division was created by Henry Ford Sr and Edsel Ford. It was a great idea to introduce an upscale Ford, but priced less than a Lincoln. The War years interupted production for 4and 1/2 years. But in 1946 Mercury started to become a household word. The Mercury of 1949 set the World on it’s ear. Radical but well accepted styling put it right in high demand with the public. And who would ever forget James Dean’s ride in one when he made “Rebel without a Cause”.

Unfortunately memories don’t make money. Ford neglected the Mercury Division for so many years, that there is no way to bring her back. But across town General Motors did the same thing to Pontiac and Saturn…so there’s plenty of blame to go around.  Now Lincoln-Mercury dealers wonder what’s in store for them next. Very few will be able to survive on just selling Lincolns. It will take some time to sort out, but it will reconstitute next year after the final build date is over.

With the price of gas falling, once again, many people are beginning to wonder what size car they really should buy? If you don’t need a lot of space for kids, camping gear and other stuff. You might want to consider a small compact car.  The economy car will always be in style in one way or another. Gas can go up and down, but good common sense economy will never go out of style. If it’s just you or you and one other person in the vehicle most of the time, why have a full size SUV??   There’s no point.

Right now you can choose from a variety of small cars,  including the upcoming entirely electric vehicle from Nissan called the Leaf.  Why not get out ahead of the pack…be innovative and go green. Hybrids are a great deal now too. There’s no limit on the number of choices you have to rightsize your car. White cars are always better in hot climates and Summer time, they reflect heat. They don’t absorb it like dark colors do. This way you can keep you cool, longer.
