(March 16, 2016) LOS ANGELES — Chevrolet has unveiled the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado Shoreline designed for customers in the heart of the midsize pickup truck market.

“The new Colorado ignited the midsize pickup market, accounting for 74 percent of the growth in the segment in 2015,” said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet truck marketing director. “This year, we are continuing that momentum with the Shoreline edition designed specifically for customers in the segment’s biggest market.”

(March 16, 2016) WALWORTH, Wis. — Mecum Auctions’ momentum into 2016 continued in Kansas City last weekend following the company’s highest-grossing sale in history in January. The auction house’s annual spring auction held March 11-12 at the Kansas City Convention Center saw 572 vehicles cross the auction block with 409 classic and collector cars hammering sold for a strong 72-percent sell-through rate.

Ford retained the basic design of its 1942 model when it got back into production in 1946 following the end of World War II. One of the few changes was to the grille, a series of horizontal bars. The 1942 Ford had a vertical bar design. And Ford eliminated its low-priced Special sixes, which left it with six- and eight-cylinder DeLuxe and Super DeLuxe models. This 1946 Ford two-door patiently waits beside a road for someone to rescue it from abandonment and neglect. Notice someone has changed out the original hood ornament for a 1950's model.
