Review of cars under 2000::What do car dealers do with unsold new cars?








General               Motors               was               founded               in               1908               by               Billy               Durant               and               is               currently               owned               by               the               United               States               Department               of               Treasury.

In               GM's               102               years               of               production               it               has               created               thousands               of               individual               models.

Here               are               10               that               make               GM               proud.

The               1912               Cadillac               put               women               behind               the               wheel.

With               early               automobiles,               starting               the               engine               was               both               difficult               and               dangerous               and               almost               unanimously               a               man's               job.

In               1911               the               electric               self-starter               was               invented.

The               inventor               was               Charles               Kettering,               known               to               many               as               "Boss"               Kettering.

Kettering               owned               and               operated               (DELCO)               Dayton               Engineering               Laboratories               Company.

Negotiations               between               Kettering               and               GM's               Cadillac               division               were               made               and               in               1912               all               7               Cadillac               models               were               introduced               to               the               public               with               self-starters.

Cadillac               won               a               Dewar               trophy               for               the               most               important               contribution               to               the               field               of               automotives               for               the               year.

By               1916               only               2%               of               American               cars               were               being               built               without               self-starters.

In               1916               Kettering               sold               DELCO               to               GM               and               in               1918               he               went               to               work               for               them               as               a               full               time               employee.
               The               model               30               1910               Cadillac               put               an               end               to               being               covered               by               mud               when               it               rained               and               being               hit               in               the               head               and               chest               by               flying               rocks               and               gravel.

It               was               the               first               mass               produced               closed               body               automobile.

Before               this               GM               innovation               most               cars               had               neither               windshields               nor               tops.

Going               for               a               ride               in               the               rain,               sleet,               snow               or               hail               was               not               a               comfortable               experience.

The               1910               Cadillac               model               30               offered               a               30               horse               power,               4               cylinder               engine               at               a               cost               under               $2000.

Like               most               other               cars               of               the               era               it               came               equipped               with               a               tire               repair               kit,               side               oil               lamps,               1               tail               light               and               its               own               tool               kit.

By               1920               the               closed               body               feature               was               available               on               almost               every               vehicle               produced               by               American               manufacturers.
               The               1936               Opel               Olympia               introduced               a               unitized               assembly,               giving               it's               passengers               an               extra               smooth               ride.

Opel               originated               as               a               German               automobile               manufacturer               and               was               purchased               by               GM               in               1929.

The               1936               Opel               Olympia,               named               after               the               1936               Olympic               games               was               the               first               car               built               as               one               unit.

This               new               process               was               called               unibody.

Both               frame               and               body               were               created               as               one               uniform               piece.

This               Opel               came               equipped               with               a               4               cylinder               engine               and               offered               24               horse               power.

It               could               reach               the               speed               of               60               miles               per               hour.

Unitized               assembly               is               used               extensively               today.
               The               1950               Saab               92               was               the               most               aerodynamic               drag               co-efficient               car               of               it's               time.

Few               2010               cars               can               compare               to               its               efficiency.

Saab               was               originally               a               Swedish               airplane               and               jet               fighter               manufacturer.

After               World               War               II               there               was               little               demand               for               their               product.

They               made               the               decision               to               develop               an               automobile               from               an               aerodynamic               approach.

In               1949               they               presented               the               Saab               02               with               a               2               cylinder               engine               offering               25               horse               power.

Using               their               old               aircraft               plant               as               their               production               site,               they               could               only               produce               and               assemble               4               cars               a               day               and               they               were               all               painted               what               has               come               to               be               called               Saab               green.

In               1950               they               made               upgrades               to               the               model               and               the               name               calling               the               new               version               the               Saab               92.

Again               in               1956               additional               upgrades               were               made               and               it               became               the               Saab               93.

GM               owned               Saab               from               1989               until               2010               at               which               time               they               sold               Saab               to               Spyker               a               Dutch               super               car               producer.
               In               1927               LaSalle               began               the               era               of               custom               designed               production               cars.

The               wealthy               had               always               paid               professional               designers               to               create               their               custom               cars               as               "               one               of               a               kinds."               In               1937               the               Cadillac               division               of               GM               hired               Harley               Earl               an               outside               custom               designer               to               create               a               new               design               exclusively               for               them.

Harley               created               the               LaSalle               which               came               equipped               with               a               V-8               engine.

The               LaSalle               reached               speeds               of               95               miles               per               hour               and               was               priced               under               $3000.

The               project               was               such               a               success               that               Harley               joined               GM               as               a               full               time               employee.

He               created               the               first               "inside"               design               studio               which               came               to               be               called               the               GM               art               and               color               section.

Cadillac               produced               and               marketed               the               LaSalle               until               1940.

The               move               from               in-house               draftsman               design               to               professional               designer               changed               the               industry               dramatically.

The               full               effects               of               this               change               were               not               fully               realized               until               after               the               depression.
               GM               developed               the               Chevrolet               brand               name               in               1917.

With               the               introduction               of               the               1955               Chevy               Bel               Air               the               automobile               industry               went               beyond               custom               design.

The               Chevy               Bel               Air               brought               in               the               "bling."               The               Bel               Air               entered               the               market               ,               "stylin'               and               profilin'               "               and               could               be               purchased               complete               with               fins               and               curves               at               around               $1800.

The               Bel               Air               presented               a               265               cubic               inch               V-8               engine.

It               could               be               purchased               with               dual               exhaust               offering               280               horse               power.

GM               sold               760,000               Bel               Airs               the               first               year.

The               Bel               Airs               promotion               slogan               read,               "               Try               this               for               sighs."
               The               1964               Pontiac               GTO               was               America's               first               high               performance               "muscle               car."               The               goal               at               GM               was               to               produce               a               mid-size               body               capable               of               handling               the               largest               displacement               engine               available.

GM               took               a               Pontiac               Tempest               and               added               a               standard               389               cubic               inch               V-8               engine               which               provided               325               horse               power               and               with               this               the               GTO               was               born.

It               came               complete               with               14               inch               wheels,               dual               exhaust,               a               firm               suspension,               sporty               trim               and               hood               swoops.

GM               had               planned               to               produce               5000               units               the               first               year,               but               ended               up               selling               32,000               with               customers               across               the               country               on               waiting               lists.

Understanding               that               Ronnie               and               the               Daytona's               song               "               Little               GTO"               sold               over               one               million               copies               tells               the               rest               of               that               story               sufficiently.

GM               sold               their               Pontiac               division               in               2010.
               GM               purchased               Cadillac               in               1909               and               in               1930               unveiled               the               Cadillac               V-16               at               the               New               York               auto               show.

GM               gave               no               advance               notice               of               their               new               model               which               took               the               United               States               automotive               market               by               storm.

It               was               the               first               V-16               cylinder               car               to               be               mass               produced               and               offered               more               power               than               any               other               luxury               car               on               the               market.

Only               4000               were               ever               built               and               the               project               was               discontinued               in               1940               due               the               economic               effects               of               the               Great               Depression.

The               1930               Cadillac               V-16               was               the               automobile               that               defined               Cadillac               as               the               luxury               car               leader               of               the               world.

Anyone               owning               a               Cadillac               V-16               today               truly               owns               a               classic.
               The               1953               Chevy               Corvette               made               owning               a               sports               car               affordable.

It               was               the               first               car               ever               produced               with               a               fiberglass               body,               Unlike               steel               the               fiberglass               was               so               flexible               that               it               allowed               GM               engineers               to               design               sporty               contour               lines               for               mass               production.

The               Corvette               provided               150               horse               power               in               a               6               cylinder               engine               that               went               from               zero               to               60               in               only               11               seconds.

The               first               year               300               white               with               red               interior               Corvettes               were               built.

The               second               year               3640               Corvettes               were               produced               and               new               colors               were               introduced.
               The               1996               EV1               was               the               reintroduction               of               the               electric               car.

It               was               powered               by               rechargeable               batteries.

It               did               not               require               gasoline,               which               meant               no               fuel               tank               and               no               harmful               emissions.

This               GM               production               was               not               offered               for               sale.

It               was               distributed               on               a               lease               program               through               the               GM               Saturn               division               at               dealerships               in               California               and               Arizona.

Gm               produced               1000               electric               models.

The               program               was               discontinued               in               2003               because               production               costs               were               too               high               and               there               was               little               demand.

Today               a               single               EV1               model               is               on               display               at               the               Smithsonian               Institution's               National               Museum               of               American               History.
