Written by Ken Altes

Larry Smith has  a lot of cars, and he is selling a bunch of them.  He is in Liberty Hill (a few miles beyond Leander) with his 60 or so collector cars. Here is a partial list of his cars for sale.  I really like this car.  Here are more details on it priced at $28,500.  This lovely Chevy is powered by a 350 hp small block V8 and a three speed auto.1949 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible For Sale in Liberty Hill, Texas, 1949 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible For Sale engine1949 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible For Sale interior1949 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible For Sale in Liberty Hill TX

1946 Chevrolet Suburban at Bastrop Car Show

Written by Ken Altes

This is the last year of this GMC/Chevrolet Carryall Suburban style, running from 1941 to 1946, mostly used for war transport.  The Chevrolet Suburban had a 216-cubic-inch 6-cylinder engine while the GMC version a 228-cubic-inch 6-cylinder engine.  I don’t think the original engine survived in this example: there is an exhaust pipe in front of the rear wheel. (But, notice that the sales brochure has artfully chopped the roof — which one is the custom?)1946 Chevrloet Suburban, Bastrop TX Car Show copy1946 Chevrolet GM Suburban
