Chevy never made a flathead straight-6. Ever since the "Stovebolt-6" debuted in 1929, it had overhead valves. It also had more horsepower and torque than Ford's upcoming flathead V-8 ever had, year for year.
Also, Chevy cribbed off of the Trail Duster a couple of decades later with the Trail Blazer!
Week of the off-brands
My favorite Daewoo are the Espero and the Matiz, but of course they sold neither of those in the U.S. and they're probably not worth importing, so I'll never live my dream of buying a cheap Espero or Matiz as a daily runabout.
Many SBC swaps into the Vega resulted in a cracked windshield if the frame wasn't tied in.
That's a Plymouth Trail Duster! Even rarer (and dare I say better) than a Ramcharger! Sah-WEET.
Montana doesn’t salt as much as other northern states so older stuff sitting around up here isn’t as rotten as one might think. My cj2, k5, c10 and 54 fleetwood all came from fields. You guys should do a lemons rally route up here sometime
Yo man, I wanna be str8 pimpin' in a DaeWOOWOO!!!
My wife had a 2002 Daewoo Nubira from 2004 to 2019…it only had 8,000 miles and we bought it for $4,000. We'll never get a dollar-per-mile deal like that again.
Less drug criminal more human trafficker.
Chevy 6's were all OHV from 1939 on, if memory serves.
The Astre wagon reminds me of my friend’s first car, a Vega wagon. Metallic Green paint, rear window inserts, Cragar S/S mags, custom dome light (green) and I’ll embellish a bit and say it had green angel hair headliner. In other words, pretty sweet for the Malaise Era.
Nature, which abhors vacuums and nice paint jobs, saw fit to arrange a T-bone collision at a stop sign a few weeks after he bought it.
Tragic, but also an entree for a successor vehicle, which was a Monza. Thanks to a shift kit and cherry bomb exhaust, he had a four-banger that could bark the tires and was annoying as any Honda/Supertrapp malfeasance from the 1990s.
WOW a pontiac DISASTRE it wasn't the mile per gallon of gas BUT the quarts per mile of engine oil LOLOLOL :))
Jokes on you, millions of "Daewoos" are sold in the US, they are just badged as GM now.
The Fleetlines of that era didn't change much. When I was a kid my broke parents bought a used one, which is to say we lived on the edge of Lake Erie and the floor was so rusted out we couldn't put our feet on it, but we could watch the pavement passing along beneath us. It was 9 years old when we got it.
49 was a body change for the Big3.
My ffriend has a Pontiac Astre in run for over 25 years with service.
That Astre wagon is begging for a v8 and a life on the dragstrip. I remember one in my town in the mid 80's was done right. Full frame chassis, tubs, and a blown small block. It was a nice deep metallic blue. Nice car.
That Lanos picture angle make it look like they built it around a preexisting door from another model. Shooting brake Astre and Expo show how close we got to getting the wagon right before everybody's view got blocked by giant Trucks so the height wars began,
Fun stuff, thanks guys. (but really; STOVEBOLT = Goggle it.)
Gentlemen, always a pleasure.
Great timing on that D500. One of today's Rocky Mountain Breakdown checkpoints is across the street. Someone should see if the truck is still there, buy it, finish the rally with it, and DOMINATE.
It wasnt called a Daewoo Nubera, it was a Nubria (Nu-BREA)
Good call on the Pontiac Astre. I mean, a DisAstre movie theme is practically built in! Toss in a decent engine and transmission and dominate!
