 Rolls Royce SUV Won't Be Huge...



Rolls-Royce has shed a little bit of insight into what we can expect from its upcoming SUV.
 
Called Project Cullinan internally, the British firm's first-ever off-roader will sit atop a brand new aluminum space frame. The architecture will allow it to offer the "magic carpet" ride that buyers have come to expect from Rolls-badged sedans, coupes, and convertibles for decades in spite of its raised ground clearance.
 
Speaking of ground clearance, the Cullinan won't be a monster truck, affirmed Adrian van Hooydonk, the head of BMW's design department. The design has been finalized, but the designer stopped short of revealing what the off-roader will look like.
 
Billed as a Rolls that customers can drive daily, the Cullinan will likely launched with a V12 engine that it will share with other members of the company's lineup. Rumors indicate the 12-cylinder will be joined by a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, but nothing is official at this point.
 
While Rolls-Royce has never dabbled in the SUV segment before, the firm points out that it has built more than a few all-terrain vehicles over the course of its long history.
 
"When the brand started, typically the cars had a lot of ground clearance and huge wheels, and were used by Maharajas and other people to drive from Europe to the Far East," said van Hooydonk in an interview with Top Gear magazine.
 
The Cullinan -- a name that might not be used on the production model -- is expected to make its official debut in 2018.

DFW Car Pro Dealer Classic Chevy is 
#1 In America...

With over 56 acres of real estate at their disposal typically holding over 3000 new Chevrolets, space isn't usually an issue for Classic Chevrolet...unless they're looking for more space to display their awards.  Five new trophies were presented to Classic including their 9th  #1 Volume Chevy Dealer in the U.S.A. award.  For the last 9 out of 10 years, Classic has outsold over 3000 other Chevy dealerships nationwide setting a new recent record for such an achievement. 

In addition to the national sales award, Classic received the Mark of Excellence award, which they have won every year since the program started.  Classic also received the 2015 GM Dealer of the Year award, which they have also won every year since that program started in 2001.   Bob Krapes, Regional Director for General Motors South Central Region, addressed the entire Classic team, "When you consider that there are 3015 Chevy dealers in the nation and only 50 are chosen annually to receive the prestigious Dealer of the Year award, the fact that you've won this every single year since it's inception is extraordinary. 

On behalf of everyone at GM, I want to congratulate all you for what you do every single day including sales, service, body shop, F&I, administration, make-ready...everyone. You're the number one volume dealership in the nation for good reason."

It is well known within the Classic Chevrolet organization that the success of the dealership stems from all of the efforts of each and every employee on a daily basis.  In a short speech, Tom Durant, owner of Classic Chevrolet thanked his team. "We couldn't have done this without each other.  Everyone in our industry is paying attention to what we do, and a lot of dealers are trying to copy us.  But all we have to do is just keep doing what we have been doing every day."  And that means Classic is definitely going to need a bigger trophy case.



 

  Classic Car Contest: Win an Auto Heat Shield!
We have had a lot of fun with our classic car contest on the Car Pro Show facebook page.  Kevin puts up a classic every Saturday morning, and we invite people to guess the year, make, and model.

  We will continue the contest but now there is a prize!  Each week, one luck winner will win a free Auto Heatshield!  If you have never seen the Auto Heatshield, it is a laser-cut, heavily insulated front windshield cover that gives you an exact fit, no matter what kind of car you drive.  Take a look here: www.autoheatshield.com .  I have one for every car I own and they are awesome.  Usually, the generic brands let the sun in, they fall down, and they look awful.  With Auto Heatshield, you just unroll it, place it in the windshield, and use your sun visors to hold it in place and completely block all the sun.

Here is how the contest works:
-Every Saturday morning around 8 AM Central, Kevin will post a picture of a classic car.
-Go to our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CarProShow , and if you have not done so yet, hit the "LIKE" button.
-Post your best guess of year, make, and model.
-Contest will end the following night (Sunday) at midnight Central time.
-All correct, complete entries will be eligible for a random drawing.
-Winner will be posted on Monday morning, and a certificate to get your free Auto Heatshield will be emailed to you.
 
CONGRATULATIONS to last week's winner:
Colin Ross of Houston, TX.
 
It's that simple!  You can't WIN if you don't play!
