1957 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery

1957 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery

The 1957 Chevrolet sedan delivery is a rare find. Though many were produced in the late 50's, because they were used as work vehicles, few are left and even fewer are in good shape. They were built to use as milk trucks, delivering groceries, stuff like that, and they used them up and then they were gone. Many just rotted out. The 1957 Chevy delivery is a sought-after collectible among car enthusiasts. Chevy only produced the delivery sedan for four years before it was phased out in 1960.

For consignment, a rare bird in the form of a '57 Chevy Sedan Delivery. With no back seat for more cargo area and bathed in robin egg blue now with a 307ci V8 circa 1969 there is plenty of power for the haul, or delivery in classic style. And with this rear cargo area windows filled in plenty of room to slather your business name on there and attract some attention.

ExteriorAn older restoration for the exterior, but it still maintains its shine, is rust free. It does have a few areas of cracking and crazing of the paint, and some chip offs at the gaps, but these remain well minded. 1957 was the year of the fin on this car and it sports nice ones topped with chrome and lower inset crescent taillights that float above the rear bumper. Not to be outdone, the front grille surrounds a now black egg crate design, had visored single headlights on either side, and rubber tipped "Dagmars" on either corner of the surround. Dual jet age rockets are leading the way on the hood along with a gold Chevrolet badge in your grandmother's handwriting and just below a large silver shiny chevron. Noted above the windshield is a metal visor with a chrome trimmed edge and some shiny rear-view mirrors hanging off of the doors. All chrome is very nice and retrains a good shine. 15 inch chromed and polished rally wheels are wrapped with raised white letter Cooper Cobra tires.

InteriorAll new leather textured vinyl in light gray for the uppers on the doors, and darker vinyl for the lowers and armrest. Mix in some metal framing for the armrest in robin egg blue, as well as shiny knobs and handles and we are looking snazzy. That look continues as we slip inside on to newer gray vinyl covered oversized late model buckets. As we get comfortable in these we can gaze upon the original metal dash now in two tone robin egg blue with white accenting. A chromed woven punched band runs through the bottom of the dash, and large white metal bezels house the original gauges. More blue metal and that chromed band abound in front of the passenger. Black carpeting floods the floors, and on the side panels we see black vinyl with a white tight headliner above which seems to go on for miles on the rear cargo area. With the visor in front, a traffic light fresnel lens is mounted to the dash so one can see when the light changes without bending over and trying to look up.

DrivetrainUnder the hood is now a DC coded 307ci V8 from 1969. It is topped with a 4-barrel carburetor and has a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission on back with a 3.36 rear axle. All nicely detailed with a red block, chromed valve coverings and supple hoses and rust and corrosion free bolt ons.

UndercarriagePreviously fully restored and recoated in black rust free and structurally sound. Some new rack and pinion parts, rust free exhaust, and power drum brakes all around it's ready to haul...some ass!

Drive-AbilityA quick starter and smooth runner. All comfortable for these late model buckets, and with no power steering it is still a breeze to drive. The wipers would not shut off and the radio was inoperable, but all else was working just fine.

Robin egg blue for this Chevrolet Sedan Delivery easter egg, retaining its shine, and not often seen in this sedan delivery style. A nice new interior, a newer 307ci engine, a promo piece if there ever was one for your business, just imagine "your name here".
