Vehicle Description
STK 2558 1957 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery
The restorer of this very rare 1957 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery
created a one-off masterpiece. We understand that GM manufactured
less than 3,000 of this model in 1957, and few if any are in this
condition today. This outstanding frame-off restoration was
completed in 2012 and the result is a work-of-art. From any angle,
the lines of the classic '57 Sedan Delivery are stunning. The
Tropical Turquoise 2-stage finish is exemplary and the chrome
flawless. Inside, the cloth/vinyl interior is striking. The
reupholstered bucket seats look original and the '210' steering
wheel is right at home in front of the factory dash package. All
tinted glass is new and other features include a heater, electric
wipers, color-coded drink cooler and custom fitted car cover. Note
- this '57 is 'radio delete'. Under the hood is an early version of
the famous '409' - the 348ci W-code engine. The "Turbo-Thrust" 348
is a strong motor with much more torque than the early
small-blocks. Equipped with the 3x2 Rochester intake, advertised
power was 350bhp and 364 lb/ft of torque. It is totally rebuilt and
backed by a 700R 4-speed automatic. Exhaust is routed through a
custom stainless system. As we said before, this '57 looks good
from any angle, even from below. The chassis has been nicely
detailed and remains virtually spotless. It incorporates power
steering, disc/drum brakes, coil-over front suspension w/sway bars
and rear air shocks. The Sedan Delivery sits on a set of 18" Coys
chrome spoke wheels that mount Bridgestone Potenza radials. The
differential holds 3.73:1 gearing. This is an extraordinary rare
'57 Chevy Sedan Delivery. Any one of us would be proud to be the
next owner of this rare machine. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
