Vehicle Description
This 1958 Chevrolet Delray 409 is a cool two-tone sleeper like
you'd see back in the day. After all, beneath the shining bright
chrome is a serious big block heart and the control of
four-on-the-floor. So it's time to have so fun with the old-school
blacktop burner.
We already are big fans of the '58 Chevy. After all, it's a
single-year design that was built with a wide style to own the
streets. That's why you see the quad headlights and a broad chrome
grille. It's detail-oriented, too, like the way the lower rear
fenders have a rising crease so that it can meet the line of the
rear bumper. You can see all of it so well, because this car has a
ton of brightwork, and it all looks clean and complete. This
attractive trim is even used to divide the Cashmere Blue and Arctic
White. The bright two-tone seems like the ideal 1950s color combo,
and that really goes to the heart of this car. It has a great
classic style, and utilizes the base Delray body, so it's exactly
the way people built some of the best street machines. In fact, you
may not even really pick up on this Chevy's upgraded nature if you
don't spot the raised white letter tires and competition-style
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
The two-tone interior continues this car's clean and unassuming
style. In fact, you're likely to be more impressed with how this
full-size two-door sedan offers plenty of room and seating finished
in a supple white leather. There are nice details, like how the
upholstery pattern on the seats is repeated on the doors. Plus, the
custom/comfy high rear seatback has a blue Chevy bow tie, and there
are matching seatbelts in the front. The dash has the bright and
classic look. Even the AM/FM digital tuner is a retro-style one to
keep the whole atmosphere feeling vintage. The artful blue and
chrome steering wheel has that ideal thin/grippy classic feel, but
Hurst floor shifter reminds you there's more to this one than just
nostalgia.
The 1958 Chevrolet introduced big block power to the cars. While
the legendary 409 cubic-inch V8 size was still a few years away
when this one was built, we now know the engine bay can accept it
with ease. So that's exactly what they did here for this true
street machine style classic. And while you'll like the extra
polish of the valve covers, air grabber, alternator, and more, the
real attraction is that this 409 also inhales deeply with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. It fires up nicely while making
the right deep tone from the dual exhaust. It's both powerful and
smooth as you take full control with the four-speed manual
transmission. This feels good out on the road, especially with wide
modern tires, upgraded power brakes, and front discs with drilled
and slotted rotors.
This is the two-tone classic with a ton of sleeper street machine
fun. Don't miss this Chevy, call today!
