Vehicle Description
Sweeping lines, rarity, and a great woody appearance makes this
1952 Chevrolet eight-person station wagon instantly desirable...
and that's even before you check out the upgrades like the
performance V8, updated suspension, and A/C interior.
We know you likely have never seen something like this before,
because not only is it an exceptionally cool custom build, but also
it starts with a rare edition. Chevrolet only built 12,756
Styleline station wagons in 1952, so you can just imagine how few
have survived around 65 years (especially as solid and straight as
this one). But more than a survivor, this car has received a
restoration that took the exceptionally straight bodywork and
invested in a mirror black finish. And that textured wood trim
that's grabbing all you attention, it's painted on. Yes, it looks
so real to all of us too (we had to look super close), so it took a
true artist's hand to apply. But what makes it so great is that the
care and maintenance is as easy as the rest of the sheetmetal. On a
rare wagon like this, the brightwork is just as important. More
than just having a shining grille and bumpers, this Chevy is
complete right down to the line running within the rear fenders.
But there's also a very upgraded custom feeling to this wagon. It's
in everything from the sun visor, to the large staggered alloy
wheels (17-inch front/18-inch rear) for a great stance.
The original idea of a station wagon was to ferry hotel passengers
to and from the train station, so this one still has plenty of
space to carry everyone thanks to three rows of seating. The tan
leather on the seats appears quite correct and authentic, but just
like the exterior, it's the wood that steals the show. Inside is
actual lumber, and the flat side panels have a great appearance
when joined by darker accent wood and bright handles. Style was
becoming a priority again in post-war America, and so Chevrolet
built an impressive chrome waterfall dash panel that the later
Impala steering wheel matches with quite nicely. The full execution
gives you a half-century's worth of nostalgia, but there is one
upgrade you'll really appreciate. The modern R134a air
conditioning. It means this classic wagon can carry your family and
friends in comfort!
The engine bay has been updated to accommodate the iconic Chevy 350
small block, and it really is a shining star in this standout
wagon. In fact, we almost dare you to find one more component under
the hood that you can polish to a mirror-like appearance. The V8
not only looks amazing, but it's also been upgraded with a Holley
fuel injection setup, and dual exhaust. So you know it's got the
kind of modern power to hustle you to the beach the moment that
surf's up. But more than just a cool motor, it is fortified with
features like an electric fan and transmission cooler for the
three-speed automatic, so you can really use it in everyday
driving. Plus, take some time to look at all the undercarriage
photos. See how clean everything is? That's because there's less
than 6,200 miles on this whole build. While you're under there, you
might also spot great features like the Mustang II independent
front suspension, rack & pinion power steering, and power front
disc brakes with cross drilled rotors.
This is an exceptionally cool cruiser that's perfect for everything
from a surf wagon, to your classic that fits the whole family, to a
show stopper at the shows. You already know how rare this is, so
hurry up and call today before this opportunity is gone! Call
now!!
