unique way to advertise your company? What about a rarely seen
Chevrolet Capitol Series LP panel truck that has huge side panel
real estate to advertise your business in the most possible unique
way! Plus, you have to love and adore the half moon sliding side
windows! Chevrolet rolled out a new one-ton series truck in 1928,
the LP series. This example is one of the final 130 examples to
receive four-wheel drum brakes in 1928. Another new feature on this
series was a four-speed manual transmission. This extremely rare
truck was donated in pieces to the Petersen Automotive Museum in
Los Angeles, California about 1994. A decade later, it was
purchased through eBay from the museum, still in parts. The current
panel body was crafted by Wheels of the Past in 2008 and was
completely restored and painted in 2017 with a total cost of over
$50,000! This example was repainted in its Trianon Blue over black
wings in 2017. The paint and trim are in overall excellent
condition. The black, rubberized roof, running boards, fenders and
radiator make for a great contrast to the main body color. The
horizontally split windshield and lights look great, including the
faired-in cowl lights. The bodywork is straight and solid and this
truck has some gorgeous woodwork inside. Note that there are no
wipers on this truck. The truck?s black bumpers look good and there
is a driver?s side-only taillight. The battery under the
floorboards looks good as well and we recently had the starter
rebuilt by the best in the business. There?s a full-size spare tire
under the cargo area. This truck rides on Firestone Deluxe Champion
wide whitewall tires, size 6.00-20 at every corner. Each tire is
mounted on a wooden spoke wheel with a chrome center cap. The tires
and wheels are all in good, original order. Under hood is a 171 CID
OHV engine; 1928 was the final model year for this engine. The
engine is backed by a new-for-1928 four-speed manual transmission
with a 3.82:1 rear end. Inside the tri-colored cab works well ?
brown vinyl pre-bucket seats, tan door liners and the Trianon Blue
metal dashboard but the speedometer is inoperable. The pair of dark
brown seats look great and there?s a pass-through to access the
spacious rear compartment. There are floormats present (this is a
work truck, after all) and a gorgeous wooden headliner that
stretches back to the dual rear cargo doors. The standout features
are the dual wood benches that line the cargo area. If a classic
truck with a large cargo area that looks like a custom-made
paddywagon sounds appealing, you should make some time to check out
this Chevrolet 1-ton Panel Truck. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars
