Vehicle Description
A classic panel delivery is usually a really cool surf wagon today.
But when you can get one in a 1958 Chevrolet - one of the most
sought-after designs - with V8 power, a cool custom paint theme,
and a custom/comfy A/C interior, well then, you know you've found
everyone's favorite attention-grabbing cruiser.
This has the look of a Sedan Delivery, but we're told the original
VIN has it as a Yeomen Delray. Not only is it a single-year name
for this single-year body style, but you have some serious rarity
on your side. Chevrolet basically made one Yeomen for every thirty
sedans that came off the line. And nearly 65 years later, this
example is even more individualized. It has been given a cool hot
rod kind of treatment with matte black paint on the bottom and
glossy burgundy on the top half. It's a cruiser-ready finish that
looks smooth while still being easy to enjoy. You can see the
thoughtfulness in the details, like the brightness of the chrome
and trim. And there's a terrific orange and blue pinstripe
separating the two-tone that also unleashes a custom design on the
hood and tailgate. It's a very unique machine and to do it with
something so rare makes it truly memorable.
The custom style continues inside where the focus is now on
comfort. The upgraded front bucket seats have a cool style with
gray upholstery with red inserts and stitching. This is a pattern
repeated on the door panels, center console, and more for a uniform
style. You'll adjust the power driver's seat to your ideal
position, slip behind the banjo-style sports steering wheel, grab
the Lokar shifter, and gaze at the crisp Stewart Warner readouts.
There are the right comfort upgrades like cold-blowing air
conditioning, power windows, cup holders, and a touchscreen
AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth and navigation. It makes for the
kind of car that plenty of people will want to go for a ride, and
so that's why you still have the spacious back seat. The custom
side panels have the Delray name embossed in them, and they even
integrated JBL subwoofers into the cargo area. So you just know
this has the right equipment and style to let you have some serious
tailgating fun.
Under the hood is a cool-looking small block that includes etched
valve covers and a Cadillac-style air grabber with custom
pinstriping to match the exterior. This 350 cubic-inch V8 inhales
deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales
with added power and authority as Sanderson shorty headers feed the
dual exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers. You'll also spot some good
supporting pieces, like an aluminum radiator, electric fans, and a
newer A/C compressor. And it's an all-around nice cruiser with a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes,
front discs, and a nice set of polished 17-inch alloys with modern
sport tires.
This is a rare Chevy made to be a unique custom cruiser. So if you
love a truly distinct classic that you'll love driving everywhere,
call today!
