While intended for family transport or as delivery and trades vehicles, Chevrolet’s entry-level, 150-series station wagons also gained immediate favor with hot rodders and drag racers. Thanks to their extra weight over the rear axle, Chevy’s 150 wagons ruled Junior Stock competition during the 1960s and 1970s, helping establish the careers of many future drag racing legends. Sporting a handsome two-tone Blue Metallic and White paint finish, this 1957 Chevrolet 150 Station Wagon is a highly desirable find, featuring the sportier 2-door body style. Chrome and brightwork is a mix of maintained and restored items, including the gun-style hood trim, stylized Chevrolet scripts, and the restrained rear bodyside trim characteristic of the 150 line. The Chevrolet’s interior features recently fitted Blue and White vinyl upholstery that motors the exterior colors in combination with Blue carpeting accented by White piping. A matching floor console can be fitted or removed as desired. A later-model small-block Chevrolet V-8 engine delivers the power via a column-shifted automatic transmission. The full frame and front and rear underpinnings are in maintained driver quality and retain factory components including the factory 4-wheel drum brakes. Brakes and steering are both manually operated. Adding to the “Hot Rod” vibe is a set of modern Ridler 5-spoke chrome wheels mounting low-profile radial tires. A fun and enjoyable classic Chevy cruiser, this 1957 Chevrolet 150 Station Wagon offers plenty of room for fun times to come with family and friends. Appraised value of $65,000 CAD. Canadian tax is not applicable.
