Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this mildly modified
Chevrolet One-Fifty Business Coupe for your consideration. This
vintage gem features a stock 235 engine with a dual carb setup,
power steering, and power brakes. The column shift has been
relocated to the floor, enhancing drivability and adding a touch of
modern convenience. Originally built between 1953 and 1957, the
Chevrolet One-Fifty was conceived as a fleet model intended for
police, taxi, and other governmental agencies, with minimal
marketing efforts directed at the average consumer. This no-frills
transportation option came with limited options, stark trim, and
solid colors. This particular unit has seen very limited use and
has been stored indoors, preserving its charm and functionality. It
starts right up, runs smoothly, shifts seamlessly, and brakes as it
should. The tires are in decent condition, the interior is nice,
and while the paint is older, it still shows quite well.
Under the hood, the engine was rebuilt in 2023 with several notable
upgrades, including a slight bore, a mild cam, headers, dual
carburetors, and new pistons and rings. The clutch is new, paired
with a three-on-the-floor gear shift, and the car features a dual
exhaust system. It has been lowered 4 inches in the front,
achieving the perfect stance and rake. A tachometer has been added
for performance monitoring, and the electrical system has been
converted to a modern 12V setup. For entertainment, there is an
AM/FM radio with a CD player, and the car now has electric
windshield wipers. The updated American Racing Wheels with newer
tires enhance the overall look, and new shocks (front and rear)
along with new front springs improve the ride quality.
Chevrolet's One-Fifty model has an interesting history, having been
introduced as an economical, no-nonsense vehicle designed for
utility and efficiency. Over the years, it became a favorite among
law enforcement and other government agencies due to its
reliability and straightforward design. While it lacked the bells
and whistles of higher-end models, its simplicity and durability
made it a dependable choice. This particular example, with its
tasteful modifications and careful maintenance, brings a touch of
modernity to a classic design, making it a unique and enjoyable
ride.
