For consignment, a 1955 Chevrolet 150 Sedan Delivery showing 510 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This one enjoys power from a more modern Chevrolet, the Corvette, and would have been the delivery champ in 1955 if only that technology was available!

Exterior
From 20 feet, the Gypsy Red paint is striking in this body style, with acres of panels in red coverage. Get closer and the patina shows with chipping paint, areas of surface rust, cracking and crackling paint throughout, and evident filler. Now that we've established that, let's look at the classic lines of the wagon, touted as sharing it's platform with the passenger car but with the panel back, looking much longer. The polished parts remain including the fuel door trim, tail light housing, bumpers, light rings, and grille. That's all enhanced by the 15-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels that carry slightly staggered size tires and dual exhaust tips also benefit from a mirror like shine. Don't let the paint issues stop you from reading, this 150 has a clean interior and nice little transplant under the hood.

Interior
Red carpet lines the floor and red velour covers the walls and headliner in the cargo area, making it hospitable for both people and packages alike. Up front, the doors wear the same red velour here stitched in a spider web design. Things turn a bit more conservative on the seat which is a gray cloth split bench with a black bowtie on each side, and it all presents in good condition. An 80's/90's steering wheel is offered to the driver and leads to a Dakota Digital dash within the fan shaped portal and the bowtie stamped mid-panel that stretches the width will forever be epic. A clever cupholder has been added and the passenger gets a direct view of the analog clock while our shifter rises from a plastic base on the transmission tunnel over black carpet piece that is clean.

Drivetrain
If the question is trick or treat, this is a treat! Here's a 5.7 liter LS1 V8, fuel injected with bright red valve covers and for everyone who screams LS swap, LS swap!, here's your dream come true. Ours too! It's mated to a rebuilt 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission that routes power to 4.11 gears in back. An aluminum radiator and polished air intake pipe further dress things up under the hood.

Undercarriage
All clean underneath with a surprisingly polished rear axle and power steering linkage creating some underside bling. New brakes according to our consignor, here as power disc up front and power drum in the back. Dual exhaust travels through Flow FX mufflers by Flowmaster, then straight back to chrome tips. Suspension includes coil spring up front, tubular control arms, and leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
Throw some wheel covers on this car and a pedestrian color, and you'll have the ultimate sleeper! With red paint and "mag" wheels however, the power lives up to the presentation as the LS delivers healthy acceleration and the stout 4L60E competently transfers power to the 4.11's out back. And the cherry on top of this red wagon is that all functions available to the driver operate just as they should and we deliver this Chevrolet back to the mall! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Potential here to roll with the patina on the outside and surprise the unexpecting Camaro at the traffic light. Or, redo the paint with the color of your dreams. As is, the uncommon sedan delivery is a cool car, maybe even cooler than passenger station wagons currently enjoying widespread adoration. We know there are people out there just waiting for these to show up in the marketplace and we're happy to respond to your call of interest!
