1957 Chevrolet 150 Custom Wagon - A True One of a Kind -
$289,950
Some cars get restored. This one got completely reimagined, and the
result is one of the most decorated tri five wagons in the
country.
Every panel on this 1957 Handyman wagon was reworked by hand. Doors
and quarter glass run as a single piece of glass with the pillar
and wing windows removed, the roof drip rail shaved, door handles
and tailgate handle shaved with hidden mechanical releases. The
fenders have had their side gills and peaks removed, the bumpers
and grille are custom one offs, and the hood is a smoothed one off
fiberglass piece with a custom painted graphic. Even the firewall
and inner and outer fender wells were smoothed, with all plumbing
and wiring routed out of sight. This is coachbuilt level metalwork
on an American wagon, and it shows in every gap and every line.
Underneath sits a Paul Newman Car Creations C4 chassis with
Corvette suspension, smoothed, filled, and finished in Satin
Ceramic Gray. C6 Z06 Corvette four wheel disc brakes handle
stopping power, a Dana 44 rear runs 3.73 gears, and a hidden
electronic e brake is tucked into the console. Power comes from a
430 horsepower LS3 V8 backed by a Tremec T56 Magnum six speed, so
this wagon backs up the looks with real performance.
The finish is Dodge Viper Ceramic Gray over black in Glasurit base
clear, with bumpers and trim in Satin Titanium. Inside, seven hides
of Relicate bright red leather cover modified power seats, custom
door panels with aluminum inlays and laser etched leather, a
smoothed dash with Dakota Digital instrumentation, and a Sony
Bluetooth stereo with amplifier. The car rolls on staggered 19 and
20 inch Budnik Pilot wheels.
This wagon has been judged by the toughest crowds in the hobby and
has come out on top every time, with multiple Detroit Autorama wins
including First Place in 2020 and 2022, Outstanding Custom Engine
in 2020, Outstanding Custom Interior in 2022, and Outstanding Paint
in 2022, plus a Top 10 Roadster Shop Builders Choice at Goodguys
Columbus 2021 and a Top 25 finish at the Tri Five Nationals.
Fully documented with a beautiful build book, this is a genuine
award winning masterpiece, not just a chassis. A rare opportunity
for the collector who understands exactly what this level of
craftsmanship represents.
