Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this 1934 Chevrolet
Sedan Delivery street rod. This is a very well-built and cared-for
car that combines stunning old-school style with modern
conveniences. This car came to us with a folder of receipts as well
as photos taken during the build. From the receipts, we can see
that the build took place between 1991-1993 and most of the work
was done by a shop in Cleveland Ohio called Lobecks V8 Shop. The
shop started with a fiberglass Outlaw body and steel chassis - a
solid foundation to work with. It passed a safety inspection by the
NSRA in 1993 - a testament to the quality of the build. Today, 33
years later, only 10,274 miles have been put on the car and it
looks so good you'd think it was built last week! Let's take a
deeper dive into this seriously cool street rod...
This Sedan Delivery comes to us today dressed in its original coat
of Bahama Blue paint that still looks fantastic. This car comes
with a black vinyl front end bra, and the previous owners must have
used it because the lower front end is free of stone chips. The
brilliant blue paint is accented by some very tasteful pink and
peach pinstripes that flow along the body line at waist level. The
paint is deep and glossy and while we could find a couple of very
small touch-ups, we'd consider it show-quality. Looking at the car
from the front, there's a shield-shaped stainless steel eggcrate
grille flanked by King Bee bucketed headlights and swooping
fenders. There is no front bumper, so turn signals are discretely
mounted under the fenders on the frame rail horns. As you move
around to the side of the car, the forward-slanted body and raked
stance really grab your eye. The body is smooth on the sides, with
no chrome elements (like door handles) to take away from the form
of the body. Panel fitment is first rate and consistent around the
body. The windows are lightly tinted and the wiper arms have been
removed to keep the clean look. Attached to both doors are small
rectangular body-color side mirrors. Back on the rear window panel
is a small pinstriped "Willie's Wagon" done in script. Contributing
to both the stance and look of the car are what appear to be a set
of Boyd Coddington wheels with knock-offs from Mr. Roadster. The
tires are staggered, with Nexen SB802's (165/80R15) up front and
Nexen Npriz AHS's (235/75R15) in the rear. You can see blue
calipers peeking through the front wheels and blue drums behind the
rears. At the rear corner of the drivers side you'll find a pop-out
fuel door that has a release for the rear door hidden inside.
Around back, you'll see that a third brake light has been
flush-mounted beneath the window on the cargo door. Just like the
other doors, this rear door also lacks an exterior handle. Beneath
the door on the lower valence are a set of inset rectangular
taillights. Poking out from under that valence are a set of chrome
Meg's exhaust tips that let out a pleasing rumble. Take a look
underneath the car to find an incredibly clean undercarriage that's
painted the same blue as the the topside. You'll also find an
Outlaw stainless gas tank, stainless steel dual exhaust with
glass-pack style mufflers, adjustable rear coil-overs, independent
front suspension, and rack & pinion steering. Lift the side-hinged
hood to reveal an immaculately clean engine bay that's painted with
the same slick blue paint as the exterior. At the center is a 1988
Chevrolet 350ci V-8 that's dressed in blue with matching blue
intake and valve covers. It's topped off with a 4-barrel carburetor
and a polished aluminum oval air cleaner. Ahead of the engine
there's a chrome Sanden compressor for the Vintage A/C system and a
chrome alternator. Keeping things running cool under the hood is a
Walker radiator with an electric puller fan. The strong-running
small block is mated to a 1988 TH350 3-speed automatic transmission
that sends power to the rear wheels via an 8" Ford rear axle.
Steering is manual but easy thanks to the rack & pinion. The brakes
are also manual, but with the discs up front you'd swear they feel
like power. Exhaust flows through Pro-Car headers before heading
back to the mufflers.
To enter this Chevy you simply press a button on the key fob that
lowers the drivers window, then you reach in and open the door with
the interior handle. When the door opens, the dome light pops on to
illuminate a very well preserved Ed Watson interior done in blue. A
single style of blue fabric covers the door panels, kick panels,
side walls, headliner, windshield surround, and seats - creating a
very uniform look. The molded door panels offer power window
controls, armrests, and handles. The front bucket seats are
re-covered seats from a 1987 Thunderbird (minus the headrests).
Both seats are manually adjustable, equipped with lap safety belts,
and in excellent condition with no visible demerits. A fire
extinguisher has been mounted between the front seats. Good quality
blue carpet covers the floor up front as well as back in the cargo
area. The driver is treated to a 4-spoke blue leather-wrapped
Lecarra steering wheel with a working horn on an '88 Chevy tilt
column. Ahead of the wheel is a blue painted dash loaded up with
VDO gauges for fuel, temp, oil pressure, and voltage as well as a
120mph speedometer. To the right of the gauges, ahead of the
passenger, is an Audiovox AM/FM/Cassette stereo that plays through
speakers mounted in the rear sidewalls behind the seats. Mounted
under the dash to the drivers left are a pull for the lights, a
knob for the wipers, and a hood release pull. Under the dash to the
right you'll find a toggle switch that operates the power antenna
and controls for the Vintage Air system that cranks out cold A/C on
demand with a strong fan through 3 vents, To open the rear door,
there is a pull handle on the rear sidewall just inside the door
next to the drivers seatback. In the cargo area is a battery box
dressed in the same fabric as the rest of the interior, a car
cover, a custom black vinyl bra in a storage bag, a pair of
floormats, a mesh cover for the grille, the wiper arms and blades,
and two customized blue satin jackets that let folks know you're
the one with the cool '34 Sedan Delivery.
If you're looking for a gorgeous well-built street rod, you should
take a hard look at this '34 Chevy Sedan Delivery! It would cost
six figures to build such a car today and you can make this one
your own for less than half of that! It's a real head-turner, it
runs and drives like a modern car, it's got creature comforts like
