This sharp looking 1958 Chevrolet Delray is for sale in our
Louisville Showroom. The Chevrolet Delray, named after Delray
Beach, Florida, debuted in 1954 as an optional trim level on 2 door
models of Chevrolet's mid-range 210 series of full-size car. In
1958, it became a distinct series of its own at the bottom of
Chevy's lineup (replacing the discontinued 150), and added a 4-door
sedan, and sedan delivery, but it only remained in production for
that model year. This Delray has been done in a Quasar Blue
Metallic paint scheme that is in great shape. The big chrome
bumpers look new, because they have been re-chromed and give this
Delray a nice 50's look. The Steel wheels have been colored matched
to the rest of the car. The front end has been slightly lowered to
give it just the right stance. All new ball joints, A-arm bushings
and rear axle bearings have been installed to make sure this Chevy
Delray rides as good as it looks. Under the hood is the original
348 W series V8 engine, with a tri-power set-up, that came with
this beautiful Delray. A new radiator has been installed to insure
the 348 big block stays cool while cruising down the highway or
crawling through stop & go traffic. To insure plenty of fuel is fed
to the 3-deuce set-up, an auxiliary electric fuel pump has been
added. The 348 V8 has been rebuilt with new internals and balanced.
The water pump, generator/power steering pump, starter and all
three carburetors have been rebuilt. Backing the 348 Big Block V8
is a 3-speed close ratio manual transmission. The transmission has
a new clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. There end has
been rebuilt with a new Eaton Posi unit with 3.55 gears. Between
the tri-power carbs and the gear ratio in the rear end, this little
sleeper car will open a few eyes up, as all they will see is your
tail lights. The current owner also replaced the floor pans, so
this car is just as solid as it would have been in 1958. To make
this Delray as safe as is possible, new brake lines and power
steering hoses have been installed. It is the attention to such
details that make the difference between a nice car and a great car
to drive. Inside the interior is very discreet with only seat
belts, a tachometer, an oil pressure gauge, and a switch for the
electric fuel being added to the otherwise stock interior. Options
for this 1958 Chevrolet Delray include; AM/FM radio with Cassette
Player, Hub Caps, Power Steering, Seat Belts, Cloth/Vinyl Interior
and radial tires. To view this 1958 Chevrolet Delray in greater
