1955 Sedan Delivery 

This Rare 1955 Chevrolet 150 Sedan Delivery is one of only 8,811 produced, 
even compared to the 8,386 production numbers of the 1955 Nomad, this is a very Rare car
especially being typically a commercially driven delivery car of the 50's, fewer were saved and few Sedan Delivery's survived.

This particular Sedan Delivery was manufactured in Janesville, Wisconsin
I purchased it from Montana.

The Sedan Delivery has a 327 corvette engine (according to the previous owner), a Muncie 4 speed transmission
mated with a HURST shifter.
The body was taken off the frame, and the frame was redone previously (photos included), new body bushings were added, the motor and trans were gone through and the brakes were redone at this time as well.

I have owned the Sedan Delivery for about 11 years and it has been kept off the road during this time, 
I have garaged it since my possession.
Last fall I had the 55 running, it drove and ran very smoothly.

The Sedan Delivery has No Rot or Rust,
the body panels are clean and the floor panels are SOLID, 
 just refer to the photos

Whether it be Custom, Hot Rodded or returned to Original,
This 1955 Sedan Delivery is an excellent candidate for restoration
or even enjoyed as is.



If you have any questions, please don't hesitate and feel free to ask me.
But serious buyers so I can focus my effort and time in providing the best information for those the most likely
to become the new owner.

I have no issues with selling to the states, US buyers are welcome
and I will assist where I can.
 Transportation though is the responsibility of the buyer.

The 1955 Sedan Delivery is located in Toronto, ON Canada.



For Importing the 1955 Sedan Delivery to the states

The Sedan will have NO duties or fees, It will be duty free because it was made in the U.S. and is simply returning. 

The Sedan Delivery is also free of federal emission standards as it was manufactured before December 31st 1967.

As well The Sedan Delivery is exempt of the Federal "Gas-guzzler" tax (EPA and DOT requirements)
as it is more than 25 years old and is classified as an antique or classic.

The buyer though will obviously still need to have the EPA and DOT forms present,
the forms have a category for exempt, because of its age.

Here is the link for the very simple EPA form
     

Here is the link for the very simple DOT form





So all you will need is proof of ownership, and the EPA and DOT forms present


All information stated above I received Directly from speaking with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection




Thanks and Good Luck!





I've added 49 more photos to Flickr

A bidder requested photos of the underside of the doors (I took photos inside of the doors as well),
the rockers and body supports.
As you will see from the photos they are Solid.

I also included more photos of the interior, their is some light surface rust on the roof in some areas but 
nothing more than that, the roof is solid just refer to the photos.

Thanks and Good Luck!

The Mileage actually reads 11730,

as well I realized I forgot to mention two small areas of concern,
one being a small dent in the roof, which was filled in prior and the body filler has now lost its bond
(photo's included)
the other a small area at the rear just before the taillight 
some body filler was used to smooth out the body but has opened up as well.

Again, their is No Rust or Rot in the body
this is just small body work to smooth out 2 body panel areas
and was done prior to my ownership.

The Sedan Delivery is exceptionally clean and Solid.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Evatran, Bosch will sell wireless home charger for as low as $1,998*

Mon, Jan 6 2014

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, the big news for plug in vehicles is that they can now start to ditch the plug. As expected, the system costs around $3,000 and is available for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. For the first 250 customers, though, Evatran is offering $1,000 off the standard price, a 30 percent discount. Deliveries start next month and Evatran says it expects the discounted units to all be snatched up in the first half of the year. The wireless charger charges as quickly as conventional corded systems. Called the Plugless Wireless EV charger, the 240-volt station will be installed by Bosch and needs a specific adapter to be used with the Volt or the Leaf (the Leaf version costs $100 more). So, any two-EV families out there will need to pony up double if there's a Chevy and a Nissan in the garage. Of course, since the Plugless system only works with older Leafs (2010-2012 model years - but with any Volt), any late adopters will not be able to take advantage of the new technology, for now. Evatran says the wireless charger "charges the Volt and Leaf as quickly as conventional corded systems and all vehicle features, such as charge-timers and phone applications, can be used seamlessly with the Plugless system." After the first 250 units, standard prices for the wireless chargers take effect again: $2,998 (Volt) and $3,098 (Leaf). Evatran says it will announce wireless chargers for additional vehicles and model years later this year. Evatran and Bosch offer Promotional Pricing as low as $1,998 to first 250 PLUGLESS™ Wireless EV Charging Customers LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), in partnership with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, announced today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show that it is offering reduced promotional pricing to the first 250 customers who opt to Go PLUGLESS with their electric vehicle ("EV") experience. The PLUGLESS system offers a convenient, wireless charging alternative to the repetitive process of unplugging and plugging-in electric vehicles. The reduced pricing includes all charging hardware and is as much as a 30% discount off the system's standard MSRP. The discount is available only to the first 250 customers. Initial shipments of the PLUGLESS system, the first wireless EV charging product in the world available to individual EV drivers, will begin in February 2014.
