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.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
