1951 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery
What is a sedan delivery, exactly? �The lines can be blurry, but mainly we strive not to confuse them with their larger siblings, panel deliveries aka panel trucks. �A sedan delivery is built on a passenger car chassis and employs a passenger-car derived body, while panel trucks are truck-based. �No, the distinction isn't always clear. �For example, Ford and others built both Sedan Deliveries and Panel Deliveries on essentially the same chassis. �Oh, well.
For consignment, a 1951 Sedan Delivery for the tasking. �It has had a black respray about 4 years ago and some customizations from the original design and liberties taken to improve on handling and safety. �This car started life as a flower car for a funeral home.
Exterior
Donning its black shiny exterior and very good chrome trimmings, prior to painting all body work was professionally done and shows no rust , but a few bubbles on the rear wheel well area. �All chrome and brightwork are good and remain shiny and dimple free. �The front grille is a simple and original design. �Front badging is looking good as is the large hood ornament leading the way. �Side and rear swinging door glass has been tinted. �The car rides on 15-inch black painted wheels with ribbed trim rings and a center moon cap. �Wide whites are all around.
Interior
Textured almost terry cloth covers the doors. �In the center is a red vinyl panel with some stitching and an armrest. �It is slightly worn on the edge on the driver's side. �Inside, faded red broadcloth buckets from a late model more modern car are now in. �These have red vinyl bolsters and some gray piping for the armrests. �In the back is a full bench, and for the cargo area we see red carpeting not exactly fitted to the space. �Up front we see a full metal gray painted dash with 2 round gauges in front of the large gray steering wheel, and some vertical ribbed chromed strips in the canter some house the temp sliders. �Below this is a lineup of bakelite knobs and the factory AM radio. �Red carpet is on the floors and above is a white headliner which is slightly saggy.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a fairly clean engine bay we see a 216.5 inline 6 cylinder engine. �It has a rebuilt head and a blue painted valve covering. �A 1-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed manual from the tree shifter is bolted on. �Final drive is 4.11 and the engine bay shows some newer wiring.
Undercarriage
Up on the lift we note a lot of nice black undercoating and no rust. �All clean in the design with a stock single exhaust, drum brakes, and independent coil springs for the front, and leaf springs for the back. �Keepin' it simple under here.
Drive-Ability
The car started easily idling smoothly, and ran just great. �Good handling and with new brakes and shocks helps this big car�stop on a dime. �A good time had by this test track dummy! (Actually I'm a little smarter than that but hey I digress!)
A fine vehicle with some add one and light modifications. �The interior needs a lot of TLC and it is overall a good example. I'm going to be a delivery man.
