Distinct, custom, and an all-around attention grabbing presence that's what attracted you to this 1954 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery. But when you check out the craftsmanship, powerful V8, and luxury features of the A/C interior, you'll soon realize this is a cool and coordinated classic that has everything you could ever want.
The chopped profile instantly lets everyone know they're in for something special, but there's also a ton more work that goes into creating an award-worthy custom like the one you see here. There was a small fortune spent on the bodywork to make it ultra-smooth. And now it also includes custom elements like the frenched-in headlights, sport mirrors, and nicely integrated modern door handles. The two-tone orange and cream utilizes some of the natural curves in the sheetmetal to separate the colors, and with it all clearcoated over for an even shine, the effect is thoughtful stunner. And while the paint has a terrific lusted in the sunshine, nothing can outshine the brightwork. There was a huge investment in the toothy grille, headlight surrounds, and wraparound bumpers, to give them a mirror-like presence. And it all comes together perfectly on the polished 15-inch wheels with center caps that match the two-tone paint.
When you open the door, the coordinated attitude continues. Not only is the exterior orange utilized on the dash, but it's also used for the piping of the comfortable bucket seats. The cream color is used as an accent again, and now it's joined by a cashmere for a rich multi-tone effect that gives this the instant charisma of both quality and thoughtful organization. The color scheme even extends to the cargo area, where it's now joined by a real wood floor that you'll love showing off. More than just look great, this one was created for true luxury, too. You'll love modern touches like the ice cold R134a air conditioning, cup holder center console, custom door panels with modern speakers, power windows, and power locks. And the AM/FM/CD stereo has everything you want, including touchscreen controls, aux input, and even displays the rear-view camera. You'll love gripping the custom steering wheel that reminds you this is a true '54, and beyond that, the full set of Classic Instruments gauges are a clear indication of something special under the hood.
The engine bay could win awards all on its own. There has been special attention paid to keeping the fender walls smooth and hiding all the wires so that you get a clean and clear view of this V8. And while you'll love the shine on the components like the valve covers, alternator, pulleys, and dual snorkel air topper, you'll also enjoy the details like how the block matches the painted engine bay. What you'll also love is that this stout Chevy 350 cubic-inch powerplant has upgraded performance with a Weber four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. It helps make a fantastic sound out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. But more than just a rumbling hot rod, more ideas of this thoughtful build can be seen in how there are features for comfortable cruising. This includes the four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive, and the aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans that keep the car running cool even when you're in traffic with the A/C on. And out on the road, this custom build feels great thanks to upgrades like the Mustang II-style independent front suspension, four-link coilover rear, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes.
