A spectacular restoration of a very seldom seen car. This gleaming Sedan Delivery has a 283 with added Rochester Fuel Injection and a Borg-Warner T10 four speed. The blackwall tires with painted steel wheels give the car a look reminiscent of Chevrolet’s infamous “Black Widow”. The spartan interior perfectly complements the car’s sinister exterior. The all-business attitude attracts a crowd wherever it goes, making this one a standout.

A spectacular restoration of a very seldom seen car even when it was new. The ’57 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery model proved very popular with drag racers due to its rigid chassis and fantastic weight transfer. This gleaming black example has a 283 Chevrolet smallblock underhood with an added period-correct Rochester Fuel Injection unit. Backed by a smooth shifting Borg-Warner T10 four speed, this Sedan Delivery is a joy to drive. Upon inspecting the car, one immediately notices how straight the body is and the quality of panel fits are excellent. The blackwall tires with painted steel wheels give the car a look reminiscent of Chevrolet’s infamous “Black Widow” two door sedans. The spartan interior perfectly complements the car’s sinister exterior. The all-business attitude given off by the car attracts a crowd wherever it goes, making this one a standout on the boulevard or at shows.
