Here is your chance to own a rare piece of history. This is a 1949 Chevrolet Canopy Express. When is the last time you saw one? There were only 270 produced in 1949. How many are left? This vehicle is 100% complete. It runs, drives, stops, steers and does everything it is supposed to do. All of the lights work except for the parking lights that only need to be rewired. The carb has been rebuilt along with the master cylinder. It has all new ignition components. The truck has been completely rewired (the original wiring was brittle and unsafe). All of the gauges work with the exception of the temp gauge. Has a GMC heater with two blower motors. One for the heater and one for the defrost. The truck is not without its issues, though they are minor considering the rarity of this truck. The inner cowl and filler panel are rusty. The lower body in front of the left rear wheel has rust but it is only in the outer panel. The lower body behind the rear wheels has some rust. There is also some rust in the bottom of the tailgate although the hinges operate as they should. Some minor rust in the inner bed panels. This Canopy Express has a partition between the passenger compartment and the bed area. I have seen others that do not have this. Both correct seats are present. Both seats tilt forward and the passenger seat also slides sideways. The pins for securing side curtains are present around the display opening. This is an EXCELLENT starting point for a restoration. Rarely do you find a rare vehicle like this that is this complete. If I have left out any details, please contact Tom at 303-364-4010 or 303-261-6957. Thanks for looking at my auction and good luck. Oh.....and the horn works also. On Mar-03-15 at 22:50:26 PST, seller added the following information: I just realized that I left a visor in the back of the truck. It does not fit this vehicle and is not included with the sale of the truck. I will be listing it in a separate auction later in the week with several other items over the next few weeks. I do have the original hand crank starter for the truck that is included. Also not pictured but included, is the GMC heater that was in the truck. It has two separate blower motors (defroster and heater) that are controlled by light up rheostat switches. The blower motors work and I don't think the heater core has any leaks. Also included are a cleaning brush and collapsible cup that were stashed in the headliner. Most likely by the guy with the window cleaning company. Thanks for looking.
