This is a 1955 Chevrolet Delray with all its original sheet metal born to the car in 1955, Original Fenders, Doors,Quarters,Trunk,Frame,Floors and even Rockers! original 1955 Glass all the way around! All the Chrome and Stainless is from 1955! Moving to the interior, every piece with the exception of the seat covers is 1955 Factory. This is a V code Vin number meaning it was always born with Chevrolet's new hot one the small block V8! It was a 265 3 speed. Southern Car built in Atlanta solid and straight! you would have to search pretty hard to get one with only 91,700 miles . Sometime in the late 1970s it received its first Paint Job! Thats right this car has had one repaint in its 57 years! The car was painted in its original color of Neptune Green using at that time Centari Enamel, now 34 years later this paint has settled into the most wonderful shade of Green, A Patina you now would have a heck of a time duplicating, It screams 1950's. its not the real Dark Neptune Green anymore its faded into more Turquoise, The Paint just fits the car and visa versa. As we continue with its history there are old Stewart Warner Gauges cut professional in the dash along with a Stewart Warner older Tach, I do not know when this was done but they look great and are very old units that can not be replaced, I know I had to replace the temperature gauge and I still kept the old unit to repair at sometime . People look just to collect these vintage gauges! Chevrolet 400 Small Block and Double Hump Heads, rebuild it with new components and balance it in the process, Engine has lt1 cam and a very rare old school gm dual point distributor . We removed the three speed and tastefully added a 4 speed Muncie Transmission with special made Hurst Shifter for 1955 bench seat, removed the 3 speed collar and ad a special made smooth collar to make it look like it could of came from GM that way. Ad a 409 1964 P Case 4:11 rear end, Top everything off with a old school polished Offenhauser intake along with 3 rebuilt Rochester Carbs by a Specialty Hot Rod Shop in Southern California, Correct with Custom Linkage and Custom Fuel lines all neat and tidy! No Mickey Mouse stuff here. This car Screams Nostalgia! New Wiring and brakes. Engine compartment completely detailed, underneath the car frame is detailed floors were undercoated from day one, they look great you can scrape the light undercoating off if you so wish. If your looking for a repaired rusty 55 with after market import sheet metal and after market import chrome covered with smooth as silk base coat clear coat paint hiding all the sculptured body filler- PLEASE MOVE ON, if you want a honest 55 that's got all its original Metal , Interior and Chrome then this is a good one. A very good looking great running great driving time piece. There really is too much to list. Please check my feedback I have been here before and sold many cars for friends as well as some of my own. This is my car and it has a private party title in my name. I might trade for something tasteful, . I like quality pieces tastefully done, . Hope you enjoy looking at this 55, it deserves to be with somebody who appreciates what she is and how she got here.
