Pontiac produced deliveries through 1953 in the U.S. and through 1958 in Canada. This was possible because Canadian Pontiacs of the 1940s and 1950s actually used Chevrolet bodies; in fact, they are known to have used the rear sections of Chevrolet bodies through 1954 (creating odd Pontiac-Chevrolet hybrids; Pontiacs from the firewall forward, but with Chevrolet tail-lights). It may be Canadian Pontiacs of the 1940s similarly were Chevrolets at the rear, with Pontiac sheet-metal and trim at the front. These models were usually produced in very small numbers (200 or less); 449 Canadian Pontiac sedan deliveries were built in 1958.The 1949-1952 Chevrolet sedan deliveries were attractive and dependable work vehicles. The 1957 150 series delivery is a valuable Chevy sought by collectors. From 1959 on, the sedan delivery was no longer practical; it was phased out in 1960 as a Chevrolet model, so the requisite Chevrolet body was no longer available.[1] Sedan deliveries were typically used as work vehicles, so they tended to wear out faster than a better cared for passenger car.With the growing sales of the Volkswagen Type 2 and the introduction of compact vans, sedan deliveries faded from the scene. Chevrolet dropped the body type in 1960, while Ford moved it to the Falcon line-up until 1965.[edit]1970s1971 Chevrolet Vega Panel Express1977 Ford Pinto Cruising WagonChevrolet and Ford offered subcompact sedan deliveries in the 1970s - The Chevrolet Vega Panel Express and the Ford Pinto Panel Wagon.The Vega Panel Express was introduced in September 1970.[2] It was Chevy's first sedan delivery in ten years since the 1960 final full-size model. Chevrolet offered the rare body style Vega (less than 2% of its production) for the 1971 through 1975 model years.[3]First year sales peaked at 7,800 units; After leveling off to 4,000 units per year, only 1,525 1975 models were sold.[4]The Pontiac Astre Panel, Pontiac's version of the Vega Panel Express, was available in Canada in the 1973-75 model years, and in the US for 1975.The Pinto Panel Wagon was introduced in 1976 and was offered in both commercial and "factory customized" Cruising Wagon versions, featuring round port-hole rear side windows. The Courier name, previously used for Ford sedan delivery vans, had been dropped and applied to foreign pickup trucks.[edit]Today2007 Chevrolet HHR deliveryIn 2007 Chevrolet released a Sedan delivery version of the HHR, called the HHR Panel.[5]Chrysler produced sedan delivery models of its early Minivan wagons with a choice of the single-piece tailgate as on the regular station wagon models or optional double panel-truck type back doors. Chrysler showed a concept car edition of a sedan delivery based on the PT Cruiser at theNorth American International Auto Show in 2002, but it was not approved for production. Some restore and customize sedan deliveries, and some convert station wagons into deliveries and are now popular in hot rod circles.[edit]Australia1953 Australian Holden FJ panel van with original Royal Mail paint work.Ironically while in decline in America, the delivery concept inspired Holden and Ford Australia to manufacture their own sedan deliveries, which evolved into panel vans.[edit]EuropeIn the past, sedan deliveries were also popular in Europe. However, in the 1950s the larger sedan deliveries were replaced by vans like the Volkswagen Type 2, the DKW van and the first-generationFord Transit. The smaller sedan deliveries continued; but now they are frequently replaced by small panel vans like the Renault Kangoo and the Opel Combo. Today, some station wagons like the Škoda Fabia, the Opel Astra or the final generation of the Ford Escort, can be ordered as a sedan delivery. There are also hatchback-based sedan deliveries like the Volkswagen Golf Mk2, the Volkswagen Polo Mk2, the Fiat Uno, the Peugeot 205, or the current Ford Fiesta.[which?]On Feb-28-12 at 12:35:17 PST, seller added the following information: This is one of the most rust free 49's you will ever see.I am going to go take some new shots of it now with close ups to show just how little rust it has.I am going to pull it out and clean it up just so you can see how nice this car is.so many cars like this are full of rust then painted over.I am going to throw up some shots of the engine, the grill, the parts it comes with & underside too, so stay tuned.I will put a pack to send out so if you want to take a look drop me a line.
