1957 CHEVROLET 150 2DR WAGON I WOULD LIKE TO START OUT AND TELL YOU SOME HISTORY ON THIS BEAUTIFUL 57 CHEVY 2DR WAGON. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A FELLOW IN FRESNO CALIFORINA WHO HAD THE CAR FOR THE PASS 20 YEARS AND KEPT IT INSIDE STORAGE IN FRESNO. THIS CAR WAS ALL ORIGINAL WITH ORIGINAL PAINT AND HAD NEVER BEEN DAMAGED, JUST UNBELIEVEABLE CONDITION. IT WAS BUILT IN L.A CALIFORNIA CHEVY PLANT AND NEVER LEFT THE VALLEY, IT HAD THE BLACK AND YELLOW PLATES ON THE CAR, THEIR WAS ONLY ONE PLATE SO DMV MADE ME GET NEW PLATES, THE BLACK IN YELLOW PLATE GOES WITH CAR. WANT TO ADD ALSO THERE WAS NO RUST OR BONDO IN CAR. I WILL GO INTO DETAIL IN MY WRITE UP, THIS WILL BE A LONG WRITE UP BUT WANT YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CLASSIC AND THE WORK THAT I WENT THREW TO MAKE IT ONE OF THE BEST 57 150 2DR WAGON AROUND. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS. BODY---TO START OUT WITH I TOOK THE BODY DOWN TO BARE METAL (SEE PHOTO CAR ON TRAILER IN BARE METAL), I DID NOT COME ACROSS ANY BONDO, ONLY HAD A FEW SMALL DOOR DINGS. FENDERS, DOORS, ROCKERS, FLOOR PANS, BACK AREA AND SPARE TIRE WELL ARE IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE CAR WAS BLOCKED MANY TIMES TO MAKE SURE IT WAS LAZAR STRAIGHT, THE PAINT WORK IS GORGEOUS (BY A WELL KNOWN BODY SHOP), DOORS TAKEN OFF AND JAMS ALSO PAINTED IN HIGH GLOSS ( I HAVE PHOTO'S OF CAR WHEN BEING PAINTED) THEY PAINTED THE CAR IN BASE COAT CLEAR COAT AND THE COLOR IS MERCEDES BENZ BRILLIANT SILVER YOU HAVE TO SEE IN PERSON IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. ALL NEW GRAY TINTED GLASS WAS INSTALLED WITH NEW RUBBER SEALS, NEW WEATHER STRIPING, NEW WINDOW CHANNEL AND FUR, WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN LIKE NEW. HAD ALL S/S TRIM POLISHED BY A PROFESSIONAL, HAD THE ORIGINAL BUMPER RECHROME AND COST ME OVER $1200 AND ARE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE, (HAVE INVOICE) INSTALLED NEW, GRILL, GRILL BAR, HEADLIGHT BEZEL'S, TAIL LIGHTS, I DID INSTALL A NEW SET OF BACKUP LIGHTS JUST FOR SAFETY ISSUE'S. (THE 150 DID NOT COME WITH THEM), I COULD KEEP GOING BUT GETTING LONG, PLEASE CALL ME ANYTIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PHOTO'S BEFORE AND AFTER THE RESTORAITION. CALL HAL AT (209) 346-7018. INTERIOR-- IT IS GOREOUS AND THE WORKMAN SHIP IS THE BEST EVER (SHOWROOM WORK) I WENT WITH A SOFT VINYL (I DON'T CARE FOR LEATHER, SORRY) THE COLOR I PICKED WAS A BEAUTIFUL BURGUNDY WINE AND SETS OFF THE BRILLIANT SILVER EXTERIOR, WITH THE BLACK AND SILVER DASH AND BLACK GARNISH MOULDINGS AND CUSTOM MADE BLACK CARPET, THIS MAKES THIS CAR THE TOP OF THE LINE. THE PERFORATED HEADLINER IS TIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL, I ALSO HAD THEM PUT PERFORATED IN THE SEATS AND DOOR PANELS AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO'S, THE FRENCH STITCHING GIVES IT A RICH LOOK ALSO. ALL GAGES WORK, DID YOU NOTCE THE RADIO, CLOCK, AND LIGHTER DELETE, YES THE 150'S WERE THE BOTTEM OF THE LINE!!!! (NOT NOW). IT ALSO CAME WITH THE CHEAP HEATER (WORKS) AND THE DOME LIGHT ONLY WORKS OFF THE LIGHT SWITCH, NO JAM SWITCHES. THE BACK SEAT WILL LAY DOWN FLAT AND GIVES YOU THE HOLE BACK FOR THEM LONG TRIPS.
