The Chevy 150 represented the economy or budget car from the Bowtie, between 1953 and 1957. This was a car for the everyman, a relatively stylish, frugal, and easy-to-maintain automobile. Buyers could pick from a sedan, coupe, or wagon. Two generations were made, with the second generation debuting V8 power for the nameplate. This particular 1955 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a second-generation car, but as the name gleans, it’s also a restomod. So, you can look forward to some modern additions, refreshed power, and something unique. Read on to discover what it offers.
This 1955 Chevrolet 150 Restomod showcases the design of the 150 in an off-white paint job, but it rolls on a set of modern five-spoke polished aluminum wheels. The right set of wheels can really uplift the look of a classic car, and we’ve got to say, these wheels do the job perfectly. They also host meatier tires, particularly at the rear, the purpose of which will become apparent shortly. But for now, let’s admire the chrome detailing, center-exit dual exhaust system, and wrap-around windshield of this beautiful automobile. There’s also a custom vented hood, once again a necessity given what lurks beneath. Now, let’s step aboard the custom interior, with its color-matched trim and custom console. Here, we find seating for up to four adults in four individual seats, with cup holders available for rear passengers too, thanks to the custom console. Then, the driver faces a set of Dolphin white-faced gauges, and there’s also a discretely mounted aftermarket audio system. You can see some of this behind a panel within the trunk, showing that great effort has been taken to preserve the classic outlook of this car wherever possible.
This 1955 Chevrolet 150 Restomod enjoys a 400ci V8 beneath the hood, powering the rear wheels through a 700R4 automatic gearbox with overdrive, and a 3.08:1 rear axle. There’s a 4-barrel carburetor for enhanced performance, while power disc brakes provide enhanced stopping power. So, you can cruise around all day in this beauty, turning heads and gathering smiles. Then, when it’s time to leave, you can awaken the V8 and lay some rubber in pure hotrod style.

Chevrolet offered the 150 model line-up from 1953 to 1957. The 150 was Chevy’s economy or budget offering, aimed at helping Americans acquire mobility in a cost-effective manner. Produced over two generations, the 150 was offered as a coupe, wagon or sedan. Today, we’ve got a wagon variant of the second generation 150, aptly named the 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman. This car comes from Belleville, New Jersey. The current owner informs us that included with the sale is some interior components that are all new and in their boxes, plus the car’s shop manual. With its simplistic mechanicals and quintessentially Fifties styling, this car is perfect for someone looking to buy their first classic car. Read on to discover what it offers.

Chances are, you haven’t heard much about the Chevrolet 150, and that’s because it was the automaker’s economy model from 1953 to 1957. Aimed primarily at fleet buyers, the 150 saw assembly in multiple plants across the USA and Ontario, Canada. A straightforward range of sedan, coupe, or wagon was offered, and by 1957, the Delray took over. As something primarily workmanlike, you can imagine that a Chevrolet 150 isn't all that common, which makes this 1957 Chevrolet 150 all the more interesting to an enthusiast. With just 74,750 miles on the clock, it’s not a tired high-miler either.
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
The Chevrolet SSR LS is a uniquely American performance pickup that blends retro-inspired styling with modern V8 power and convertible flair. Designed as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a traditional work truck, the SSR combines a retractable hardtop roof with a short-bed pickup configuration, offering open-air driving alongside utility-focused features. This LS-trim example emphasizes comfort, usability, and factory-installed accessories while retaining the bold character that made the SSR stand out in Chevrolet’s early-2000s lineup.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
