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.
Exterior and Interior
This second-generation 1957 Chevrolet 150 is of the two-door coupe variant and presents itself in a Colonial Yellow paint job. This car appears to have had some restoration work done on it during its long lifetime. Headlamp lenses look in good condition, the chrome bits glisten appropriately, and badging is present and correct. The car rolls on a set of five-spoke mag-style Pacer alloy wheels. A peek at the undercarriage reveals a similarly clean and rust-free outlook. Venturing aboard the black and gray interior, you can't help but be captivated by the gorgeous Art Deco style dashboard in all its glory. A closer look at the period push-button radio reveals that it's in fact, a retro-modern unit that looks vintage but brings some modern features to the table. You'll also notice the Hurst gear shifter knob and airy two-spoked steering wheel, a total departure from the chunky airbag-equipped units on modern cars. Up to five occupants (maybe six, but the legality of that is questionable nowadays) may be accommodated on the front and rear bench seats, and a peek at the trunk reveals the spare wheel neatly tucked to one side.
Engine
This 1957 Chevrolet 150 comes with a 305ci V8 that sends drive to the rear wheels via a manual transmission. Since the 1957 Chevrolet 150 didn’t come with a 305ci option from the factory, the largest engine being a 283ci unit, we can glean that this car has received an engine transplant. A peek under the hood reveals Edelbrock cam covers and air cleaner, and a pristine engine bay.
