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.
This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.
Today’s 1955 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is quite different from what it was like when it rolled off the Chevy factory floors all those decades back. Now with a new heart and a fresh lease on life, this lovely off-white specimen comes with a 400ci V8, a 700R4 autobox, a custom vented hood, a reupholstered interior, and more. It’s quite a change from when this vehicle was brand-new. You see, the Chevrolet 150 was a entry-level economy or fleet model, which meant it focused on offering basic and frugal motoring for those who needed it. Now, this Longmont-based car is far more than Chevy ever envisioned the 150 becoming!
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.
This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino is exactly the kind of machine that blurs the line between muscle car and utility vehicle in the best possible way. Showing approximately 11,474 miles, it pairs unmistakable A-body-era Chevrolet styling with a 350ci V8, 4-speed manual transmission, custom paint, and a collection of period-minded performance upgrades. The El Camino has always had a cult following because it gives you the long-hood, rear-drive attitude of a classic Chevelle with the added usefulness of a pickup bed, and this example leans into that personality with aftermarket Rally wheels, MSD ignition, headers, and a driver-focused cabin.
This 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS Convertible represents the final model year of the fourth-generation Camaro, and this example combines the desirable WU8 SS Performance / Appearance Package with open-top cruising and LS1 power. Showing approximately 133,836 miles, it is finished in Bright Rally Red over a Neutral leather interior with a black convertible soft top. Factory SS equipment includes the composite hood with air scoop, forced-air induction, SS rear decklid spoiler, performance handling package, low-restriction dual-outlet exhaust, and Zexel-Torsen differential, while aftermarket wheels, an open-element air intake, smoked taillights, and red-painted brake calipers give this car a more personalized enthusiast look.
This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 is especially compelling for one simple reason: it shows just 790 miles. That exceptionally low mileage is paired with one of the strongest early-C8 configurations, combining Blade Silver Metallic paint, an Adrenaline Red interior, the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift with memory, performance exhaust, and the Engine Appearance Package. Carbon Flash Metallic full-length dual racing stripes and bright red brake calipers add even more visual impact, making this a highly optioned and remarkably low-mile example of the first model year for the mid-engine Corvette.
