About

I purchased this 51 Chevy about 3 years ago off Ebay in Colorado, and have been working on it ever since. Always liked the looks of the sedan deliveries, but wanted something different from the usual 55-57 Chevy's that you see so many of.
I like the rounded body style more, and you don't see any of them driving around here, and I like being different from the crowd.

Specs

1951 Chevrolet Styline Model 1508 Sedan Delivery
350 ci Chevy with edelbrock high rise manifold and 4 barrel. Stock internally.
350 turbo, (plan to upgrade to a 200 or 700R)
