1955 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery: On a Narrowing Path

摘要

Part car and part truck, the sedan delivery had been on the American motoring scene since the late Twenties. It was a convenient and fairly economical vehicle for tradesmen and small-business operators whose hauling needs didn't warrant the use of a large truck or required a more genteel presence. However, by the mid Fifties, the sedan delivery was entering into a decline pushed along by a growing market for pickup trucks that were getting better looking and more comfortable, and more space-efficient forward-control vans. Given that, the 1955 Chevrolet sedan delivery seen here is quite a rarity.
