Beautiful mid-60’s style 1955 Chevrolet 150 ‘businessmans’ coupe finished in an eye-catching red 2-stage urethane. Just as an FYI; a businessmans’ coupe only came with a front seat and a wooden board in place of the back seat which was used for suitcases. Also, the rear quarter windows were sealed in place with no mechanisms for them to go up and down. The owner added the back seat. The estimated mileage since the car was finished is 1500. Total actual mileage is 99,000.

Body is rust-free and was taken off the frame and painted approximately five years ago. The metal which was replaced included the floors both rear quarter panels and the two front fenders. Everything else was solid. Additionally, the body has been ‘nosed & decked’. The Chevy has new body mount bushings and a nicely painted undercarriage. Chrome is in excellent condition including the 1955 Chevy station wagon rear bumper and Lee Plastics tail lights. All the glass is tinted and in good condition except for a small area of de lamination on the passenger side front windshield near the corner.

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for since 2002 and maintained a close to a 100% rating during most of that period. Around 2011 I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all of the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
