Found a 54 sedan delivery

I picked up this 54 this weekend, It has a olds motor in it. It has been sitting since 1963. It was a service truck for a appliance dealer. If you look real hard you can see a logo for the company. It is very original other than the motor and trans. It has big 5 wheel patern and a open drive line is this original. also a vent in the back above rear door not sure about that either.

 

cool find. what are your plans for it?

 

nice find, what are your plans for it.

 

40 standard, are you reading my mind?

 

Not sure yet. I am trying to find more info. May keep close to stock.
Heres one more front pic

 

The vent in the roof is not original......but if you plan on making a driver you might want to keep it.....sedan deliverys get hot inside......stan

 

Juat noting and asking. Did S.D. have 53 type tails or has something been swapped?

 

should have a 5 x 4.75 pattern.. makes me thing someone did some swapping of the rear and front if it is also large pattern..

tail lights are not 54....

 

Nice find. It does look to have '53 tail lights. Do you have a picture of that Olds engine?

cool cant wait to see some progress pics

 

It originally came with a enclosed drive shaft so it most likely has the olds rear since they have a 5X5 bolt pattern. Jeff

 

its looks like a hearst

 

That is the most bitchin' car I have ever layed eyes on! Holy shit man! Helluva find.....

 

Nice find! I've always like the looks of them. That one may have been raced with the NASCAR roof flap and all.

 

Damm! Nice find! That will be a cool ride when finished.
