    Just joined to get some help with my 57 Chevy.
    What I do know....There is no do***entation of a 4dr being a Utility Sedan!:mad:

    The person I bought it from was going to part it out, but noticed it seemed a little strange. That is where I came into the picture. Not looking for a 4dr or a 150, I took on the challenge.

    So, to be short, Can anyone decode my Cowl Tag? :confused:


    [​IMG]click for larger image
    Style: 57 - 1219
    Body No: K 4460
    Trim: "2226XC..............B"
    Paint:
    ACC.:

    Check out the Trim: "2226XC...........B" big space before the "B"
    A blank Paint Code!
    The care is in original condition with two-tone paint Highland Green/Ivory; not a listed option!
    Appears to have no back seat, "4dr Utility Sedan?" vinyl on rear wheel humps & no upper back seat retainers.
    Car is rough but original.
    Anyone with 2dr pics with and without the cargo shelf?
    The car has exterior chrome door guards; not something you would see on a low buck 150.
    Another option that a person would not see on a 150 is a deluxe heater.

    It is my goal to put this back to original, so need help on building the back seat cargo area.

    Thanks for any help at all.

    hotrod-Linkin,

    Thanks for the interest......
    As my initial post stated: "What I do know....There is no do***entation of a 4dr being a Utility Sedan!"

    Chevy, as well as many automakers, produced several one of a kind cars. These cars are not do***ented. Special ordered from the factory; GM managers, companies or people with money. I know, my grandpa ordered several cool GMs in his day; all were 4drs. He never wanted to give up his performance because he needed 4drs.

    What I am really looking for is someone with a Utility Sedan that has pics and or specs of the cargo area; before the mat and plywood are down.

    Here are some pics of what I have....

    Close examination of the car shows that paint is original (few repairs) but the top was painted white and then the highland green was put over it.

    Here is what I hope it looks like some day!

    So, if you have a 55, 56 or 57 150 Utility Sedan, please help!
