"According to Chevy owners, it’s a very simple car to maintain, with parts readily available. In many ways it’s comparable to a Volvo PV—only with more power and comfort."

"According to Chevy owners, it’s a very simple car to maintain, with parts readily available. In many ways it’s comparable to a Volvo PV—only with more power and comfort."

Description

This car was originally sold new in Sweden. An inspection sticker from 1964 and a tax disc from 1962 confirm that it was still active in the mid-1960s, and the original colour was blue. The long-term owner, who sadly passed away, kept the car for around 40 years. Although no early documentation is included, online records show it was registered in 1986 and last inspected in 2009 at 80,500 km.

It has been parked in an underground garage in Göteborg for at least 15 years before we collected it. After a wash, its true colour could finally be seen again. The car was repainted in dark red at some point, to a good standard, with only a few paint runs and small imperfections, but still presents well. The main cosmetic issue is oxidised chrome, mainly caused by concrete dust during storage, which can be improved with time and care.

These cars were built to last with heavy-gauge steel, so rust is not a concern on this example. It is inspection-exempt, but will require a full review and engine start-up service before being put back on the road.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine does not currently start, but everything under the bonnet is complete and appears to be in usable condition. An electronic ignition has been fitted, and the engine turns over freely when rotated in gear. The car rolls easily, making it simple to load and transport, though it will need to be collected with a trailer. It sits on good wheels with older tires that still hold air for several days.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is complete but would benefit from a proper valet. Both front and rear bench seats are good, with only small fabric damages around the front seat frame. The headliner is in good condition. Door cards are complete but show wear and some moisture damage, making them straightforward to repair or recover. Carpets and rubber mats are worn but present.

    The car features a cool retro 1950s dashboard in good condition with original gauges and clock, as expected for the Deluxe model. There is some light overspray along the edges of the rear seat.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight with no visible rust issues or damage, built from the heavy-gauge steel typical of the era. The underbody is impressively clean and solid, with only light surface rust and no structural damage. The paintwork is shiny overall, with a few minor runs and marks, but nothing that stands out—its thickness should make polishing easier. As mentioned, the chrome shows heavy oxidation; it can be improved with time and cleaning, though only rechroming would make it perfect.

  • General condition:

    An ideal choice for anyone seeking 1950s retro American styling and comfort on a budget. With a proper service, mechanical review, and some interior refresh, it should be easily put back on the road.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
