Sedan Deliveries

Found this on the HAMB. I NEVER knew Pontiac built a sedan delivery. |
Re: Sedan Deliveries
You sure don't see to many of those old sedan deliveries around anymore, but there used to be a ton of them back in the junior stock days...anyone here want to guess whose old sedan delivery this was.

Here's an underhood pic of a 57. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...57/Pontiac.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r.../57Engines.jpg Here's a 56. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...ize_resize.jpg |
Re: Sedan Deliveries
Wow, these are certainly "firsts" for me!
One item I noticed missing in the powertrain lineup is the "base" V-8 engine for '57 here in the States, the 265/162 hp 2-bbl. Believe it was the combo in the Neja Bros. wagon.... |
Re: Sedan Deliveries
I never knew about those Canadian Pontiac sedan deliveries either...
The Pontiac Safari wagons were pretty std wagons and they did build some in '57 that were similar to a Chevy Nomads......I used to see one in my town and wanted to buy it to make into a tow vehicle. My first car was a hand me down 55 Pontiac..... |

Re: Sedan Deliveries
This must be where the idea of putting a "hydro" behind a Chevy in a sedan delivery came from originally. Ads like that kind of linked GMC with passenger type cars.....and engines and transmissions got interchanged...
I can recall the logic when me and my racing partner first built our '57 Chevy sedan delivery in about 1965.....Sedan deliveries were "trucks"......Add a truck trans behind a Chevy HP engine.......must be legal and NHRA OK'ed it for a few years........Just like the over the counter stuff they also allowed....and 4 speeds in cars that never came with them.... GMC trucks mixed and matched engines and transmissions.... We had a '58 or '59 GMC ramp truck that we built from one we found laying dormant in the backyard of a truck shop.....We re-built this truck in 1969 to haul our Chevy II stocker... It had a Pontiac engine in it......330 something cubic inch sidedraft 2 barrel with a manual trans..... I drove that old tanker to a lot of tracks in 1970-1971....The engine was pretty strong. after I swapped a new style carb on it.....Never any problem with it..... |
Re: Sedan Deliveries
Lots a neat stuff out there. You should have tried getting an original 1966 Malibu SS 283 car through tech. They tried telling me SS cars were all Big Block powered. :confused: In 1976 Larry Lombardo took a second look, I guess he had never saw one. :)
