Very Cool Vintage Iron on the SEMA Floor

By Jim Brennan

aka UDMan

No need to do any introductions on these cars, but as I was wandering around the Central Hall, these beauties were beckoning to me to have their features showcased. How about this 1959 Chevy Wagon? This is powered by a big block, but since the owner was no where to be found, I don’t know what engine is under the hood. All I know is that I want it bad. Hit the jump for more pics of very cool vintage iron.

Take a look at a super sanitary 1962 Chevy Biscayne with the monster 409 under the hood. Every body panel is smooth, and the interior is factory correct, and it sports a 4 speed manual.

This Chevelle Super Sport is located at the Original Parts Group Booth, and is a great rolling advertisement for the company. It is very stealthy, as the car is equipped with a 396 Cu. In V-8. This car is truly drool worthy.

In the same booth is this very slick 1967 Buick Skylark Gran Sport, with the Buick 400 Cu In V-8 housed between the front rails. Check out the Star Trek inspired Air Cleaner.

The ‘59 Chevy Wagon has a 348ci. (Like all the other Chevs of ‘59, the Brookwood, Parkwood, Kingswood, and Nomad were available with the 235 I6, 283V8 or 348 V8). The 348 was essentially a torque-monster truck engine that delivered anywhere from 220 to 335hp in stock states of tune. In 1961 it was enlarged to become the more well-known 409. Both the 348 and the 409 have those cool valve covers. (I have a couple on my wall as art!)
