Ah, the one-of-none sedan delivery. Chevy body with Olds sheet metal. Beautiful but not factory.

If it is fake, somebody did a nice job of installing the Olds dash. This thing is really pretty.

Both very nice looking cars, fake Olds or not. They look pretty close to the same. Always liked panel cars/trucks myself..

I believe the ones based on a passenger car were called "sedan delivery". A panel truck was based on a truck chassis.

50 olds sedan delivery

This is a new one for me. I believe there are 2 others that I have seen
one is in California and another is in the midwest some place.

X2. These things are very nicely done but I think the black one is prettier. Just a matter of taste.

Nice car. There's also one around here in orange county, california; a blue car. The guy with the blue olds states that his is one of 5 made, which is bs. It's a pontiac body with an olds front end. And if they went through that much trouble stating that the car really is an olds, the car would not have the front fender chrome, it would have a 6 cylinder engine, standard steering wheel and the tailights would be like the station wagons/woodys have. Why would oldsmobile make a fancy delivery if they know that they wouldn't sell much and if they would only be used to tow or carry things. Nice car and hard work, but they shouldn't lie and say it's a real oldsmobile.

Why would they limit an Olds sedan delivery to a 6 cylinder engine? After all the Pontiac sedan delivery was available with a 6 or an optional 8.

High trim level would make sense on an upmarket Olds delivery.
