Yet another gem from my file of vintage truck slides – This one a sparkling, brand new 1954 Chevrolet 3600 series delivery van.
I am certainly no expert on custom truck bodies, but I do know that Chevrolet would have sold a decent amount of chassis/drivetrain/front clip setups to builders like Herman, Boyertown or Grumman who would then turn out finished Dairy, Bread or Laundry delivery trucks just like this.
Some of the neat detail that I noticed on this truck was the large one-piece windshield, single wiper, and a sheet metal extension at the bottom of the front fender that I presume was designed to keep mud and snow from building up on the bottom step by the door that the driver would be in and out of all day long.
I am not sure where this photo was taken, could be at a Chevrolet testing facility or just a parking lot at the truck-body builder itself. – Circa Spring of 1953.

Dutch Darrin's last Hurrah, was this "pine tint" green Kaiser Darrin is on California's Highway 1 at speed. Darrin appears to be the first to use fiberglass as a car shell, well before the Corvette, but with production delays, they were shown in final form only 2 months before the General Motor's first sports car.
The convoluted story of Dutch Darrin's association with Kaiser Frazier is fascinating and a short foray through Wikipedia on the Kaiser Darrin is extremely interesting. The Darrin was sold through the Kaiser network only in 1954, but Darrin purchased the unsold cars at a nominal fee, as well as the 50 finished cars that sat for months buried in snow and sold them out of his own LA showroom. This included several that he exchanged the underpowered Kaiser engine with larger supercharged or V-8 engines with a LOT more power, and a few were raced. The story is worth reading, and I liked the description of original car magazine writer's reaction to the odd radiator grill shape as if the "car wanted to kiss you"
Another classic mid-50's convertible. . .I've always kind of liked the mid-50's Mercs. . .I especially like the 4 "throttle" type levers on the dashboard next to the speedometer. . .Little fun design ideas like that seem to be missing these days. . .This one was on display at the "Starliner" Custom Car Show at the Kansas Aviation Museum in Wichita early in September 2017. . .
