This is not your ordinary 1950 Sedan Delivery.  It is not a hearse!  It is not a Suburban!  Is is not a Ambulance.  And it is certainly not a homemade custom!

This great looking "real" Sedan Delivery began its life in service for the United States Forestry Service.  These special ordered vehicles originally had plexiglass sliding windows installed from the factory in place of the typical metal panels that you are use to seeing on a Sedan Delivery.  The plexglass windows have been replaced with fixed glass windows in its current configuration.  The interior features great looking black leather seats and a custom cosole.  They is some of the nicest pin striping on the console as well as on the exterior body of the special car.

It is propelled down the road by a TPI LT-1 motor out of a IROC Camaro.  The powerplant is backed up by a 700R4 overdrive transmission and a 3:53 rear end.  So it has no problem cruising down the road where ever you would want to go.  And you would be goinf in style with its AC blowing adn stereo providing just the right tunes.  There is so many customizations to this fine vehicle that I am consident that some have been overlooked.  But in an effort to provide you with a complete understanding of how nice of a car this is,  the following is a partial listing.
