The Rich Pichette Delivery

1957 CHEVY SEDAN DELIVERY

Purchased in 1985 by the late Rich Pichette and his wife Penny, this custom 1957 Chevy Sedan Delivery was the basis of many how-to articles in Custom Rodder magazine. When Rich bought the car it was a pale yellow with a 1957 Buick grille which would eventually be replaced by an Oldsmobile grille. Unfortunately, in 1992 a rear-end collision would lead to a major overhaul of the delivery.

Gary Minor would install a set of 1957 Chrysler taillights, and then world-renowned customizer Bill Hines was/2-inch top chop, which would be the beginning of a six-year build. The car would make its debut at the Grand National Roadster Show in 1998. It would also be part of the 2011 customs display at the GNRS.
