    I know your young, but chevy made only one kind of car in the early 50's. No Novas, Impalas, etc. If it is a two door it could be a coupe (Sedan) or a fastback (Aeroback they called them.)

    Not picking on you, understand. Just giving you info.
    Hah nah man I know your not picking on me, I am stupid and should have realized.... the 50's there were no Nova's and Impala's. Hahaha duhhh. But yeah that will be sick if it's a nice car and not too much, can't wait to see some pictures of it. It's raining a lot today so I doubt that ncranchero could have gotten pictures.

    Actually Sport, I think this is a '50 Vette...........and yes it's raining but this old "redneck" from a place you think "sucks" stopped and got your info anyway.

    1950 Chevrolet DeLuxe 2 door hardtop......$3500......1677 S.Hwy 16, 704-996-2658 or 704-735-0372. Original interior, daylight showing through the floor in a couple of places I saw, it was locked. Panel below the trunk lid was rusted out. Generally what you would expect to find in a 50 model. Would make a nice hot rod though.

    ranchero, good of you to try and help the kid out.

    For your edification, and to help you not look uninformed, the body style is not a "hardtop". Had you not had pictures, the description could have been misleading. To those in the know, a "hardtop" would be the body style without door/window posts, and in 1950 would have only been available as a two door Bel Air. The body style you've shown is a sedan. If the quarter windows were the shorter version (along with the roof being corespondingly shorter) that would be a coupe.

    Class dismissed.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Always willing to help out a young fella interested in cars/hot rods. I had my first one when I was 14 and have had grease under my fingernails ever since. This '50 will make someone a nice piece. I spent several pre-elementary school years riding in my Dads shiny new '50. Back then the back seat seemed as big as a house, kind of looks different to me now.
    Thank you Bob, for your edification. Simply a mistake on my part as I do know the difference in a sedan and a hardtop. Notice the white "sedan" in one of the photos?
    FMX, when you get an oldie or anything else you have to do to it what makes YOU happy. This one might have tempted me except for the fact that I'm NOT a bowtie type guy. My blood runs Ford blue. I had a real difficult time in deciding which route to go on my '68. Would I be happy with it as an original.......probably not. Sooooo it's goodie time! Then I'll get a real grin!

    Alright well thanks a ton, I am going to call the guy right now, I just talked to my dad but he doesn't like how it has all the rust. I don't really know exactly what to do but I know that if the floor is all rusted out that I can buy the floor panels from some place I saw on one of my magazines. Well I am going to call right now. I will let you know how it goes.

    I just called the guy. He said that it has a 6 cylinder (forgot to ask what size) I am guess 283? It is a 3 speed straight drive, has original engine and the mile gauge has 53,400 on it, there is rust on the bumper, some on the trunk, a handful on the floor, and that's about it..... Now what if I wanted to get rid of that rust, how would I go about doing it.... bondo? Also what about switching the engine to a 350 or 454? Any tips or idea's would be great. Thanks.

    A 283 is a V-8 but not being a Chevy guy I'm not sure what a '50 inline 6 was, a 235 maybe.

    There are lots of suppliers for Chevy patch/repair panels. Here's just one:

    Rust.....cut it out and weld new in, don't cover it up with Bondo or it will be back again.

    Alright thank's a lot! Yeah I need to find someone that lives around me to help me out with my car because my dad has forgotten how to do lot's of stuff he said and I don't know much still. Even though I have taken the auto tech class I still don't know how to build an entire engine and would like to know someone that does and that can help me with timing and all that stuff.

    FMX, the car probably has a 216 6cyl, there are only 2 motors I know of that were used back then, the 216 and the 230. I myself am probably buying a 1950 Chevy 4dr sedan with the 2spd Powerglide auto, he says it's got the 216 but, he was getting told that the automatics had the 230, he dosen't know 4 shure if that's true but that's what he told me when I called him. The price sounds a little high cause, the one I'm probabbly geting, the guy only wants 1,200 and, that's not firm and, it only needs a fuel pump diaphram, rechromed bumpers and a paint job cause, he fixed all the rest, new points and condensor, brakes and master cylender and exaust, floor and trunk pans and a few other things but, back to your car, it's probably safe to say it's a 216 cause that's what most were. Oh the guy tells me also that fender skirts for those cars are 175.00 each but, he's throwing a set in with the deal for me. So I guess if u buy that car and, I buy the 1 I'm looking at, we'd be in the same boat, cept I would use the original drivetrain and, power it up so, it would do the speed limit.
