Super Rare '72 Custom Streamliner - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NoNeck · 04-01-2020, 12:25 AM

A friend of mine recently located this rare, 1 of 1 Chevy built for the narrow streets of Italy. The truck began life as a conceptual design by the famous GM designer Stedman "Slim" Owens. Slim owned a funeral home before moving over to GM in April, 1972. His assistant, Bunny Hopper was paint coordinator while Peter Cottontail completed the powertrain.

The truck has been a hit in Easter Parades and funeral conventions.

I have to agree,,, it is really a one of a kind truck.

You guys are right, I have a knack for locating rare trucks. I hope everyone is staying safe in these crazy times.

That was going to be the next truck I posted in the "Unique Trucks" thread. Why don't you go ahead and do that?
