Cheri's HazelVan
Truck-based vans like this 1935 Chevrolet “EB” Series Panel Van were very popular in their day, delivering products from flowers to dry cleaning.
Because of the depression, Chevrolet used mostly wooden framing for these vehicles to save money. Unfortunately, by the 1940ʼs, the frames rotted out and most were sent to the scrap heap for the war effort.
With only 5,694 built in 1935, Panel bodies like this are pretty rare today.
This example was resurrected from a junk yard in 1991, by a man named Bob Davis, who owned Watt Drug Company, a local pharmacy in Independence, Missouri.
He built a fleet of three resto-modded vintage Chevy vans to advertise his pharmacy and deliver prescriptions to his customers.
Upgrades included:
- Instead of wood, all metal framing
- Instead of the original "Stovebolt" 6 engine, a small block Chevy V8
- THM 350 transmission
- Mustang II front suspension
- 4 wheel disc brakes
- Backup camera and head unit
Today, with a nod to the good 'ol days, we use this van to advertise
