Jesse James
Custom Chevy Wagon Heads to Mecum Auction, Kansas City, Missouri, December 7,
2012

NEWS RELEASE
FROM
THE NATIONAL
MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM,
ANAMOSA, IOWA
Custom build by
Jesse James
- Fully
functional hydraulics
- Promotional
car for West Coast Choppers
- Stored in a
climate controled environment
- Featured on
Monster Garage with Jesse James



James began with
a very solid 1957 two-door wagon retaining its incredibly fine stock, original
factory deluxe interior and straight six engine with three speed, column shift
transmission. But it's the paint, (especially on the roof!) and what's in the
trunk that counts with this car.

Base mint green
paint is new. Violet-purple flames with pin-stripes all new. Straight pull
chrome wire wheels and narrow white walls are in excellent condition. Car runs
and drives fine and was registered in 2012, now shows only 65,470 miles on the
odometer.

Production
records show less than 18,000 of this 1957 Chevy Handyman model were built. A
prime year for Chevrolet design, this car will always serve as a reminder of
Jesse James' flare for customizing.
