1955 DELTA
A four-passenger close-coupled coupe just
fifty-three inches high, mounted on a 120
inch wheelbase similar to that of the production
88. The Delta was designed to consider
new materials and design features, many of
which are taken for granted today: dual
fuel tanks in the rear fenders, cast-aluminum
wheels, anodized aluminum trim, a
center console for radio controls and extra
storage. Styling was strictly Harley Earl,
very rounded with the dipped beltline that
would permeate the GM line by 1957-58,
and the car was two tones of metallic blue.
