I have a '54 Chevrolet Del-Ray that I bought for $3,100 and I have put a little work into it, but it is taking up too much space and I have to get rid of it. The engine is a 235 6 cylinder with 67,000 original miles and it runs (fairly, but it runs) The body was re-painted to original color and is flawless. The stainless trim is a little banged up and needs repair, but there is almost no rust on it because it was garaged all these years. The only rust it has is a few small spots in the trunk. There is no carpeting and the upholstery needs completely replaced, which I was quoted $1,100 to fix. Other then what I have mentioned, the car is in great shape. I have whitewall tires with good tread and 4 extra new tires. I don't know where to look to get an accurate appraisel for it and I don't want to be ripped off.

To MDCBERT:
"The Chevrolet Delray debuted in 1954 as an optional trim level on the mid-range 210 series of Chevrolet's full-size automobile. It later became a distinct series of its own.
Model history
1954-1957
The Delray was a two-door sedan featuring an upgraded vinyl upholstery with "waffle-like" pleating, color-keyed to the exterior, along with carpeting and other minor upgrades. The standard equipment was otherwise essentially similar to the regular 210 models. The Delray was offered until 1957, and proved reasonably popular.
1958
In 1958, the Delray became a distinct series of its own, taking the place of the 150. The Delray was Chevrolet's price-leading, no-frills model, with the more expensive models being the Biscayne, Bel Air and Impala (the last being a sub-model of the Bel Air)."

That's a good excuse to ebay it - you don't need to know the value to sell it on there.
If you look at ebay completed auctions, you can sometimes find a similar car that sold.

You should be able to get 3000-4500 for it. Sorry not much interest in that year.
