Chevrolet does not build many cars like the Chevrolet Stepvan: a 2-door van, built from 1940 to 1998 in a decade split by war, when civilian production stopped and restarted.

Where it came from

The Chevrolet Step-Van (and its badge-engineered counterpart, the GMC Value-Van) is a multi-stop truck made by General Motors from 1940 to 1998.

Under the skin

The record carries the shape — a 2-door van. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.

In context

Where it sits in Chevrolet's history is not in doubt: the Workhorse P-series followed it; it was built at Detroit Assembly (purchased by Workhorse Custom Chassis in 1998). On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Lincoln Continental, the Volkswagen Beetle, the Dodge Kingsway. Nearby in the Chevrolet catalogue sit the Chevrolet Adra and the Chevrolet C-10.

The money

MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Chevrolet Stepvan has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
