Welcome to our 1955-1957 Chevrolet Passenger Catalog. Jim’s Chevrolet Parts has been your
home for Classic Chevrolet parts for over 30 years. We like to treat each and every customer the
way we would like to be treated. At Jim’s you will find that we are different from other reproduction
vendors, with our large retail shop, which is open 6 days a week, and our full staff who knows and
understands your needs. Our large on hand inventory helps you to get your parts sooner, whether
those parts are new, used or hard to find N.O.S items.
Jim Matus has always been an old car buff, and so many friends and acquaintances used to come
asking where he found his parts that he decided to make a business out of his hobby. Jim started the
business in 1979 with his wife, Barbara. She ran the day to day business until her untimely death in
1996. Retired from the California Department of Forestry, Jim now devotes all his time to Jim’s
Chevrolet Parts. Jim married Wanda in 2000 and they can be seen at car shows, cruise nights, and
other car related events. They may be driving their 1958 Chevy convertible, or the 1957 Chevy
convertible or a 1957 Chevy hardtop, or, well, you just never know what Jim will come up with!
Our office manager, Michelle, has been with Jim’s for over 17 years. She is very knowledgeable
about the old cars and either knows or can find the answer to most any enquiry.
Mark Matus, Jim’s son, can be seen helping customers, or behind the computer creating and
maintaining the website, catalogs or flyers.
Jim’s Chevrolet Parts will install any item that we sell, so our back shop is full of experienced
mechanics. Bob has worked for Jim’s since 1998 and can install parts and modify your vehicle with
what ever you request. He is also working on his own 1957 Sedan Delivery. Rich, our other in
house mechanic, claims to be a Pontiac man, but is secretly building a blown 1961 Biscayne (opps,
did we let the secret out?).
Our shipping and receiving department has been ably run by Ken since 2000. A true Chevrolet
lover, Ken will ship 90% of our orders the same day we get them. Ken previously owned a 1957
Cameo and currently can be seen in his 1955 BelAir 2 Door Hardtop.
Mike Matus, Jim’s youngest son, may be seen helping out, trying to learn enough to start working
on that 1968 Chevy truck his parents have in the garage for him.
As you can see, the Jim’s Chevrolet Parts family has many years of experience and is only a phone
call away.
We look forward to serving you.
