Vehicle Description
1941 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe
NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY
In the wake of the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, the government decreed that to conserve scarce metals, cars
built after January 1, 1942, were to use no brightwork apart from
chrome-plated bumpers. Grilles, belt moldings, and hubcaps were
painted in contrasting colors, creating what became known as
"blackout" models.
A pre Pearl Harbor car with all gleaming chrome trimmings and a
barn find condition exterior. This 2 door business man's coupe
sports nice lines, some invasive rust, and full fender mounted
headlights for 1941. Overall, for 1941 the car became taller and
less sleek in its overall design, but adding more roominess to the
interior.
Exterior
All steel bathed in maroon paint, now showing its age with dulling
and invasive rust showing up on the seams and where trimmings
attach. Some of the trimmings are a bit rusted on the chrome
plating, others are in good condition. It is an all chromed trimmed
car though pre 1942 where all the trimmings save for bumpers went
in color. A bulbous hood, split windshield, those integrated
headlights and a swept back all add up to a nicely designed car in
2 door form.
Interior
Sandstone mohair covers the door panels and seats. It is showing
wear and slight dry rotting throughout. The door panels have fabric
missing, and the seats have a few holes. The dash upfront is
looking good and may have been restored at one time. Gauges are
clean and slight corrosion for the bezels and chromed radio speaker
grille in the center. The headliner is water damaged and showing in
mohair. In back in lieu of the seat, a storage area for the
salesman's goods has a protective rubber mat on top of the flat
floor. Some major invasive rust is noted in the driver's threshold
where it meets the rockers.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in the V shaped engine bay which is unrestored sits
a 216ci inline 6-cylinder engine. It is topped with a 1-barrel
carburetor and has a 3-speed manual on the back and 4.11 gears are
in the rear axle. This engine is currently not running.
Undercarriage
Heavy surface rust and a few invasive rusted underside panels are
noted on this car. This invasive rust is especially evident upfront
near and around the grille on the underside. Rockers also in this
area have heavy invasive rust. Independent coil springs for the
front, and leaf springs for the rear provide the ride. Drum brakes
are on all 4 corners.
A businessman's coupe complete with the space to put your wares in
back, get out and sell sell sell! Let's call it a barn find in need
of some TLC.
