If you like your Hotrods with beautiful bright red paint, an
aggressive stance, and you like to be able to drive them anytime,
anywhere with comfort and reliability, well then, take a good hard
look at this beautiful 1940 Chevrolet Business coupe. The business
part of a business coupe if you don't know, means that rather than
a back seat, you had an area to store your catalogs, and/or wares
you were selling.
Of course, that was in 1940, and today the traveling salesman has a
different approach. Of course, so do we when it comes to taking a
car that was designed for the salesman, and turning it into a super
cool, easy to drive Hotrod.
That is exactly the case with this particular coupe, as it now
combines all of the desirable traits we expect in a comfortable
Hotrod that retains the aura of the past.
Very vibrant paint with a subtle contrasting tone on the trim make
this clean, uncluttered, classic car stand out from the rest.
The smooth running 350 with the 3 speed automatic transmission
means you have proven reliability, and ease of operation.
Comfortable, fresh bucket seat interior finished off in a soft
sculpted gray color combo surrounded with easy to read gauges and
controls. Power steering and power front disc brakes, and updated
independent suspension make for an always pleasure-to-drive
classic!
This '40 drives so nice down the road, you'll never want to get out
of it. Drive it to a car show, take it on a road trip, park it
outside the restaurant and look at it while having dinner...This is
a Hotrod for all occasions.
