Vehicle Description
Business coupes always have the perfect proportions to make a cool
street machine. So when this 1950 Chevrolet has been custom-built
with bold paintwork, A/C comfort, five-speed manual transmission,
and unique 302 power, then it's everything you want in a custom...
and best of all, it's ready to be yours today for quite an
obtainable price.
Everyone loves the sleek look of Chevy's first post-war design. It
was fairly groundbreaking when it first appeared, which is why it
became the darling of the custom car crowds. This legacy is seen on
nearly every inch of the exterior. It starts with a coat of classic
black lacquer. But of course, what really grabs your attention is
the fireball that consumes the front end and works its way down the
door line. But that's far from the only unique piece. This is a
full custom build that borrows elements from the best of the
classic chrome era, including a '54 Buick grille, '54 Pontiac
taillights, '53 Cadillac headlights, '56 Chevy parking lights, and
'49 Plymouth bumpers. Plus, the dual spotlights, louvered hood, sun
visor, and fender skirts all come together to make this a coupe
that will make people stop and stare.
The interior was given a makeover that respects the original
design, yet adds a plenty of modern and functional upgrades. For
example, this holds true to the business coupe style with a bench
in front and storage in the rear. But the upgrade to a yellow seat
insert with yellow piping is exactly what you want on a wild child
like this. This look terrific with the matching door panels and
shift knob. Plus, the steering wheel cover has a great flame-kissed
cover that coordinates with the floor mats for a full uniform
presentation. This one was built to be a cruiser, so you can see
some very handy upgrades like the AM/FM/cassette radio and a cold
air conditioning system. And as you look through the newer Chevy
steering wheel, you get a clear view of the large VDO speedo and
tach upgrade. It's a nice indication of something special under the
hood.
Plenty of performance machines have 302 cubic-inch motors, but this
one will have people stopping to take a much close look. It's not a
V8 but actually one of the largest GM inline sixes that went into
consumer trucks. So this keeps the lineage of the original-style
motor, but the displacement is upgraded into V8 territory - how
cool is that?! Other nice '50s performance upgrades include a
Carter WCFB four-barrel carburetor, a Clifford intake, and
glasspacks on the dual exhaust. More than the best classic
upgrades, this one has been given the right more modern components,
too. It includes a HEI ignition, new fuel pump, and a new water
pump. Plus, you get the best control of this motor with a
five-speed manual transmission. Also, the ride is improved with
power steering, a versatile 3.55 rear end, and upgraded dampering
on the rear suspension. Add in Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires and front
disc brakes, and this custom street machine is also a great anytime
cruiser.
This is a head-turning machine that will have people talking. So
it's amazing something so unique is also so obtainable. Call
