Vehicle Description
This 1938 Chevrolet Master business coupe has all the right vintage
charm with a little extra power thrown into the mix.
The business coupe was a necessary tool during a simpler America.
The salesman needed a large trunk to carry goods city-to-city and
door-to-door. Today the long hood and long trunk not only remind us
of a different era, but they also have one of the most attractive
silhouettes for collectors. And while many have been turned into
hot rods to represent the moonshiner era, this example is more
about remembering what the successful businessman of the '30s would
drive. The gray paint is a great canvas for the full red pinstripe
package. And when we say full package, we mean it. You see the
distinctive details in the tall grille, hood vents, and running all
the way through the door line. There's even great red details on
the bumper caps and correct wheel covers. And we bet you've noticed
some of the cool details like fender shirts and radio antenna
boldly sitting on top of the roof - both reminders of the beginning
of the aerodynamic era.
When you open the door, the tan cloth interior has a classic
pattern and that classic mohair feeling. But recent investments
mean this feels far fresher than anything from the '30s. As a true
business coupe, storage is a priority. So you get a proper parcel
shelf, as well as room behind the forward-tilting seat. This has a
great vintage motoring atmosphere - from the feeling of the big
steering wheel, to the action of the three-speed shifter, to the
look of the factory gauge panel. Even the original AM radio is
still on display. So it's exactly what you want when looking for a
time-machine level of a distinct classic.
Under the hood is Chevy's dependable inline six. This is a later
model so the displacement is increased to 235 cubic-inches. Plus,
this received good attention and investments over the last few
years to include bored .40 kit, as well as a reconditioned
generator, head, and carburetor. Plus, essentials like the water
pump, fuel pump, and radiator all received attention. There's even
an electric fan to help you stay cooler in traffic. This means
confident vintage motoring.
This was the kind of business coupe for the successful salesman who
had arrived in life. And that same attitude only gets better with
age on a classic like this. So don't miss out, call today!
