Vehicle Description
1940 Chevrolet Coupe
With its wind-swept design and classic good looks, Chevrolet Coupe
series has always been a rare and highly desirable line of cars.
Not surprisingly, gearheads, customizers and all but 80 years'
worth of dedicated fans have elevated it to one of hot rodding's
greatest cultural icons.
This completely restored inside and out with a new engine Coupe
retains much of its original look and line, but with many upgrades
and customizations. A documented photo album chronicles the
restoration of this nice driving 1940 Chevy Coupe and shows its
rust free beginnings of the build. All steel with the exception of
the driver's side rear fender, the restoration began over ten years
ago.
Exterior
Orange you glad it's not blue!? Orange pearl, color graces the
reworked steel panels and is highlighted by all reconditioned
chrome and original badging. An "alligator" hood was used, and the
grille bares a strong resemblance to that of the higher-priced
Buick. A bulbus trunk is framed on the bottom with a gracefully
curved bumper, which allows 2 flared exhaust tips to peek out from
below.
Interior
Very recently refinished, it appears brand new. A Black split back
bench stretches from door to door. Behind the bench is a storage
area that has a custom bowtie design inlaid in material and is
carpet lined. Headliner is very clean felt, and door panels use a
two-tone gray checked material with plain gray carpeted stripe. A
clean metal white painted dash presents very simple and houses
green LED digital gauges. Floor is carpeted with gray cut pile.
Drivetrain
Power is provided by a 350ci Chevy engine and Edelbrock Carburetor
with three-speed automatic transmission.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust is present, but unremarkable. Rocker panels,
fenders, and floor pans are all in very nice condition. One has to
look carefully, however the upper body seems a bit out of alignment
when viewing the car from the passenger rear. This does not impede
the tire in any way, it just has been noted.
The 1940 Chevrolet Master and Special were advertised with the
slogan "Royal Clipper Styling." Headlights were melding into
fenders, and running boards becoming less prominent. A complete
rebuild you could go or show with. Either way, all the work has
been done, and you just need to turn the key and drive away!
