Vehicle Description
Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 20th year in the
classic and muscle car business. Here's another rare and beautiful
blast from the past brought to you by the Texas Hill Country's
premier source of classic automobiles. Feast your eyes on this
stunning Zephyr Beige 1938 Model 81A Deluxe Convertible Sedan, one
of a mere 2,743 ever produced. And while she retains all of the
beauty of an original prewar classic, there are a few subtle
upgrades that vastly improve the driving experience. Beneath the
sculpted hood rests a period correct flathead V8 that was bored,
stroked, and balanced by Flathead City in Grants Pass, Oregon and
fortified with Offenhauser aluminum heads, an Offenhauser aluminum
intake manifold, a Holley QFT Slayer 4bbl carburetor, electronic
ignition, an 80 Amp. alternator (12v conversion), and a custom OPL
aluminum radiator with a SPAL fan. The product of these carefully
matched components is the smoothest, most tractable 200 hp flathead
we've ever experienced. Also, the clutch assembly, 3-speed manual
transmission, and the brake system have all been rebuilt with NOS
parts. A Vintage Air A/C, heat, and defroster unit will keep you
comfortable in any weather, while the turn signals and halogen
headlamps offer increased safety. With plentiful power, a smooth
chassis, and good vehicle dynamics, this beauty is an absolute
pleasure to drive. Finally, how many of the original 2,743 examples
do you suppose have survived 81 years in this condition?! Street
