Vehicle Description
Some rods just have "the look," and this 1941 Chevrolet Super
Deluxe coupe totally nails it. With a few traditional tricks and
vivid red paint, it gets in your face and demands your attention,
but thanks to a quality build, reliable mechanicals, and a handsome
interior, it's the person driving it who will enjoy it most.
Big headlights, brilliant chrome and trim, and a lowered stance
make the otherwise stock bodywork on this streetrod beauty look
pretty sleek. This fat-fendered Chevy combines all the styling cues
that you'd expect with the fantastic 1941 styling, which was the
pinnacle of pre-war design. For a car that was built a few years
back, it still looks pretty fresh and with the red paint and
styling details, it'll never look dated, you know, like those
pastel rods with all those silly graphics. The fenders and running
boards have been molded and smoothed into the body, the front
grille is imposing and instantly recognizable, and one-piece billet
bumpers fore and aft bookend the hotrod beautifully. Turn signals
are nicely integrated into the fenders just below the headlights,
there are tiny side mirrors, and the formerly 2-piece windshield
has been V-butted together, which makes a tremendous difference in
the way the car looks overall. In back, twin tail-pipes poke out
just beyond the rear bumper and the LED taillights blend almost
seamlessly into the fenders. Man, this is a really good looking car
that gives any Blue Oval a run for the money.
The first-class interior is a beautifully-stitched combination of
burlap and tweed and the gray color makes it bright and airy inside
the sporty coupe. The two-tone bench up front is very spacious and
comfortable, matching the big rear seat and door panels perfectly,
with all the components barely showing any signs of use. The dash
was completely restored, and now features an array of classy
Stewart Warner gauges inside the matte gray painted dash, along
with a matching under-dash panel that houses the modern A/C system
and controls for the vehicle's accessories. The driving position is
comfortable thanks to a tilt column with a leather-wrapped Lecarra
steering wheel, and visibility is excellent through the panoramic
windshield. Features like cold A/C and a powerful AM/FM/Cassette
stereo mean that you can drive it to work every day if that's your
thing and you'll never once miss your modern machine. The back seat
is neatly trimmed to match and includes its own matching door
panels, while the trunk is finished with custom side panels adorned
with red "41 Chevy" script that you won't mind showing off.
The powertrain doesn't break any new ground, but it is reliable,
powerful, easy to service, and lots of fun to drive. A 350 cubic
inch Chevy V8 seems like the appropriate choice here, and they
certainly didn't cut any corners during the build to get it in
there. Lots of shiny chrome and detailed components makes it worthy
of showing off, but it's also highly functional with a giant
radiator, power steering and power front disc brakes, and an
upgraded ignition system. Backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic and
10-bolt rear end, it's a combination that was sorted out during the
restoration and remains an excellent choice for guys who like to
drive their rods. A custom front suspension with coil-overs and
rack-and-pinion steering makes it feel sharp on the road, while out
back there's a conventional leaf spring setup with air shocks to
help set the stance. A big gas tank and a snarky dual exhaust note
make this a car you will never hesitate to drive. Sharp 15-inch
American Racing wheels give it an awesome profile and an updated
look, particularly with thick BFGoodrich rubber at all four
corners.
We sell a lot of cars, but the ones that seem to make their new
owners happiest are the well-sorted, fully-engineered rods that
have been built to drive. No worries, just get in and start having
fun. Call today!
