Vehicle Description
In today's automotive landscape, most spectators like to make hard
distinctions between cars and trucks. Maybe it's an adverse
reaction to excellent crossovers continually gaining share. Maybe
its insecurity over sedans slowly becoming a niche product. Or
maybe it's fear of electricity and autonomy completely redefining
what a car is. Whatever the case, cars and trucks have always
emanated from a common wellspring. For example, Ford's immortal
Model A was produced in a wide array of body styles. The 2-box
sedans of the 1940s could be considered the largest precursor to
modern crossovers. And today, most major OEMs are switching to
modular vehicle platforms that can spawn everything from a sporty
3-door to a full-size pickup. All that said, there are few places
where this all-inclusive mindset has been cooler or more successful
than storied American wagons. And this exceptional Chevrolet DeLuxe
is a choice classic that combines 350 cubic inches of smooth small
block power with an upgraded suspension, automated gears and
captivatingly cosmic appeal!
SURFBOARD NOT INCLUDED
It's no secret that, during the glory of the 1950s and 1960s,
American car designers drew heavy inspiration from space and The
Space Race. While almost every classic from that era is truly
fascinating, perhaps no company perfected the aesthetic better than
General Motors. One of the legendary products that kicked off the
Chevrolet brand's market dominance, the 1952 Styleline is a sight
to behold. The beneficiary of acute restoration, this DeLuxe
Styleline is a razor-sharp head turner that's well known throughout
the street rod community. The car's solid sheetmetal stretches rich
green 2-stage under some of the best simulated wood we've ever
seen. Naturally, that matte, 'Tin Woody' finish is dressed in an
array of attractive stainless. And custom touches include hooded
headlights, a retro chic visor and modern LED taillights.
TIMELESS POWER TO MATCH TIMELESS APPEAL
Check the car's clean engine bay and you'll find 350 cubic inches
of reliable Chevy small block that's lean, mean and ready to roll!
At that top of that familiar mill, a muted Chevrolet air cleaner
drops breeze through a coated Edelbrock 4-barrel. Wired to
stainless lines and a small Russell filter, that spry carb dumps a
crisp mixture of fossils and oxygen in to a muted aluminum intake.
At the back of that plane, a quality HEI distributor sequences
spark through loomed Taylor plug wires. Above those cables, cast
iron heads float attractive Chevrolet valve covers between billet
bowtie breathers and coated block hugger headers. And at the front
of those tubes, March serpentine components spin modern power
steering beneath an aluminum water pump, a modern alternator and a
modern AC compressor.
STREET RODDING DONE RIGHT
Every great automotive profile has an equally great foundation. Not
surprisingly, this DeLuxe rolls on an upgraded suspension that
provides a delightfully lowered stance. The kit kicks off with
lucid power rack-and-pinion steering, which leads a Fat Man
Fabrications independent front-clip. Opposite that hardware, a
factory rear-clip is stacked with lowering blocks. The smooth small
block twists a tough Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed, which spins a GM
10-bolt axle that's finished with mild, 2.73 gears. Power-assisted
stops are provided by a familiar combination of discs and drums.
Aluminized exhaust dumps spent gases into welded, dual-chamber
mufflers. And at the corners of the car, stainless-trimmed steelies
spin bright bowties around 205/65R15 Ironman Radials and 225/70R15
Ironman Radials.
TO THE NINES
Open this wagon's doors and you'll find a custom leather cockpit
that literally took nine hides to complete. Top dead center, a
striking, stainless-trimmed dash floats modern Pioneer audio
between fully rebuilt telemetry and a classy clock. A custom,
full-length console caps clean carpet, which flows to custom,
billet-trimmed side panels. A wood-trimmed headliner crawls toward
a carpeted and leather-trimmed hatch. And in front of the driver, a
polished and leather-wrapped steering wheel laps a polished,
tilting column.
If you're a fan of poise, class and swagger, it doesn't get much
better than this classy DeLuxe! A rare combination of timeless
style and solid drivability, this sweet Chevy is a well-done
classic that'll be a blast on the road and a hit at the show. Don't
miss your exclusive opportunity to experience a stellar piece of
American history!
