Vehicle Description
This 1949 Chevrolet Styleline two-door Sedan has that cool classic
shape we rarely see. But as you dig deeper, you discover the right
custom touches that make for a more desirable cruiser - all without
betraying the vintage nature.
This Chevy has all the right curves. The fenders, the hood, and the
wraparound bumper give it that classic front end that could have
only come from Post-War America. And as you go along the side, the
torpedo-like rear fenders even have a fender skirt to make sure you
see the whole swoopy profile. Everything from the two-piece wheel
covers to the two-piece windshield gives this one a nice vintage
look. Window breezies, a custom hood ornament, and wide whitewalls,
really give this a cool cruiser style. That's why the paint was
also upgraded later in life to a more distinct dark green with a
nice metallic element. It all goes towards the theme of a matured
look - almost like a Saturday night cruiser that had been locked
away for decades.
The right mix of vintage and upgrades returns inside. You can tell
the door panels, carpeting, and cloth upholstery were updated later
in life, but nothing too radical to look out of place in a car that
has crossed the 70-year-old threshold. You get a great vintage
feeling just by slipping behind the large and grippy factory wheel
and looking out at the full art deco-style dash. The value price
leaves room in your budget if you want to return the function to
handy upgrades like the tach and R134a air conditioning. And this
already has good cruiser features like auxiliary readouts and front
seatbelts.
The engine bay is nicely detailed with the bright valve cover, AC
offset air intake, and an overall tidy style. This classic Chevy
inline-six is the period correct 216 cubic-inch unit. As a true
cruiser, this one has been upgraded for driving. It's in subtle
ways, like how this is now on a 12-volt system, and that makes it
easier to run features that make this a better cruiser. This
includes an alternator and an electric fan. The column-shifted
three-speed manual transmission gives you proper control over this
powerplant, and the classic whitewalls hide a modern tread. So it
makes for a solid vintage driving experience.
This is the classic Chevy that's built for extra fun. That makes
for a very cool two-door you need to get your hands on now. Call
