Vehicle Description
1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Custom
When 1933 rolled around it was time for Chevrolet to change things
up and replace the Eagle from years prior. The result was the
Master and Master Deluxe line of vehicles. The Master Deluxe was
the more expensive luxurious model offered by Chevrolet and
although the name continued until 1942 the design changed
drastically throughout its run. Every year there were changes in
appearance as the style moved from the typical early 30's look with
a flat nose and wide fenders to more rounded fenders, V front end
and more. Cars were becoming much more roomy for passengers and in
1935 they switched over to a "turret top" design eliminating the
need for any wood in their construction. This was a unique time for
automobiles with GM introducing the "Art and Color Section" headed
by pioneer Harley Earl for the sole purpose of focusing on design
quality and eye catching style.
This 1939 Master Deluxe is a beautiful example of one of these cars
and is among the nicest around. The build was professionally done
and nothing left untouched. Keeping with that "Art and Color" ideal
of GM this is a truly well thought out and designed car. The car
was purchased from its original owner prior to the build. That's
over 80 years with only 2 owners! The current owner is a car
builder who is well respected in the industry and built the car for
himself. He didn't cut any corners on the car. It has been
nicknamed "The Godfather" and has been road tested for over 10,000
miles. The body is in excellent condition and all original steel
with the exception of the widened rear fenders and custom built
running boards with one of a kind stainless steel trim. The paint
looks awesome out in the sunshine and was done by one of the best
paint & body guys in the area. It is a 2000 Saturn Black Blue paint
with custom pinstriping by Frank Palmer, who you guessed it, is
also one of the best. Anyone that has laid there hands on this car
during its construction were pros. The stainless steel bumpers have
a beautiful finish and feature hidden bolts and custom hand formed
painted fillers for a slick seamless look. If GM had seen these
they would have tried to steal the idea. All of the polished
stainless on the car has a nice shine including the laser cut front
grill. H4 headlights have been added up front with chrome LED
taillights in rear along with a 3rd brake light for extra
visibility. Other very clean modifications are the shaved door
handles and the frenched license plate.
You are going to read "one of a kind" throughout many features on
this car but one of the most notable has to be the wheels. If you
don't recognize them right off that's because these owner designed
wheels were custom built by EVOD industries. There is no other set
of them in the world, the only one is on this car. The spokes were
designed to mimic aluminum connecting rods paying tribute to the
owners Drag Racing history. They are engraved with the owners name
and also have custom center caps to document their uniqueness. If
you purchase the car not only will you be getting a high end
classic but you will have the only other set of these wheels in the
world. Act fast before he changes his mind! Should you want to
purchase the car without them we are willing to consider a lesser
price of $62,500. They are wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza Z tires
that have plenty of life left in them.
Lift the nice steel hood from either side to reveal the beautifully
dressed up small block Chevy 350 motor. There is polished billet
components everywhere you look and all fasteners are stainless
steel. Even the lines and hoses are a nice combo of both braided
and hard stainless. It is definitely something you will want to
show off but also runs out extremely well. It has no smoking issues
and is a reliable car to cruise around in. With power disc brakes
and power rack & pinion steering it has been set up to be a
comfortable driver. The Texas heat is no match for it with a
polished aluminum Griffin radiator, dual electric fans and a custom
shroud. The transmission is a 700R4 automatic which sends power
back to the 8 inch Ford rear end. It sits on a complete Fatman
chassis with all polished stainless components throughout. Other
very well done features include the March serpentine belt system,
polished stainless steel tank, and polished stainless box with
shelf for the battery under the right front fender. We are sure
something got left out but we are confident any component in
question on the car is of the highest quality.
The interior was completely redesigned in a high end Beige glove
leather that has been very well maintained since finished. It has
very nice bucket seats up front with shoulder harnesses and in back
it has lap belts. Between the seats is a custom console that houses
a cupholder and the Lokar shifter. The car features Walnut accents
throughout which contrast the upholstery color perfectly. When
sitting in the car don't forget to look up because hidden above is
a hand formed, hard headliner that has over 100 hours of
craftsmanship invested into it alone. The Walnut overhead console
beautifully runs down the center section and incorporates ambient
lighting and a mounting place for the Clarion AM/FM/CD player. The
hand formed dash has a matching Walnut Wabbit's insert with curved
glass Classic gauges and inset aftermarket adjustable AC vents. It
has a nice chrome tilt steering column topped off with a very clean
Walnut Banjo steering wheel. Walnut accents were also custom made
for the door panels to frame the handles and power window controls.
The trunk of the car is finished out just as nicely as the
rest.
From front to rear this car leaves nothing to be disappointed in.
It is a very well done build and uses only the highest level of
components throughout.
