Vehicle Description
This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe sedan was given the right custom
detail on the outside to maximize the distinct look of the pre-war
sheet metal. And when you spot the fully upgraded interior and V8
power, you start to fully appreciate how this classic Chevy was
made to be a solid cruiser for today.
We like the way this one uses custom details to maximize the
vintage appeal. For example, there are deleted bumpers, frenched
headlights, a frenched license plate, deleted trim, and door
handles. This gives the classic lines a sleeker style, and it makes
this one look like what the designers always hoped the 1940 sedan
would really be. After all, this still keeps all the right vintage
details, like the curvy fenders, running boards, two-piece wheel
trim, and the alligator hood that fits so well with the chrome
grille. Even the two-tone paint has the right look of vintage with
black and gray, but a nice hint of metallic is another way this one
modernizes the details. It's a driver-quality package, and that's
because this is a car that's meant to be driven. After all, those
redline tires and big exhaust tips are for true street
cruisers.
The interior continues the two-tone style and it also continues the
feeling of thoughtful upgrades. You have later model high back
bucket seats finished in gray vinyl and comfy lighter gray cloth
inserts. The door panels, carpeting, and headliner all have a clean
style and coordinated look. The rear seat also matches, and the
amount of legroom back there will make your passengers feel
chauffeur-driven. This level of luxury also comes from the added
features like the AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, cup holders,
center console, and provisions for air conditioning (it will likely
need a recharge to blow cold again.) And there's a comfortable
driving position with an upgraded sports steering wheel on a tilt
steering column that gives you a clear view of the VDO gauges.
A custom like this deserves upgraded power. And so under the hood
is Chevy's 305 cubic-inch small block. It inhales deeper with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power
as shorty headers feed the dual exhaust. It's not out to be a hot
rod, but the V8 does give it the proper added power to be a
confident cruiser. And that easy driver feeling is furthered by the
three-speed automatic transmission and front disc brakes.
This one loves to be a true classic and a true cruiser. So if
you've been looking for the right vintage car to fully enjoy with
everyone, this is your Chevy. Call today!!!
