Vehicle Description
This 1942 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe has a ton of custom elements and
creature comforts to create the coolest classic street machine
around. So no matter if it's the bold paint, sleek style, leather
interior, four-wheel disc brakes, or fuel-injected V8, you're going
to love it all in this street machine.
Before we dive into all the custom details, it's worth remembering
how rare it is to see a 1942 Chevy...or any car from 1942. The
model year was cut short by WWII, and if the custom-added
manufacturer tag is truly correct, the December 1941 build date
means this one came from the last few weeks. But it's not just the
history lesson that has you loving this coupe. It's a sleek custom
build with 700 miles on it since being fully completed. The bold
red paint is a modern clearcoat application with a good gloss and
great shine to make sure that this Chevy gets noticed. It kicks off
a full custom style where the body has traded in most of its chrome
for a very sleek appearance. For example, they painted the grille,
color-matched the headlight bezels, added the sports mirrors,
deleted the trim, removed the bumpers, and shaved the door handles.
There's even more modern style with clear headlights, custom tail
lights, and wide dual exhaust tips. Plus it's now riding on 17-inch
alloys that help showcase the awesome stance. But more than street
machine style, don't forget to check out the fundamentals. The good
sheet metals, well-fitting panels, and pliable weather-stripping
are big contributors to this smooth and premium appearance.
The key fob has your door popper, and this is your gateway to a
full custom set up. The supple gray leather has a detailed look,
including the ostrich inserts on the seats that also match the
doors. And everything from plush carpeting to clean trunk shows
quality was a priority in the build. A classic coupe like this was
made for comfortable cruising, and so it also offers the right
comfort upgrades. This includes power windows, cup holders, and
provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need recharging to
blow cold again.) And it's built to be a better driver, too, with a
three-spoke sports steering wheel, a tilt column, Billet pedals,
and the carbon fiber-style dash dominated by white-faced custom
gauge package.
This custom car is still Chevy-powered, but now it borrows plenty
of post-WWII technology. The 350 cubic-inch small block has been
upgraded for power with a Weiand aluminum intake and wrapped shorty
headers. Plus, the FAST electronic fuel injection gives you the
kind of power and consistency that they could have only dreamed of
in 1942. You'll also spot the right supporting component, like an
aluminum radiator, an electric fan, and upgraded pulleys on a
serpentine belt system. As you look underneath the car, you'll spot
good driving features like Mustang II-style tubular A-arm front end
and a stout Ford 9-inch rear. Add in a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes, and
you've got a solid all-around cruiser.
This whole car has an impressive detail level, and that's because
we're told it was built by an engineer known for making great
custom cars for himself. So this is your chance at an exceptional
passion project done to a rare and distinct Chevy. Oh yes, this is
the custom car you don't want to miss. Call today!!!
