Vehicle Description
1951 Chevrolet Deluxe 2 Door Sedan
The Chevrolet Deluxe is a trim line of Chevrolet automobiles that
was marketed from 1941 to 1952, and was the volume sales leader for
the market during the 1940s. The line included at first a 4-door
sedan, but grew to include a fastback 2-door "aerosedan" and other
body styles. The 1941 Chevrolet was the first generation that
didn't share a common appearance with Chevrolet trucks, while the
Chevrolet AK Series truck did share common internal components.
For consignment, a once mild mannered 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe 2 Door
sedan that probably sat in suburbia dutifully awaiting the Mr. or
Mrs to get in and drive to work, the store, or even skirting the
edge and out to a fancy dinner! Well, (record needle
SCRAAAAAHHHHTCH!), no longer. Now a custom creation with colorful
paint just like its total build, get ready to shake rattle and
roll!
Exterior
A bit of what they call shaving has gone on with all chrome
removed, and what did stay is painted in either bubblegum pink, or
sexy Smurfette blue. With its top shaved 4 inches and suspension
lowered just a bit, which is commonly known as smashing by the hot
rodding crowd, this all steel car now floats on 15-inch flattened
moon caps wrapped in front by 195/65R15's from the 48th week of
2016, and 215/60R15's from the 50th week of 2018. The front of the
car blows you away with its bubble gum pink scallops which are not
like any other, as they are noteflames Yikes, its looking more like
streaks which begin their change over other Smurfette blue at the
firewall. Here the blue takes over and bathes the remainder of the
car's chopped tinted glass top, bulbous rear trunk deck and fenders
which have vertical rectangle frenched tail lights. While we're at
it, let's bathe the bumper in blue as well! On the trunk is a
painted badge naming this beauty as "Tapped Out" with a flaming
bowtie with a 51 inside of it, all in the bubblegum pink. Wild
teardrop side view mirrors through which you cannot see a damn, but
they look cool as hell, are hanging off of either side. The
headlights have been frenched and the bumper is gone like a freight
train, gone like yesterday, gone like a soldier in the Civil war
Bang Bang...
Interior
Before climbing in I did check my shave in those mirrors, so I do
stand corrected. I could see my face was as smooth as a baby's ass,
but I digress. Dark blue leather, totally custom, garnishes the
uppers which have a large molded armrest, billet actuator and power
window toggles are on for the dress up. White uppers for the sills
and blue carpeting for the lowers, which moves inside and covers
the floors too. Inside, smoking chair quality dark blue overstuffed
leather with buttons bathes the low back buckets. A long shift
lever reaches for the driver and a billet style rally steering
wheel fronts the dash on an adjustable stalk and power turns the
front wheels to carve curves. The dash is totally custom, a full
metal jacket bathed in white with aluminum billet style panels for
the instruments and Vintage Air controls. We see a killer
AM/FM/Cassette & 10 disc CD changer which will keep you in tunes
until the tank runs dry on the car or your concentration to drive
it. In the back, 2 plus 2 rear overstuffed buttoned leather bench
has plenty of romper room in case you get bored or a glimmer in
your eye and a tingle in your thigh at the drive in. Stop right
there! I gotta know right now before we go any further. Do you love
me??
Drivetrain
Under the hood sits a 350ci V8 crate engine, (what company is
crate? KIDDING!!!), that gleams with shine and growls like a mad
alpha lion. It has Edelbrock for the intake manifold and 4-barrel
carb. A TH350 is the 3-speed automatic variety and a 10 bolt
pumpkin is spinning the rears. Dual exhaust with Cherrybomb
mufflers is there for the exhale. ...And we were glowing like the
metal on the edge of a knife...I slept on it and the answer is YES,
YES, YES, OH GOD YES!
Undercarriage
Nicely preserved spray on undercoating from the late 80's or early
90 from which this car emerged in its present state abounds
underneath. Mustang 2 front suspension and leaf sprung rear
suspension is on, along with disc front and rear drum respectively.
Woooooah!
Drive-Ability
I slipped inside and after having multiple visual and sensory
orgasms, I fired it up and off to the test track I sped. Here it
responded to my goosey boot, shifted nearly unnoticeably, and came
to a grinding halt when I got in a panic and saw the Mall wall
upcoming and brought it back to double nickels. All conveniences
were working just swimmingly, and I got out and has a smile in my
face and a cigarette...SIGH
Just a neato build from yore harkening back to the days when Miami
colors were hotter than anything around, shaving, frenching,
smashing, and tinting were also all the rage and this heavy Chevy
has completed the transformation retro style and now has reverted
back to cool. I'll take 2 please.
