Vehicle Description
This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe has the right mix of
street machine style and true classic cruiser. It's a package with
enhanced V8 power, a custom exterior, and quite a comfy interior.
So you just know it's the custom coupe that was made to be
driven.
The long fenders, alligator hood, and desirable coupe profile make
this one of the most sought-after styles for a custom machine. You
can see all these features because it's wearing bright orange paint
with plenty of metallic to let the light show off the curvy sheet
metal. It's quite attractive while overall fit and finish never
approach the kind of fancy that keeps this strictly to your garage.
That's the true hallmark of a street machine. After all, how can
you enjoy driving your classic if every pebble or gray cloud makes
you nervous? And we love how you see custom style from every angle.
The deleted front bumper lets the contoured grille take center
stage. The deleted rear bumper means details like the blue-dot
taillights and polished dual exhaust tips get extra notice, too.
And the staggered tire size on the 15-inch wheels gives it a stance
that complements this Chevy's unique forwarder-leaning
B-pillar.
The interior nicely mixes vintage style with some nice upgrades.
For example, the bench seat is finished in white vinyl with a touch
of classic tuck-and-roll pattern, and orange is used as an accent
on the piping. The door panels are done to coordinate, and the dash
is finished in an attractive orange. Plus, everything from the
carpeting to the fully finished large trunk has the look of
quality. There are also worthwhile upgrades that make this a great
driver. This includes a sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a
full set of upgraded digital gauges. And the AM/FM stereo even has
modern Bluetooth for the best in driving music.
Under the hood is a stout 350 cubic-inch V8. It's nice to have this
updated small block powering a classic Chevy, and this has the
honest style made for carefree cruising. What also makes for a
string/fun driver are upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, an HEI distributor, and shorty headers feeding into the
dual exhaust. Out on the road, you can appreciate the full package
that includes the comfort of a Mustang II-style independent front
suspension, a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes with front discs. And when you have an upgraded
classic with a 350/350 package like this, you know that any extra
improvements you want to do are often inexpensive and easy to
install.
We like the Chevy because it gives you the custom coupe style we
all love, and it has a relaxed disposition that makes for a more
enjoyable driver. So don't let this one slip away. Call
