This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Town Sedan has been with the current owner since 2005 and has received several upgrades including a custom steering wheel, an upgraded stereo, and a new AutoMeter instrument cluster. It is powered by a 350cid V8 backed by an automatic transmission. Features include air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD stereo, a tilt steering column, power steering, and power brakes. Finished in yellow over a tan vinyl interior, this Chevrolet comes with a clear title in the seller's name.
In 2008, the reportedly rust-free body was refinished in yellow. Features include removed bumpers, a chrome grille with hidden turn signals, a V-butt windshield, tinted glass, dual rearview mirrors, shaved door handles, molded rear fenders, a power antenna, a frenched license plate, and custom LED taillights. The seller states that minor paint cracks are present.
A set of 14-inch front and 15-inch rear chrome steel wheels with smooth chrome dog dish hub caps is wrapped in 215/70 Cooper Lifeliner GLS radial tires. The seller states that the tires have logged 2,000 since being installed in 2022.
The cabin is furnished with a tan vinyl front bench seat and a matching rear seat surrounded by tan vinyl door panels and trim. Features include chrome window trim, manual windows, power steering, a tilt steering column, a floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter, air conditioning, and a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo with a remote. According to the seller, the air conditioning needs a refrigerant charge. The trunk is fully upholstered to match the passenger compartment.
A set of AutoMeter instruments that includes a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, voltage, and water temperature are located ahead of the driver. A working clock is mounted in the chrome glove box door. With 110,000 miles added during the seller's 19-year ownership, the odometer reads 16,051 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
Power is provided by a 350cid V8 and backed by an automatic transmission. Engine bay features include chrome valve covers, an aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a chrome oval air cleaner housing, a serpentine belt engine accessory drive system, a high-capacity radiator, and an electric fan. The seller states that the spark plugs and carburetor were replaced and the engine was tuned by Al's Speed Shop in Auburn Washington in May 2022.
The chassis has been modified to accept a late-model independent front suspension and a leaf spring-mounted rear drive axle. Braking is power-assisted. A dual exhaust system exits at the rear.
