Vehicle Description
1933 Chevrolet Master 4 Door Sedan
Overall the thirties and early forties were good and innovative
years for the Chevrolet marque. In 1933 Chevy introduced two
classes of car, the Master Eagle for the upscale market and the
mid-year arrival Mercury for the budget conscious. Styling was more
streamlined on the Eagle, bumpers were standard, and Starterators
were included. Starterators connected the accelerator to the
starter motor, enabling a driver to restart an accidentally stalled
engine with the tap of a foot. 450,000 Eagles were produced during
the 1933 year and customers began referring to the Eagle as the
Master. The name change stuck.
For consignment, this nice Chevrolet Eagle (Master). This 4-door
1933 design with an extra-long body and rear window, canvas top,
and cowled hood, running boards and early design, it's truly a
gangster car. Black paint for the body and the fenders and running
boards, it's got a nice patina and steel spoked wheels. A fresh
from long term storage and display find, gracing the East wing of
our Hallowed Halls.

Exterior
Fresh from long term storage and the beneficiary of an older
restoration, this exterior is showing with the miles deep black
paint job still retaining its shine and luster. Soome light of
chipping, staining, and dulling is noted but nothing that detracts
from the overall styling and beauty. Running boards with their
clean rubber toppers fill the space between the artistically swept
front and rear fenders. 4 doors are seen, the front two are hinged
at the firewall, the rear doors are suicide hinged at the C pillar
on the rear. Curved door handles in chrome are on the exterior and
up front is a chromed radiator cover with grille, which retains a
wonderful shine. Single headlights flank the grille and are
attached with a post that mounts to the front fenders. Chrome horns
are just under each headlight for a little extra dress up. Also, a
simple bumper is seen on the front and rear of this car. The long
cowled hood sports a trio of vents on either side, and covers the
restored engine bay, and butts up tto the radiator cover up front.
The roof is a canvas panel and is in near showroom condition. Black
steel wire spoked 18-inch wheels are all around and are wrapped in
thin rubber tires which are 5.25/5.50x18 in size.
Interior
Cleanly restored with modern gray fuzzy broadcloth mohair coverings
all over including the door panels, and overstuffed interior
benches. These benches for the front and rear have large tuck and
roll panels, and prestige with buttons and piping in gray. This is
the same for the rear bench which has side arm rests like a couch,
and no tears or rips. More gray mohair for the inside pillar covers
and the headliner. Up front is the original restored dash in black
and a centrally located horizontal metal ribbed gauge cluster
houses original gauges. Small inset areas of wood veneer are
framing the dash on either side. A black Bakelite steering wheel
fronts the dash. Floating this interior is clean black rubber
matting and we note the optional heater hanging under the
passengerside of the dash.
Drivetrain
A clean, mean and blue inline 6-cylinder engine is within the
engine bay, under the cowling hood. A 206.8ci engine it is and has
a single 1-barrel carburetor on the side. A 3-speed manual
transmission is attached to the back sending power to the 4.11
geared rear axle.
Undercarriage
Very little surface rust on the glossy black floor pans, frame and
body hangers with no invasive rust to be seen underneath. Also,
there are a few of areas which have an excess of grease buildup
from years of greasing maintenance being covered by road dirt. Road
dirt is present on most of the suspension parts which include leaf
springs all around, and mechanical drum brakes on all 4 corners.
Lower door panels on the inside surface are showing some light
surface rust and light wood rot issues but remain intact.
Drive-Ability
While complete and intact, long term storage does have a tendency
to cause issues with fuel systems so we did not try to start this
old bowtie.
Certainly, rust free, just with a need for some mechanical TLC on
the drivetrain, brakes and suspension. Charming lines throughoutand
the interior is like new gray mohair all around. A survivor if you
will, right out of the gangster era, with the extra rear sliding
window, and awesome Art Deco styling.
