Vehicle Description
1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe 2 Door Sedan
"The first thing the driver of a new car must do is to familiarize
himself with the various controls provided for its proper handling.
This does not apply to the beginner alone, as although there are
many points of similarity between all cars, there are also
important differences; and it is not wise regardless of previous
experience, to drive a new car before fully understanding what each
control is for and how to use it." From the 1938 Chevrolet owner's
manual and words that are even more true today as each specialty
car here at Classic Auto Mall has unique modifications and
features!
For consignment a 1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe 2 door sedan ,
showing 51,893 unverifiable miles, owned by our consignor since
1994 and he has taken it to Hot Rod events all over the East coast
during his stewardship of the car, which was only partially
completed when he purchased it. It's done now, and ready for your
own 1 man parade up and down Main Street or just sit back at the
shows and rake in the trophies.
Note: This vehicle is sold with a Pennsylvania reconstructed
branding on the title
Exterior
There are few colors that pop on the Hot Rod like yellow and this
one is wearing a solid coat of School Bus Yellow which also covers
the center rib of the grille, the headlight housing, and the hood
ornament and trim. The front bumperettes are aggressive billet
hooks while the rears are simple, bullet shaped nibs just above the
chrome exhaust tips. Back in front, the hood is louvered on top and
side trim is accompanied by green and red stripes which also run
the length of the car as pinstripes. In profile, the car is
slightly raked thanks to the Centec wheels which are one inch
higher in back and wear staggered width tires. In back, the
characteristic humpback trunk flanked by taillights that protrude
like Gary the Snail's eyes, (see: Spongebob). Long oblong windows
complement the long, sweeping fenders at either end of wide running
boards. We note a scuff in the yellow paint as the only exterior
imperfection. One wheel is missing the center hub cover.
Interior
Soft gray cloth along with burgundy decorate the door panels in
patterned cloth. Burgundy pleated seat fronts combine with gray
vinyl shells for the tall, bucket seats in front. The back uses
yards and yards of the two colors to create a parlor-like bench
setting surrounded by soft materials and miles of legroom, and it's
all in very nice condition. A GT sport steering wheel fronts the
pinstriped, body colored dashboard housing an aluminum faced gauge
cluster featuring VDO black faced readouts. A Pioneer
AM/FM/Cassette radio is in the center along with a semi vintage
Radio Shack CB radio under the dash. The floor mounted shifter
sticks straight up and is surrounded by gray carpet in good
condition. The gray, stitched headliner is also in very decent
condition with one scratch. The trunk is clean and holds the gas
filler tube and the battery.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a clean 327ci V8 with an Edelbrock intake and
4-barrel carburetor, chromed Chevrolet valve covers and clean
headers attached provide the bling. A TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission is behind it all, sending power to the Ford 8" rear
axle. Power brakes supply the slowing mechanism with discs up front
and drums in the back.
Undercarriage
Minimal surface rust under here and oil only on the flywheel cover.
The knuckles are clean and so are other wheel components. Dual
exhaust comes from the headers and is then completely colored by
surface rust before they encounter clean Super Turbo mufflers and
eventually, chrome tips. A Mustang II front end is matched with
leaf springs in the back to make up the suspension package.
Drive-Ability
The exhaust travels three miles through pipes on this big car to
finally growl a bit out the back as we bring the 327 to life. The
velour-like seats are comfortable and provide plenty of grip and
visibility is quite good with lots of glass around us and a tall
roofline to accommodate them. It's well sorted, has good
acceleration and all functions onboard including lights, gauges,
turn signals, and radio, all work as they should. While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
