During the restoration, the Fleetmaster received a full repaint in its current Toreador Red Poly exterior paint that still presents very well today. The Chevrolet's Toreador Red Poly exterior shines extremely well and is in overall excellent condition.

Powering this Fleetmaster convertible is a Chevrolet 350 cubic inch small block crate engine backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Both the engine and transmission perform just as they should and effortlessly pull this Chevrolet down the road. Transferring power to the rear wheels is a Chevrolet 10-bolt posi-traction rear end equipped with 3.73:1 final drive gears. This 1947 Chevrolet handles the road very well and aiding that is the welded-in Camaro front subframe. This Chevrolet is nicely equipped with options such as: power steering, power front disc brakes, power convertible top, power front windows, factory AM radio (in-op), tilt steering column, heater/defrost, variable speed wipers, and in-dash tachometer.
