By 1937, Chevrolet had reshaped its passenger-car lineup, with the
Master replacing the lower-priced Standard Six and wearing the
streamlined styling influenced by Harley Earl's Art and Color
Section. Surviving coupes have become especially desirable raw
material for traditional hot rods, and this chopped two-door takes
that prewar shape in a decidedly more muscular direction. Chevrolet
Master history
Under the hood sits a tried-and-true 350ci Chevrolet V8 backed by a
Turbo 350 automatic transmission. It is a classic street-rod
combination built around affordable power, straightforward
maintenance, and a soundtrack that suits the car's chopped profile.
The bright red driver-quality paint gives it plenty of presence,
while the lowered roofline supplies the tough, tucked-down attitude
hot rodders have chased for generations.
This Chevrolet has also received meaningful chassis upgrades. A
Mustang II front suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, power
brakes, and front discs bring more modern road manners to the
prewar platform. Out back, a third-generation Camaro torque-arm
suspension helps plant the power, while a fuel cell mounted in the
trunk handles fuel delivery.
Inside, the white and red cabin features bucket seats, a floor
shifter, center console, radio, and air conditioning. The air
currently blows cool but not cold, so the system will require
attention for maximum performance.
This is being offered as a running and driving project, making it a
compelling choice for someone who wants to enjoy a vintage Chevy
while completing the final details. The horn, taillights, and front
turn signals are currently inoperative and will need repair. With
its chopped top, small-block power, upgraded suspension, and
unmistakable coupe silhouette, this Master has the essential
ingredients for one seriously cool street rod.
