Known for its distinctive fastback roofline, sweeping body contours, and postwar styling, the Fleetline Aerosedan remains a favorite among classic car enthusiasts and street rod builders. This example combines its iconic 1940s appearance with a JASPER 355ci V8, TH350 automatic transmission, Mustang II-style independent front suspension, power steering, upgraded brakes, and a custom interior with modern comforts.

Exterior:

The Fleetline retains its recognizable two-door fastback body style with a gracefully sloping roofline and flowing fenders. The body has undergone custom paint and bodywork, with owner documentation referencing PPG paint products and work performed by Rick's Body Shop in Ellettsville, Indiana. Additional custom touches include a modified fuel filler using a gas door sourced from a 1990 Ford Probe and a 15-gallon polyethylene fuel tank. The combination of classic Chevrolet styling and street rod modifications gives this Aerosedan a distinctive presence.

Interior:

Inside, the cabin features custom upholstery completed by Gibbs Auto Interior, incorporating seating sourced from a 1991 Nissan Sentra. A billet dashboard insert houses VDO instrumentation, while a billet steering wheel and column-mounted automatic shifter add to the custom street rod appearance. Comfort and convenience features include air conditioning, a CD player, and an updated electrical system utilizing an EZ Wiring 21-circuit wiring kit. The interior blends traditional Chevrolet character with modernized equipment for a more comfortable driving experience.

Engine:

Power comes from a JASPER 355ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with an Edelbrock 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor with electric choke, an open-element air cleaner, and polished Chevrolet-branded valve covers. Additional equipment includes Taylor spark plug wires, HEI ignition, a chrome 90-amp alternator, upgraded accessory pulleys, and a finned aluminum oil pan. Cooling is handled by mechanical and electric fans with a shroud. Coated tubular headers feed a custom dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, giving the small-block V8 its classic performance sound.

Transmission:

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a GM TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, operated by a column-mounted shifter.

Drivetrain:

The Fleetline retains a traditional rear-wheel-drive configuration with a solid rear axle. The rear suspension has been upgraded with a Chassis Engineering leaf spring kit and aftermarket chrome PRO shock absorbers.

Wheels and Tires:

The Chevrolet rides on 17x8-inch Eagle alloy wheels wrapped in 225/55R17 radial tires, providing a custom street rod appearance while complementing the Fleetline's sweeping body lines.

Suspension:

The rear utilizes a solid axle with upgraded Chassis Engineering leaf springs and matching aftermarket shocks.

Brakes:

The braking system has been upgraded with power-assisted front disc brakes, larger rotors and calipers, and updated brake plumbing. Owner documentation also references a Corvette-sourced master cylinder and a remotely mounted power brake booster assembly.

Steering:

A power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system replaces the original steering arrangement, providing a more modern setup for cruising and maneuverability.

Undercarriage:

The underside retains its traditional body-on-frame construction while showcasing the upgraded suspension, braking, and drivetrain components. The custom dual exhaust features coated headers and Flowmaster mufflers, while the chassis incorporates upgraded brake plumbing and a custom fuel system.
