Vehicle Description
Bright, distinctive, and totally custom, this 1948 Chevrolet
Fleetline coupe mixes vintage styling with 350 small block power, a
comfortable A/C interior, and so much more to be the perfect
anytime classic.
The sweeping fenders and rounded rear end of the Chevy's sheetmetal
were made for this Electric Blue Metallic paint. It has a modern
shine that highlights the vintage curves, and that's what this
custom coupe does best. The '48 styling has its roots in pre-WWII
America, but features like the clear headlight lenses, sporty side
mirrors, LED brake lights, and lowered stance are great distinctive
upgrades. And speaking of distinctive, have you seen how the side
trim is actually slick paint, or the cool pinstriping above the
frenched in license plate? Plus, a proper American classic has to
have all the right brightwork, which includes the grille, front
bumper, rocker trim, and those impressive Weld wheels. But the best
part might be in the rear where the elimination of the rear bumper
means the quad tailpipes make an even bolder statement.
Inside is more custom blue, this time it's part of the custom door
panel, carpet, and seat inserts. You can instantly see that this
setup is far more comfortable than anything that came out of the
'40s, and that's exactly how to view the interior. Sure, the dash
has that cool original Art Deco brightwork, but within it are now
clear VDO gauges. And just ahead of that is a bright custom two
spoke steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. This coupe even has
modern R134a air conditioning so you can stay cool while looking
cool in your vintage ride.
Open the hood and the smooth firewall in the engine bay signals
that this coupe is ready to be shown off. Plus all the bright
elements like the cross flags air grabber, alternator, radiator
shroud, and ribbed valve covers make for great looking total
package. And beyond the flash of this 350 cubic-inch V8 is the
substance of an Edelbrock intake, four-barrel carburetor, and
rumbling glasspack-style dual exhaust. This give the classic Chevy
plenty more power and poise than the inline six it was born with,
and the improvement don't stop there. The front suspension has bee
upgraded to a Mustang II-style independent unit for added comfort.
Plus, there's a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and front disc brakes. So you're looking at a total package that's
an easy choice for an anytime cruiser.
A very well built cruiser, this 1948 Chevy is handsome and quite
comfortable at shows or on the road. Who knew versatility was this
