� Classic lines, features that previously were only found on more
expensive vehicles and enough body styles to satisfy most customers
were all hallmarks of the 1949 Chevrolets. MotoeXotica Classic Cars
is proud to present this 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline Special Two-door
Aerosedan. This fastback sedan is tastefully customized to a small
degree but it is full of big style! The heavy metallic flake paint
job with the black scallops look amazing on this lowered coupe with
wide whites and full moons, the inline six has a muscular tone out
of the rear dual exhaust and the red and white interior interweaves
perfectly with the exterior! Dressed in a sparkling dark gray
metallic and black and red pin stripped scallops, the paint and
trim are in very good condition overall, with some minor blemishes
visible upon close inspection, on the hood, fenders, both doors and
on the beltline trim. The windshield and other windows are all in
good form, with no haze or chips evident. The vehicle's lights are
in similar good condition. The car rolls on Coker Classic wide
whitewall tires, size G78-14, surrounding full moon wheel covers
and the Aerosedan suspension have been lowered. Both the tires and
wheels are in great shape. There are no windshield wipers and the
door handles have been shaved but all of the car's body panels are
in fine form and straight and the front, rear bumpers and trim are
shiny and are in good condition. Under the counterbalanced hood is
the original 216.5 CID inline six-cylinder upgraded with a Fenton
exhaust header and dual exhaust, buttoned to a three-speed manual
transmission. The engine bay is tidy and the battery appears new.
Inside, the white seats are in very good condition and contrast
well with the new charcoal carpet. The bright red metal dashboard
and three-spoke steering wheel with the Hand-E-Gearshift look
great. The door panels are in decent condition, as are the mirrors.
This is a radio-delete model and the fuel, speedometer, and oil
gauges are currently inoperable. The car also currently operates
without a set of keys. The�Chevrolet Deluxe�was marketed from 1941
to 1952 and was the volume sales leader for the marque during the
1940s. In 1949, all the Chevrolets got the first new styling after
the war.�New-for-1949 features included 30 percent more glass area
from a new curved windshield combined with a 32 percent slimmer
A-pillar for panoramic visibility. The cars were the first and only
ones in the low-priced field with push-button exterior door
handles. Center-point seating placed the seats between the axles
for a smoother, quieter ride and better ingress and egress due to
wider doors. The seats were 60" wide, brought a new sense of
roominess and comfort and with a built-in footrest under the front
seat, allowed rear seat passengers to stretch their legs regardless
of where the front seat was. Another new feature was a
counterbalanced trunk lid that locked when closed, eliminating a
handle to turn. Other new or improved features for 1949 included:
Center-point Steering Certi-safe Hydraulic Brakes with new braking
ratios Improved Knee-Action front suspension with new Airplane-Type
Shock Absorbers, front and rear Improved Valve-in-Head engine and
improved carburetion with a new fast idle mechanism Improved timing
gear lubrication Improved air cleaner Thirty-three square inches
more frontal cooling area with new radiator design Larger, more
efficient spark plugs Improved motor mounts Hand-E-Gearshift
Improved transmission with 50 percent more bearing support Rugged
frame with sturdier body attachment Safer, single-unit exhaust
system Extra wide wheel rims Extra-low pressure tires Positive-type
pushbutton starting Improved parking brake control Faster-filling,
vented fuel tank Competition to this Chevrolet in 1949 included
Ford's Custom Tudor Six and Nash's Airflyte 600 two-door sedan.
