Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present this absolutely
exceptional and stunning example of this virtually all stock and
completely rust and accident free and very rare 1940 Chevrolet
Special Deluxe 'Series KA' 2 Door Convertible Coupe with it's
reliable and virtually bullet-proof six cylinder engine with a
manual synchromesh 3 speed transmission!All Chevy's from 1932
forward had boasted the long-lived and reliable 'Blue Flame' six
engine and amongst its available models the longer wheel base
versions of the 'Master' line, known as the 'Deluxe' versions were
the most desirable. This was a classic prewar Chevy and well
proportioned and solidly built. The top-of-the-line model was known
as the 'Special Deluxe' and it was a much fancier and upscale
edition of the 'Master Deluxe' and which today commands the
attention of serious collectors and enthusiasts everywhere.
Stainless steel moldings trimmed the hood and body belt line and
standard equipment included a 30 hour clock, front door armrests, a
right hand windshield wiper, twin air horns and a deluxe steering
wheel with horn ring. The convertible had a full width rear seat
and power operated top and a choice of different colors of
upholstery and convertible tops was offered for the first time by
Chevrolet. Interiors were richly appointed in cloth fabric and with
leather in the convertible with thick seat padding for extra
comfort. A two-tone woodgrained instrument panel surrounded an
arched speedometer and auxiliary gauges while a clock graced the
glovebox door and a chromed radio grille was positioned in the
center. New to the Chevrolet line were plastic instrument
knobs.This particular car has been beautifully restored and
finished in a striking 'Light Green' color with a light brown
leather interior and matching convertible soft top. The car looks
absolutely beautiful and has been professionally restored with the
whole interior in quite exceptional and virtually flawless
condition throughout! The matching 'Light Brown' Power Soft Top is
also as new and all the restored chromework is also in very
beautiful condition. The original spare wheel is in it's rightful
storage place in the trunk. The 6 cylinder engine is extremely
strong and powerful and this particular car drives magnificently -
must be driven to be believed - drives straight as an arrow with no
strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily
driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money! This
is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving example of a
never abused (and oozing pride of ownership of an obviously always
garaged and rust free example) 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe
'Series KA' Convertible Coupe in simply superb condition
throughout! This is one very rare and highly desirable and
collectible unabused example of one of America's Pre-War classics
and these high quality luxury cars were built to be able to
complete long distances both quickly and in the utmost of luxury
for it's day! We doubt that few finer examples exist anywhere.This
is one very desirable car for any classic American car collector or
obviously any Pre-War classic car enthusiast to add to his
collection and a sure-fire investment that's sure to appreciate
over the years for any classic American car collector!
