Chevrolet Fleetmaster 350 V8 1948
General description :
350 V8, AUTO, PS, PB W/FRNT DISCS, COLD R134a A/C, MUSTANG II IFS, STRAIGHT '48!
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 affordable? Call today!!!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
