Chevrolet Master 207 cubic inch inline-6 1933

General description : High-quality older restoration. Rare 3-window coupe. Smooth-running “Stovebolt” six. Beautifully restored and correct interior with rumble seat. Loaded with accessories. When was the last time you saw a 3-window coupe that hasn’t been hot-rodded?

It’s obvious that the same stylists who designed the 1932 Cadillac were hard at work on the 1933 Chevrolet, and the familial resemblance is impossible to ignore. Looking far sleeker and more sporting than the still-upright 1932 models, this is an absolutely beautiful car. Sweeping skirted fenders were new, the painted radiator shell features a bright mesh insert, and the low roof line makes the 3-window Sport Coupe look especially, ah, sporting. The restoration was finished perhaps 10 years ago, and it offers a period-correct color combination of Medium Cream with black fenders and belt moldings, all accented by red wheels and pinstripe. Finish quality was very good and it is holding up extremely well, which is quite an achievement for a car that has proven itself on dozens of tours since then. There’s a gloss to the finish that probably wasn’t there in 1933 and everything fits together so well that you know it was never a rust bucket or wreck. Deluxe models like this carried such niceties as dual sidemounts, cowl lights, twin horns under the headlights, and a trunk rack out back. That hood ornament was optional, and gives the car a much more upscale look. Simple chrome bumpers accentuate the smooth shape and the running board rubber is in fine condition.

The olive mohair interior is quite correct and in fact, is the same material used in my personal 1929 Cadillac. It wears like iron, looks upscale, and has a simple honesty that works rather well in the cozy coupe. Correct patterns were used throughout, so it looks like 1933 inside, and with the proper materials, it even smells right when you climb behind the wheel. There’s a simple black rubber mat on the floor, which is the right call for a Chevy, but the handsome woodgrained garnish moldings and color-matched instrument panel add warmth. You’ll note that the all-new instrument panel mirrors the shape of the rear window and includes a full set of fully operational gauges with bright markings and clear lenses. Controls are simple: lights, choke, throttle, and an ignition key, and the shifter uses the familiar 3-speed pattern that is still in use today. Getting into this vintage car doesn’t exactly feel vintage. This car offers an accessory under-dash heater and a set of aftermarket turn signals on the steering column, both added for touring. The rear window rolls down so you can talk to the folks in the rumble seat, who get comfortable brown leatherette upholstery and a surprising amount of leg room (or trunk space if there are just the two of you).

Chevy’s bulletproof “Stovebolt” six-cylinder engine really needs no introductions, with this being a correct 207 cubic inch version. This same engine family was powering vehicles into the 1980s, which speaks to the design and its durability. Fully rebuilt and nicely detailed, it’s a wonderful runner with good torque and surprising smoothness that belies its price range. You’ll note that by 1933, Chevy had switched to a proper mechanical fuel pump, as well as a distributor with vacuum advance and a downdraft carburetor, all state-of-the-art innovations that really make a difference. It remains completely stock, including the 6-volt electrical system which still uses the original 3-brush generator to make electricity. It works like it should. There’s an accessory three-note horn that plays a familiar tune, and someone has cleverly installed a cut-off switch on the firewall that can be switched by reaching through the rear-most hood vent instead of opening the hood. Nice thinking! It starts easily with the help of an electric fuel pump, but once it’s underway, you don’t need it and the mechanical pump takes over. There’s plenty of power at any speed and a nice hit of torque off the line.

The 3-speed manual transmission has synchromesh on 2nd and 3rd, so it feels modern and needs no special instructions to operate. Ratios are well-chosen for its mission, which was cruising around town with minimal shifting required, and that’s why it was fitted with 4.10 gears out back—it’s almost impossible to stall this car! There’s nothing exotic on the chassis: rigid axles, leaf springs, mechanical drum brakes, but it all works like it should to provide a genuine 1933 driving experience that’s far more competent and comfortable than you’d expect—those guys who think that installing modern hardware is necessary to have a car you can drive are dead wrong. This car is a joy on the road! There’s recent exhaust system with a nice 6-cylinder grumble and an expensive new stainless steel gas tank hanging out back. Jaunty red wire wheels carry right-sized 5.25/5.50-17 Lester wide whitewall tires that really help with the upscale image.

This car includes a factory Owner’s Manual.

One of the most handsome cars of the period, this Chevrolet stands out in more ways than one. You will likely have the only one at any event (well, the only stock one that isn’t made of plastic, anyway) and you will probably find that the drive is better than the show. These are very nice road cars and this particular Master Eagle coupe is properly sorted and ready to enjoy. Call today!
