VEHICLE DESCRIPTION This 40 Chevrolet Special Deluxe is a true pre-WWII treasure that celebrates the best vintage fantasies, right down to the whitewall tires and year-correct motor. But as you look over this classic, you will see the attention to detail. It all makes for an all-around solid vintage motoring package. The glossy brown paint looks just right on this pre-war coupe. After all, this is the Special Deluxe, and so it has the high-class look -especially with the classic whitewalls. The shine loves to show off terrific elements, like the shapely headlights that integrate into the curvy fenders. And this one really has all the best true vintage details, like the two-piece windshield, running boards, and alligator hood. Plus, the era of WWII rationing wasn't in full effect, so these 1940 cars got the best brightwork. You have the large artful grille, chrome bumpers with triple overrides, two-piece wheel trim, and full-length body trim. The total impression is stylish and complete. And as you look at the full package, you realize that this was built to be a classic you can fully enjoy. The interior keeps the classic style with just a touch of a modern twist. The seats have a vintage-like pattern, but these ultra-plush benches are comfortably finished. Add in fresher carpeting, and this makes for a nice place to spend some time. While there are newer investments in this Chevy, the full atmosphere inside never loses the vintage feeling. You have the art deco dash, classic three-spoke steering wheel, and under dash heater. The engine bay looks exceptionally stock, right down to the oil bath air cleaner. In fact, this 216 cubic-inch inline six decodes to a year-correct motor. So over 80 years later, and it's believed that you're still looking at the original power plant! And the way that this one fires up and runs today signals it has been under good care for generations. These inline motors have a smooth nature, and the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission gives you proper control. The result is a strong-running classic that is also quite fun to drive. This is the vintage car fans who love a Sunday drive. So when pre-war classic like this is up for grabs, you know you need to act quickly to get it home.
