Vehicle Description
Chevrolet introduced the Fleetmaster in 1946 as their flagship automobile, replacing the pre-war Special Deluxe. The Fleetmasters were only built for three years, being replaced in 1949 by the Chevrolet Deluxe with Styleline and Fleetline sub-series.That makes this 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster, built at the end of a short run, a unique and highly collectible car. So many of these cars are chopped and dropped and turned into hardcore hot rods. This car has escaped extensive external modifications, retaining its classic good looks, yet boasting an extensively modified drivetrain.
A 350 horse-350 cubic inch V8, Turbo Hydramatic four speed transmission, '74 Nova front clip with power front disc brakes, rear end from a '77 Cadillac Seville - and that's just for starters! This car was restored from an abandoned hulk and the work was done with excellence and attention to detail. Look at the hand-painted wood-grain look interior trim....the fantastic upholstery work by Don's Upholstery...the sparkling brandywine exterior! The exhaust barks when the engine revs, and the tires bite, moving this sweet machine forward with a jump.
This Chevy is clean and mean and ready to be seen. It's just waiting for a driver. If that's you, call Art & Speed at (901) 850-0507. Financing http://www.artandspeed.com/finance available.
