1951 Chevrolet Styleline in Weaverville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

This 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible is truly one-of-a-kind as as close as one might get to purchasing brand new in 1951. In total 11975 were made for the 1951 model year. We are selling it as a consignment on behalf of a private collector. It was meticulously restored throughout the mid-late 80's with all original-spec parts. Receipts from the restoration along with miscellaneous purchases throughout the years are included with the vehicle. The vehicle is entirely period correct and correct to the VIN (factory exterior/interior color engine options etc). It was at that time a #1 concourse restoration rated as such by PG Evaluation with documents from the inspection included with sale. It has been stored in a climate-controlled garage under the same ownership since 1998 and only driven roughly 3000 miles since purchase. All of the chrome and bright-work is in excellent condition the paint shows well with some signs of aging in the form of light cracking (crow's foot) only visible upon close inspection or under direct sunlight. There is no evidence of Bondo anywhere on the vehicle and the underside is every bit as clean as the rest with original floors. The "Blue Flame Six" 216cid engine was the only option available in 1951 for the 3-speed and this particular example is numbers matching. The vehicle retains the factory 6V battery system with all original accessories including tube-amplified AM radio and vacuum-actuated wipers with windshield washer fluid. There were many optional extras available in 1951 and this vehicle has them all. These include under-hood and trunk lighting fender skirts tissue box Impala hood ornament fog lamps locking gas cap hydro-electric convertible top and police-style search light with mirror. We also have original GM documentation and pamphlets including of course the owners manual but also "How To Operate Your Convertible Top" "Good Housekeeping In Your Vehicle" "How To Properly Break-In Your Engine" along with the original Sherwin Williams paint code papers Dealer Inspection Certificate and more. This vehicle is an absolute rarity in terms of condition options and documentation and will make any collector truly proud to have it within their arsenal.
