Beschreibung
The car underwent a new registration inspection in 1972 and appears to have been restored and repainted sometime thereafter, most likely more than 30 years ago. The current owner acquired the car in 2010 and has enjoyed ownership ever since. Being a practical enthusiast with extensive knowledge of the model, he has personally carried out much of the maintenance.
More recently, the car has been fitted with a new fuel pump and a new set of bias-ply tyres, significantly improving both the driving experience and road manners.
One detail worth mentioning is that the engine block suffered a frost crack during the ownership of a previous owner. However, throughout the current owner's 16 years of ownership, this has never caused any issues. The engine is leak-free, operates exactly as it should, and the car has proven to be both reliable and exceptionally enjoyable to drive.
Today, the Chevrolet presents well, featuring a solid body, attractive chrome trim, and a clean, well-preserved interior that retains much of its original character. The paintwork displays some age-related imperfections, including a few minor paint bubbles and touch-ups, but these do not detract from the car's genuine patina or period charm.
Also included with the car is a wonderful collection of period documentation, comprising original sales brochures, owner's manuals, and a road map from 1946, further enhancing the car's historical appeal and overall presentation.
Overall, this is an honest, well-preserved, and highly usable American pre-war classic that can be driven and enjoyed exactly as it is.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand
-
Zustand technisch
The engine starts easily and, once warmed through, the 3.5-litre inline-six runs smoothly and quietly with no unusual noises. It drives well, with an easy three-speed gearbox, solid brakes, and is happiest cruising at 70–80 km/h. The engine bay is tidy, and the car sits on steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and new crossply tyres. Inspection-exempt and ready to enjoy.
-
Zustand Interieur
Interior is clean and tidy, featuring plush fabric seats, door cards, trim panels, and headlining, all in good condition for their age. The left side of the front passenger seat has a small 2 cm repair. The dashboard remains in lovely original condition with its vintage Bakelite knobs, and the car is fitted with an interior heater. Front and rear lap belts have also been fitted for added safety.
-
Zustand Exterieur
These cars were built to last and are renowned for their thick steel panels and resistance to rust. The bodywork on this example is straight, with no notable damage or corrosion, and the underbody is equally solid. The paintwork presents well overall, although closer inspection reveals some age-related imperfections, including paint cracks around panel edges, a few touch-ups, and some small blisters and scratches on the left rear wing (see pictures). The chrome trim and brightwork are clean and present nicely.
