Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coach 3.5 — 1939

This 2-door Chevy Master Deluxe Coach is now 86 years old and has been in the same family for 30 years. It was the father's pride and joy, always stored in a heated garage at 15°C and regularly driven to local vintage car events every summer.

"When the car was backed out of the garage, I asked the owner if it had been renovated recently—it looked so nice. “Yes,” he replied, “fully renovated in 1988.” It’s in such amazing condition, I honestly thought he was joking."

"When the car was backed out of the garage, I asked the owner if it had been renovated recently—it looked so nice. “Yes,” he replied, “fully renovated in 1988.” It’s in such amazing condition, I honestly thought he was joking."

Description

Sadly, the owner’s father passed away a few years ago, and the car was inherited by his son. The family still holds countless fond memories of driving it—this beloved car was part of many special occasions, from weddings and student celebrations to joyful gatherings with friends and relatives. It’s clear this car has been deeply loved and well cared for over the years.

The father bought the car back in 1994, already in fully renovated condition. Since then, it has only required routine maintenance and servicing, and has always been kept in excellent mechanical shape. The renovation had been carried out by a professional with impressive attention to detail—even the chassis frame was galvanized. Remarkably, the underside and bodywork still look as if the work was completed only a few years ago, a true testament to the high level of craftsmanship and care.

One key reason for its well-preserved condition is that it was always stored in the father’s heated garage, maintained at a constant 15°C.

Earlier history is harder to trace due to a lack of documentation, but a nameplate was found for a "Mr. Thommos" from Älvdalen, dated 1946, along with an old tax disc from 1959 from the same area. The car was re-registered in 1988 and later purchased by the father from the individual who had renovated it—also from Älvdalen.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car recently had a check-up, including a brake service and a new battery. It starts up immediately, the engine runs and sounds great, and the engine bay is clean and well-kept. It drives well with a smooth gearbox, solid brakes, and a stable feel on the road. Fitted with nice wheels and good older tires. Various original parts are included—see pictures. It’s inspection-exempt forever and ready for its next owner.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior remains in excellent condition, having been fully restored during the renovation. The seats and door cards were reupholstered in red plush fabric, and the headliner and rubber mats were also replaced. As a deluxe model, it features original details like a clock and cigarette lighter—high-tech features for the 1930s. The original dashboard and gauges are all in great condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is undamaged, with no signs of rust and straight, well-fitting panels. The underbody still looks like new. The paint has a high-gloss finish with no cracks, and you’d have to look very closely to find even the smallest stone chip. The chrome all around is beautifully shiny, and the car is also fitted with a metal roof sunshade.

  • General condition:

    A wonderful car in every way—it's hard to imagine finding a better example, especially one that’s ready to drive away.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
