1942 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe

Description

This 1942 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe has a ton of custom elements and creature comforts to create the coolest classic street machine around. So no matter if it's the bold paint, sleek style, leather interior, four-wheel disc brakes, or fuel-injected V8, you're going to love it all in this street machine.

Before we dive into all the custom details, it's worth remembering how rare it is to see a 1942 Chevy...or any car from 1942. The model year was cut short by WWII, and if the custom-added manufacturer tag is truly correct, the December 1941 build date means this one came from the last few weeks. But it's not just the history lesson that has you loving this coupe. It's a sleek custom build with 700 miles on it since being fully completed. The bold red paint is a modern clearcoat application with a good gloss and great shine to make sure that this Chevy gets noticed. It kicks off a full custom style where the body has traded in most of its chrome for a very sleek appearance. For example, they painted the grille, color-matched the headlight bezels, added the sports mirrors, deleted the trim, removed the bumpers, and shaved the door handles. There's even more modern style with clear headlights, custom tail lights, and wide dual exhaust tips. Plus it's now riding on 17-inch alloys that help showcase the awesome stance. But more than street machine style, don't forget to check out the fundamentals. The good sheet metals, well-fitting panels, and pliable weather-stripping are big contributors to this smooth and premium appearance.

The key fob has your door popper, and this is your gateway to a full custom set up. The supple gray leather has a detailed look, including the ostrich inserts on the seats that also match the doors. And everything from plush carpeting to clean trunk shows quality was a priority in the build. A classic coupe like this was made for comfortable cruising, and so it also offers the right comfort upgrades. This includes power windows, cup holders, and provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need recharging to blow cold again.) And it's built to be a better driver, too, with a three-spoke sports steering wheel, a tilt column, Billet pedals, and the carbon fiber-style dash dominated by white-faced custom gauge package.

This custom car is still Chevy-powered, but now it borrows plenty of post-WWII technology. The 350 cubic-inch small block has been upgraded for power with a Weiand aluminum intake and wrapped shorty headers. Plus, the FAST electronic fuel injection gives you the kind of power and consistency that they could have only dreamed of in 1942. You'll also spot the right supporting component, like an aluminum radiator, an electric fan, and upgraded pulleys on a serpentine belt system. As you look underneath the car, you'll spot good driving features like Mustang II-style tubular A-arm front end and a stout Ford 9-inch rear. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes, and you've got a solid all-around cruiser.

This whole car has an impressive detail level, and that's because we're told it was built by an engineer known for making great custom cars for himself. So this is your chance at an exceptional passion project done to a rare and distinct Chevy. Oh yes, this is the custom car you don't want to miss. Call today!!!
