1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe

Description

This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe has the right mix of street machine style and true classic cruiser. It's a package with enhanced V8 power, a custom exterior, and quite a comfy interior. So you just know it's the custom coupe that was made to be driven.

The long fenders, alligator hood, and desirable coupe profile make this one of the most sought-after styles for a custom machine. You can see all these features because it's wearing bright orange paint with plenty of metallic to let the light show off the curvy sheet metal. It's quite attractive while overall fit and finish never approach the kind of fancy that keeps this strictly to your garage. That's the true hallmark of a street machine. After all, how can you enjoy driving your classic if every pebble or gray cloud makes you nervous? And we love how you see custom style from every angle. The deleted front bumper lets the contoured grille take center stage. The deleted rear bumper means details like the blue-dot taillights and polished dual exhaust tips get extra notice, too. And the staggered tire size on the 15-inch wheels gives it a stance that complements this Chevy's unique forwarder-leaning B-pillar.

The interior nicely mixes vintage style with some nice upgrades. For example, the bench seat is finished in white vinyl with a touch of classic tuck-and-roll pattern, and orange is used as an accent on the piping. The door panels are done to coordinate, and the dash is finished in an attractive orange. Plus, everything from the carpeting to the fully finished large trunk has the look of quality. There are also worthwhile upgrades that make this a great driver. This includes a sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a full set of upgraded digital gauges. And the AM/FM stereo even has modern Bluetooth for the best in driving music.

Under the hood is a stout 350 cubic-inch V8. It's nice to have this updated small block powering a classic Chevy, and this has the honest style made for carefree cruising. What also makes for a string/fun driver are upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an HEI distributor, and shorty headers feeding into the dual exhaust. Out on the road, you can appreciate the full package that includes the comfort of a Mustang II-style independent front suspension, a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front discs. And when you have an upgraded classic with a 350/350 package like this, you know that any extra improvements you want to do are often inexpensive and easy to install.

We like the Chevy because it gives you the custom coupe style we all love, and it has a relaxed disposition that makes for a more enjoyable driver. So don't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
