1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe 2 Dr Town Sedan Nicely Restored Great Driving Car

The Chevrolet Deluxe is a trim line of Chevrolet automobiles that was marketed from 1941 to 1952, and was the volume sales leader for the market during the 1940s. In the 1941/42 model years, the 216 cu in (3,540 cc) inline 6 "Victory Six" engine was the only one offered. It produced 85 horsepower at 3300 rpm. The transmission was a manual synchromesh 3 speed, with vacuum assisted shift, in which the "three-on-the-tree" shifter[2] was able to be moved between gears by the slightest pressure on the lever. Third gear was direct, meaning the input and output are equal speeds.The exterior sported smooth curves with chrome and stainless trim. The rear bumper had an optional center bumper guard that had to be ratcheted out of the way so the trunk cover could be lifted. Front and rear bumpers had optional chrome "tips", a dress-up item that bolted to the ends of the stock bumper. Although it wasn't a Chevrolet option, a popular after market feature was a large external sunshade that protected the driver from glare off the metal dashboard.

The interior had cloth bench seats and a metal dash, sometimes with a simulated burl wood grain. The radio was a simple mono vacuum tube type radio with integrated speaker. On the left side of the radio was the throttle knob, marked "T". On the right side of the radio was the choke knob. A manual-wind, 7-day clock was built into the glove compartment door.

This exceptional example was acquired form a long term owner by the seller several years back and selectively restored to as new condition with an eye towards preserving its originality. The car was treated to a bare metal repaint by a very talented painter a few years back and looks pretty stunning. The Paint, Chrome, Glass and Interior are all in top condition, with only one barely noticable shallow dent on the passenger side rear fender. In Excellent Running and Driving Condition the car is ready or the road. Full decked out with all the bells an whistles such as a Sunshade, Rear Bumper Latch, Accessory Stop Light Prism, Incredibly hard to find factory Trim Rings and more, this car is a real show stopper!
