1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe

Finished in classic black with a brown/light-burgundy interior, this coupe retains its original Business Coupe identity with no rear seat and a large package storage deck behind the front seating area. Many of these cars have been turned into full street rods, but this example maintains its authentic pre-war appearance and character.

Power comes from a desirable 1960 Chevrolet 235ci inline-six with hydraulic lifters. The engine features vintage performance upgrades including an Offenhauser intake, dual Bayword single-barrel carburetors, and Wayne finned valve and side covers. The engine is finished in traditional Chevrolet orange and additional Rochester carburetors are included with the car.

The interior has a charming period look highlighted by a wood-grain dash and a factory steering wheel equipped with a rare integrated spinner wheel knob. The car also features vacuum-assist shifting, adding to its vintage driving experience. Comfort is enhanced with a Vintage Air heat and air-conditioning system. The car rides on factory-style wide whitewall tires and Commander G78-15 4-ply polyester cord tubeless tires. Period fog lights remain in place (not yet wired), and the car retains four-wheel drum brakes. The odometer currently shows 33,029 miles but is not functioning.

This 1940 Master Deluxe Business Coupe represents a rare opportunity to own an unmodified pre-war Chevrolet with tasteful period upgrades and modern comfort improvements, making it a standout at cruise-ins, shows, and weekend drives.
