We have a soft spot for 1937-1939 Chevrolets…here are two current vehicles
and one former vehicle from our garage.
|
One of them is a ½ ton pickup truck which was purchased
new by my Grandfather.
For more information about the
truck see its story in the Stovebolt
Garage Gallery

For 12 years we also had a 2 door sedan which is not stock…small
block V-8, 4-speed, Mustang II front suspension, etc. Here it
is next to the pickup. The color is called Bimini Blue
and was originally a Buick color used in the 1950's.
The 4-speed and rear end are from a 1969 Olds Hurst 442.
The engine is a Chevrolet 283. I installed the front and
rear suspension using components from RB's Obsolete Automotive. We
did the
interior using gray leather seats from a Chrysler LeBaron.

This picture was taken before the smoothy running boards were added. The
entire car is steel except for the running boards. The current owner
is Weldon Carper from Union, Oregon.

The "new" 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe has replaced the 1937 Sedan.
This car was restored by my father. His first car was a 1939 Chev coupe
so it is natual that he would like this model. This particular car was originally
from South Dakota and was brought to the State of Washington about 10 years ago.
My father bought the car soon afterwards and began the restoration process.
