1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe 2 Door Sedan

For consignment, a 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe 2 door sedan showing 2,913 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a title exemption. Show prepped inside and out, this red on gray example is ready to roll!

Exterior
The dramatic, artful profile of the vehicle stands out, based in Ruby Red Metallic augmented by some thoughtful trim from Chevrolet, including the side spear broad enough at the head to include the word "De Luxe". The fantastic beltline piece that drifts back over the C-pillar, and the deco-like gravel guard on the rear fender emboldened by the presence of a fender skirt that hides a dressy chrome wheel. You can see what you're missing by looking at the front, a 15-inch chrome steel wheel wrapped in wide white walls. Yellow fog lights and a torpedo shaped hood ornament are standouts up front and a visor shades the windshield. Our wide back has small tail lights but large exhaust tips along with some custom painted wording. Imperfections include touched up scratches and chips, some blistering and bubbling and a cracked window, but overall the body, paint, and trim is very nice.

Interior
Gray cloth and vinyl are delineated by dark red piping and that remains true on the door panels, front and rear seats, and the fully finished trunk where even the spare is covered in the decorative palette. There's some slight age overall but generally all surfaces are in good condition. Up front, a leather wrapped banjo style steering wheel fronts a showy dash blanketed in spun aluminum design and housing white faced Classic Instruments gauges, while a bright, chrome speaker cover puts a proverbial jukebox in the center over a row of ivory knobs and a Vintage A/C system. Burgundy carpet with gray trim line the floor beautifully, and the reverse configuration is seen on the headliner where the bows take on the red, all in great shape.

Drivetrain
Get your sunglasses on for this one as the 350ci V8 is laden with chrome and polished surfaces and it's made twice as bright by the mirror finish on the firewall. On top is an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and behind it is a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Coated headers are noted as well as power steering and air conditioning.

Undercarriage
A few polished components underneath attempt to dress it up but overall, we'd call it driver quality. There are some rust holes on the inner rockers and some errant oil drift and some rust on the driver's door bottom. For equipment, we have dual exhaust that flows through glasspack style mufflers on their way to enlarged chrome tips and brakes are configured as front disc and rear drum. Suspension included coil overs up front and leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
Think of it as Chevrolet's version of a lead sled as she's long and wide and the trusty 350 starts up with a healthy exhaust note, and off we go to the test loop. The first thing we notice, after the exhaust, is some binding in the steering during turns. Beyond that, the car moves out well and tracks straight and the interior is a warm and comfortable place to be. We note the reverse lights and clock are not working but all other functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

This is an impressive looking car with every top surface being treated to some custom touches and colors that have stood up well and we'd have no hesitation about taking this to car shows and cruise nights this weekend! The fantastic forward leaning design of the profile is a sight to behold, even from the driver's seat!
