Chevrolet Coupe 454 CID V8 1939
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a very well built 1939 Chevrolet Tudor Street Rod. This street rod has been lovingly assembled to be one bad street terrorizing machine. The rod sits on a professionally built chassis with a lot of support to handle a ton of horsepower if it even needed to. The front end has a dropped straight axle, and the rear has a custom 4 link set up. The front has disc brakes, with drums in the rear. She rides on a refinished set of vintage American Racing wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson rubber and Drag radials in the rear. The body has been beautifully restored with Dupont Chroma Pearl Yellow that really pops in the sunlight. The body has been chopped for a more aggressive look, but it still provides plenty of headroom. The panel gaps fit very nicely and the doors close like a much newer vehicle. It has a custom flame scheme for a retro look and as a neat touch, the flames even cover the underside of the front fenders. To match, the interior has been upholstered in bright yellow as well. There's two buckets and the rear houses a welded in roll bar. The Chevy even has a custom Pete and Jake's steering wheel. Under the hood is a nicely dressed 454 CID Big Block V8. It wears finned aluminum valve covers which are vintage Moon items. The 454 is fairly stock, runs well on pump gas, and makes a great cruiser. The transmission is a TH400 with a shift kit that shifts nice and firm. The engine breathes through 3" stainless exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers unless you oncork the side exits which allow for much more noise. Overall this is a well thought out, well put together street rod.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
