Chevrolet Coupe 217 Inline 6 1940
General description :
This 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe coupe is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The 1940 Line up from Chevrolet was completely redesigned for 1940. They were advertised with the slogan “Royal Clipper Styling” with the lines having some European influence. It would turn out to be a huge success with sales skyrocketing to over a million cars for the first time. This exquisite example has gone through a restoration and taken back to its previous glory. The paint is correct for the era and looks amazing on those swooping lines. With all the trim work in just as nice condition, you better have some sunglasses when looking at this beauty. Pop that Buick style hood and you will see a nicely detailed engine compartment. The inline 6, which is what Chevrolet opted for VS Ford’s Flathead, is as clean as I have seen. The originality is second to none with it still retaining it’s 6V system this beauty is all about originality. Open the door and you will see an interior that is right out of the 40’s. The Mohair seats are comfortable and what you would expect from this top of the line Chevy. The 3 on the tree transmission is guaranteed to take you back to that better time. The dash is in terrific shape with the trim pieces being the best I have seen. If you have been wanting a very original correct pre-war Chevy this beauty is the one for you. Options on this 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe coupe include Cloth Interior, Hub Caps, and Wide White Wall Bias Ply Tires.

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.
