Chevrolet went to market in 1940 with a bold tagline: "Royal Clipper Styling." The lines were more flowing, a new one-piece alligator hood opened from the cowl, and the Special Deluxe sat at the very top of the Chevrolet lineup as the most refined and fully equipped version you could buy. More than half of all Chevrolets sold in 1940 were Special Deluxe models, which tells you everything about how well the public received it. This one has been taken well beyond what left the factory, with a chopped top that lowers the roofline and tightens the profile into one of the cleanest shapes in the custom car world. It has won multiple trophies and turns heads at every show it attends. Finished in black with exterior chrome trim gleaming throughout, it looks exactly the way a custom pre-war Chevrolet should.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic inch V8 backed by a three speed automatic. This combination drops a modern, reliable drivetrain into one of the most visually striking bodies of the pre-war era, giving you the style of 1940 and the dependability of something built decades later. It starts, runs, and drives the way a car this good looking deserves to.
Inside, the grey cloth bench seat is clean and comfortable. An upgraded modern dash and gauges give you a clear read on everything under the hood while keeping the interior looking finished and intentional. A Pioneer stereo handles the audio, and a battery disconnect keeps everything protected when the car is sitting. This is a cabin that has been thought through from every angle.
The 1940 model year also brought sealed beam headlights to Chevrolet for the first time, a technology that had only just been approved for use on American roads. It was the kind of forward-thinking detail that defined the Special Deluxe as the premium offering in Chevrolet's lineup. On a chopped custom like this one, those same headlights sit lower and meaner than they ever did from the factory, and the effect is something that photographs only partially capture.
A show-winning chopped top custom on one of the most beautiful pre-war bodies ever built. These do not come along like this often.
