Now that a lot of us have kids and familiesand#44; full-sized hot rods are starting to make a lot of sense. Take this 1936 Chevy Master Deluxe 2-door sedan for example: lots of roomand#44; a decent trunkand#44; and still carrying all the upgrades youd want in your next rod. And contrary to what youve been taughtand#44; some sedans look downright awesome when given the full treatment. Sleek and aerodynamicand#44; this Master Deluxe was the top-of-the-line Chevy in 36 and shows off its Art-Deco influences throughoutand#44; a look that hasnt gone out of style and probably never will. Finished in original red steel with traditional glass black fenders and running boardsand#44; its likely not this cars original color combination but it does look right. The body is 100% GM steel (sans fenders/boards) to capture the full-lookand#44; although there are a few flourishes here and thereand#44; from the custom rear bumpers framing the faired-in license plate to the late-model Cadillac taillights frenched into the rear deck to the shaved front bumper. Fit and finish are quite goodand#44; and the doors close with that distinctive sound that only vintage cars demonstrate. Most of the original trims still in placeand#44; tooand#44; including the lovely waterfall grilleand#44; hood trimand#44; and scrolled door handles that look like miniature works of artand#44; even on a Chevy. Tinted glass all around makes it comfortable inside and updates the lookand#44; and even the running boards are trimmed properly so theyre still usable as intended. The interior sticks with traditional hot-rodding styleand#44; offering gray tweed upholsteryand#44; bucket seats up frontand#44; and the original bench in back. More tweed covers the door panels and dashand#44; offering a vintage-looking pattern thats neither too ornate nor too plainand#44; and it all remains in outstanding condition thanks to tweeds tendency to wear like iron. The original dash has been dressed up with a billet gauge panel full of white-faced gauges from Classic Instruments and a molded in Chevy Bowtie emblem in the center. A leather-wrapped steering wheel on a tilt column looks awesomeand#44; and for entertainmentand#44; theres a JVC AM/FM/CD stereo tucked under the dash. The trunk is big enough to carry a surprising amount of luggage on your next road tripand#44; and is fully upholstered so you wont be embarrassed when its time to unload your gear. Theres even a space-saver spareand#44; just in case. The most critical ingredient in any rod is the powertrainand#44; and this Chevy delivers with a 350 cubic inch V8 that has been neatly wedged between the flowing front fenders. Topped by an aluminum mid-rise Edelbrock intake and a big Holley carburetorand#44; it gives this vintage sedan the moves of a muscle car. Its also neatly dressed with plenty of chromeand#44; a trick air cleanerand#44; and contrasting red plug wires that add some flash. A big Walker radiator keeps things cool and that big cool can on the firewall looks a lot like a vintage oil filter. Underneath youll find a Mustang II front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering and power disc brakesand#44; so it drives like a much more modern car. A TH350 3-speed automatic means cruising is simpleand#44; and the dual exhaust system features big mufflers for a mellow sound that doesnt get annoying on long trips. Sparkling Cragar mag wheels contrast with the inky black paint and wear staggered 195/70/14 front and 205/70/15 rear tires. A well-built rod that needs no excusesand#44; this 36 Chevy combines plenty of style and performance with the space to take the family with you. Call today! |
