Details: The exceptionally curvaceous body of the 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster is the perfect place to start for the full hot rod treatments. With everything from a full flame paintjob to a performance-built 350 crate motorand#44; you know it has all the right moves on the streets. But what you might not expect are all the extrasand#44; like the four-wheel disc brakesand#44; overdrive transmissionand#44; and A/C interior.


The job of a car like this is to standout in all the best ways. The superb bodywork includes all the right investments in a customand#44; including shaving the door handlesand#44; adding sport mirrorsand#44; LED taillightsand#44; lowering the suspensionand#44; and chopping inches out of the roofline so it has that unmistakable custom appearance from the first moment you lay eyes on it. And speaking of first impressionsand#44; its hard to get cooler than the custom two tone blue and teal thats separated by those awesome custom flames. Its the kind of bold standout that means even traditionally chromed areas like the grilleand#44; bumpersand#44; and headlight surrounds were either painted or deleted so the effect could be much more modern and dramatic. But it wouldnt be a true American street rod without some brightworkand#44; and now that comes from the custom American Racing wheels.


The gray cloth interior is a complete custom joband#44; because after alland#44; there were no comfortable high-back bucket seats in the 40s. Comfort is a central theme hereand#44; with a custom-made center console that includes cup holders. Power windows and a power drivers seat were addedand#44; along with a well-integrated air conditioning system that runs modern R134a. The driver gets a terrific gray and chrome Lecarra steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. Beyond that is a full set of VDO gaugesand#44; including a tach.


The engine is a 350 cubic-inch Chevy V8and#44; which is the perfect choice for hitting the road at any time. This crate motor comes with enhanced performance from elements like the Weiand intake and Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. Combined with the dual exhaustand#44; you get a great hot rod sound thats still totally streetable. And thats exactly how to view this custom build. It has plenty invested under the hoodand#44; including new components like the A/C compressorand#44; alternatorand#44; crank pulleyand#44; power steering boxand#44; and harmonic balancer pulley. Plusand#44; the suspension has been upgraded to a Mustang II-style independent unitand#44; and theres also the upgrade to four-wheel disc brakes. If this is beginning to sound like the custom that you can comfortably drive long distancesand#44; youd be correct. It even has a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive.


A great custom look on the outsideand#44; all the right conveniences on the insideand#44; and a strong crate motor under the hood – this Chevy is truly the total package. So hurry up before someone else grabs the custom classic you can use every day. Call now!!!
