1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe
Introduced in 1940, the Chevrolet Special Deluxe represented one of the marque’s most stylish and advanced pre-war offerings. With its flowing body lines, distinctive chrome accents and comfortable interior, it struck a balance between affordability and refinement, making it hugely popular in its day. Today, it is remembered as one of the standout designs of the era, embodying the glamour of late-1930s and early-1940s American motoring.
This example is finished in blue and fitted with a 3.4L inline-six petrol engine and 3-speed manual transmission. Standout features include sought-after suicide doors, battery isolator, push-start functionality and the inclusion of two spare tyres. The car presents with only minor marks and scratches consistent with age, adding to its charm as a pre-war survivor.
The Chevrolet Special Deluxe became a favourite family car of its era and was widely seen in newsreels, films and even U.S. military service during World War II. Its suicide doors and elegant proportions have made it a favourite in the classic car and hot rod communities, with examples regularly featured at vintage shows and events. Cars like this were also commonly immortalised in post-war cinema, often used to evoke nostalgia for a bygone age of motoring elegance.
