Vehicle Detail

1946 Chevy- A true 50,000 mile barn find. This car is a running and driving, all original time capsule. It is rust free and runs and drives very well. It is a fully functional car, and I've driven it like it is for years. I found it from an estate in NJ and have not even changed the tires. There were seat covers on the seats (back seat still covered) and the interior is from the factory. The arm rests and door panels are worn since they were not covered, but otherwise it's the factory material and in near perfect shape. I did take off the front seat covers a few years ago (new material from the factory underneath), and so they are not as pristine as the rear (but no tears or wear). The inline six and fluid column shifter work beautifully, and aside from a little loose steering and old bias ply tires, it goes down the road smoothly and with a lot of power. There is wear and cracking on the floor rubber, and patina and some surface rust in spots on the exterior. But there is no rust through anywhere and when on a lift, the underside inspection is surprisingly dry and rust free. This is a beautiful example of a preserved original 1940's vehicle that runs and drives great. The 1946 Chevrolet Sedan was one of the most coveted vehicles in the post World War-II era and was regarded as a revelation of Chevrolet's experience in the field of automotive technologies and its tradition and heritage of producing cars which have power, style and stability. Already well established as one of the leading automobile manufacturer, Chevrolet's primary goal in the post World War-II era was in maintaining customer satisfaction and in making Chevrolet ownership, the most pleasant motor car experience. The 1946 Chevrolet (Stylemaster 6 Series DJ/ Fleetmaster 6 Series DK) Sedan was designed and developed to provide thousands of miles of driving satisfaction and comfort. Boasting of an all-steel construction, well insulated against heat and sound, it provided several innovative safety features such as: Adjustable front seat; Safety Glass; Controlled Ventilation; Recessed control Knobs; Hydraulic Brakes: Hand Brake Lever; Some of the technical specifications of the 1946 Chevrolet Sedan are: Six Cylinder Engine delivering 90 BHP at 3300 RPM Piston Displacement - 216.5 Cu.In. Bore and Stroke: 3-1/2 x 3-3/4 Normal Oil Pressure - 14 lbs Wheelbase - 116" Fuel Tank - 16 gallons The 1946 Chevrolet Sedan renewed the passion and faith of car lovers and Chevy enthusiasts after the War's devastation's and led the way for Chevrolet's sustained financial success in the public domain $1,000 non-refundable deposit due at auction close with balance due within 7 days by cash or bank transfer.
