FROM THE COLLECTION OF 'DOWNTOWN DESOTO' 1951 CHEVROLET SPORT COUPE 66760 ACTUAL MILES ! ! ! we soda blasted our little '51 and found it to be rust free ! THIS IS A NUMBERS MATCHING AUTOMOBILE LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TERM "SPORT COUPE"... MANY FOLKS USE THIS TERM RATHER LOOSELY AND DESCRIBE ANY TWO DOOR MODEL PRODUCED BY CHEVROLET AS A "SPORT COUPE". THE ACTUAL TERM HOWEVER REFERS ONLY TO MODEL # 2124. THIS IS A TOTALLY SEPARATE BODY STYLE FROM THE STANDARD 2 DOOR MODEL AND HAS A SHORT TOP, THE LONG REAR DECK, THE SLIDING SIDE WINDOWS AND A VERY LOW PRODUCTION NUMBER. AND OUR SPORT COUPE IS THE DELUXE SERIES WITH THE CHROME SIDE WINDOW REVEALS, THE CHROME GRAVEL SHIELDS AND THE DELUXE TRIM. IT WAS PURCHASED FOR OUR ANTIQUE AUTO MUSEUM "DOWNTOWN DESOTO" APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS AGO AND WE WERE IMPRESSED TO DISCOVER THAT THIS CAR'S TITLE IS STILL IN THE ORIGINAL FAMILY'S NAME. WE WERE ALSO IMPRESSED TO LEARN OF IT'S RUST FREE CONDITION AND ITS LOW, DOCUMENTED MILES. THE ORIGINAL FRONT FLOOR MAT LOOKS GOOD AFTER 60 YEARS OF USE AND THE CLOTH SEAT UPHOLSTERY IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT IS SO NICE THAT WE NOW HAVE IT PROTECTED UNDER A SET OF CLEAR PLASTIC SEAT COVERS BOTH FRONT AND REAR. THE DOOR PANELS, REAR CARPET, PACKAGE TRAY AND HEADLINER HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED BY OUR FRIENDS AT "A & A AUTO UPHOSTERY" IN WARSAW, MISSOURI. THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN MATCHING THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE FABRIC AND THE WORKMANSHIP IS LIKEWISE SUPERB. ALTHOUGH THE PAINT ON THE TOP OF THE DASH IS SLIGHTLY THIN IN PLACES, WE REFUSED TO HAVE IT REPAINTED..AFTER ALL, ORIGINAL ONLY LIVES ONCE !
