From 1939-1945, World War II war production was the primary focus of American manufacturing. The rationing, sacrifice, and hardships of these war years resulted in an explosion of demand for consumer products after the war. One of the first wants of most American families was a new automobile. In 1949, Chevrolet trumped the competition with the first new post war styling. Chevrolet overhauled the entire lineup in 1949, moving from prewar designs to brand new cars with modern full width bodies and pontoon fenders. The division offered Special and Deluxe models in both Fleetline and Styleline series. Buyers could buy a bare bones coupe for as little as $1,300, or could move all the way up to $2,200 for an eight passenger station wagon. Virtually every body type and price level was offered in between. Each year, from 1949 to 1952, Chevrolet improved on their design. The 1952 model was the pinnacle of the first post war generation Chevrolets. Advertising touted the 1952 Chevrolet Styleline and Fleetline models as "More beautiful than ever." Reacting to the Korean conflict, civilian automobile production was cut this year, causing all automakers to post considerably smaller totals. Even with only 818,142 cars built, Chevrolet again scored well ahead of Ford, with Plymouth and Buick trailing far behind. Fast forward to the 80's and 90's. By this time, the first nostalgia craze swept the nation. Car enthusiasts everywhere had a burning desire to modify and upgrade the unique post war automobiles that they remembered riding in when they were children. The 1949-1952 Chevrolet was the model of choice for various reasons. First, because they outsold all other manufacturers, there were more available. Second, the aerodynamic design was perfect for street machines, and especially at the drag strip. Most importantly, most gear heads were familiar with the venerable small block Chevy engine. They were easy to maintain, parts were readily available, and when modified they went fast! Please read the entire ad.
