1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe 2 Door sedan. This car runs & drives great. The engine fires right up, the clutch and transmission shift smooth. Mechanically, the doors and hood shut unbelievably great, almost like a new car. This car would make a great Rat Rod/ Hot Rod or restoration project. All the glass is in good shape and all cranks & regulators work as they should. At some point in this old girls life she was given an old school hot rod treatment. 235 Cubic Inch 6 cylinder out of 1958 Chevy with a true split racing manifold, dual exhaust and three speed. The interior had been updated and is in very good condition all the way down to the wood interior trim. Neat old piece that is dang solid, an easy rat rod or resto project. Runs and drives great. I recently recieved the car in a trade, and really dont have any space for her. The 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe looked softer and rounder, though little changed in overall contour. The softer and rounder look was credited to a smooth new "Fashion-Front" grille and integrated "Reflector-Guard" taillights. Parking lights moved to the outer edges of the grille molding to yield a wider, more substantial appearance. Deluxe models wore neat fender skirts, accentuating the clean body lines. They also displayed such extras as stainless steel moldings on front fenders and doors, and a 39-hour wind-up clock inside. Of course, any Chevrolet could be dressed up with an outside sun shade, bumper wing tips, or a grille guard -- and many were. Within the new curved "Safety-Sight" instrument panel, gauges were grouped in two circular clusters with non-glare lighting. Control knobs sat below in a recessed panel. Also on the safety side, "Jumbo-Drum" brakes demanded as much as 25-percent less pedal pressure and were promoted as the largest in the low-priced field. The engine which was rebuilt and I was told has 70k miles on this car runs beautifully and the three speed on the tree shifts great, and the brakes stop decently, though a front disc brake upgrade should be considered, and the steering is kinda loose, as the older manual steering cars are. The car has updated rims and tires which have good tread. I personally drove this car home two hours in strong winds, and light rain without working windshield wipers, so I know its possible, but I would suggest trailering her on a long distance. The car has been converted to 12v and in my personal opinion it should be rewired due to much of the wiring being original. She also runs on unleaded gas. Overall, this car is a great cruizer with lots of potential, and with a bit of time could be an awesome driver/showcar. Comes with side skirts. Also note there are some patch panels on the floor, but overall very soild car. Here are a some of previous owners pictures of the 51 Chevy in Rat Rod Black.( check out Fatmansgarage.com) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YbHRPSMRms&feature=player_embedded#t=0s Here are some pictures showing just how solid the underside is. Here are some pictures of her going back together. the process of sanding all the surface rust off to get her ready for paint. disassembling her to get ready for paint; I wanted to share some pictures to show how solid she is.
