Overview of 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe For Sale by Owner

The 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe was once the most expensive model in the Chevrolet range. These classic American automobiles served as luxury passenger vehicles almost 90 years ago, so they might as well be called antique vehicles now. There's a lot of history to these vehicles too. This was also the last Chevy to be exported to Japan in knockdown kits and assembled at the factory before it was appropriated by the Imperial Japanese Government. The Chevy Master was also used by Toyota to develop their own sedan, the Toyota AA. However, with most Masters being converted into beastly hotrods, this particular model is a rarity as it houses the original engine and transmission with only a mere 43,200 miles counted on the odometer. That’s just a tad more than 500 miles of running per year on this 1938 wind-swept-designed Chevrolet. Purchased from the original owner’s family, this Master Deluxe has been kept up to date with maintenance. The engine has had some work done, and the interior has been reworked to keep this 1938 machine running as it came out of the factory a few years ago. For sale in McHenry, Illinois, this is your opportunity to take yourself back 86 years and experience the lavish transportation of the historic days.

Exterior and Interior

The rounded sheet metal of this 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe has been draped in a Gray coat of paint, highlighting all the shiny chrome and curves. You wouldn’t find any LED headlights or electric windows, but what you would see more in this 86-year-old machine than in a modern-day vehicle is a lot of chrome. From the front and rear bumpers to the door handles and window winders, this particular Chevy has been re-chromed. This Master Deluxe also has a new gleaming front grille with red accents, and the black and chrome wheels are wrapped in Hankook Optimo tires. Inside this Master Deluxe, you get new gray upholstery and seats.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe is the original 216.5 ci 6-cylinder engine mated to the original 3-speed manual transmission on the floor. A new gas tank has been installed, and the radiator has been rebuilt for this meticulously 86-year-old crafted machine.

VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

This 1935 Chevrolet Tudor Sedan has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern street rod while preserving the timeless character of Chevrolet’s pre-war design. Originally produced during a period when streamlined styling and improved engineering were redefining American automobiles, the 1935 Chevrolet featured graceful fender lines, a tall chrome grille, and elegant proportions. This example retains its all-original steel body but benefits from extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, creating a classic cruiser that combines vintage style with contemporary performance. Finished in a gray and silver exterior with red pinstriping, this Tudor sedan blends traditional hot rod aesthetics with modern reliability and comfort.

1934 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Hot Rod

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

Now here’s a hot rod that’s true to the term to a tee. This 1934 Chevrolet Coupe Hot Rod may have started life off as a Chevrolet Standard when it was new, but it’s now been customized to such an extent, that scant little of its previous life exists. Chevys and Fords from the 1920s and 1930s are extremely popular as hot rod platforms because of their appearance, construction and ease of turning into something truly artistic. This particular car is now up for grabs in Port St. Lucie, Florida and packs a massive 502ci Chevy Big Block under the hood…well, what of the hood is left, because the engine is now partially exposed for all and sundry to see. The car rocks an autobox, rear-wheel drive and has just 20,000 miles on it.

VERIFIED SELLER
$124,999

Few Corvettes command attention quite like a mid-year C2 Sting Ray, and this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible presents an especially intriguing blend of factory styling and high-performance upgrades. Showing approximately 39,045 miles, this iconic American sports car is finished in timeless Tuxedo Black over a Saddle vinyl interior, creating one of the most desirable color combinations available during the era. While originally produced during the golden age of big-block Corvettes, the current owner reports that the car now houses a legendary L88-spec 427ci V8 engine, elevating its performance pedigree even further. Additional highlights include a body-colored removable hardtop, factory teak wood steering wheel, Mako-inspired six-tail-light conversion, and included accessories such as a car cover, roof stand, original hardtop, and original convertible top.

1992 Chevrolet Corvette

VERIFIED SELLER
$29,999

By 1992, Chevrolet had transformed the C4 Corvette into a thoroughly modern American sports car, and the introduction of the LT1 V8 marked one of the most significant upgrades in the model’s history. This Bright Red example is particularly special because it has traveled just 8,456 miles from new, placing it among the lowest-mileage C4 Corvettes on the market today. Finished in a striking red-on-red color combination and equipped with the desirable LT1 powertrain, removable roof panel, and iconic sawblade wheels, this Corvette presents an opportunity to own a remarkably preserved example of Chevrolet’s flagship performance car from the early 1990s.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Restomod LS3

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
$144,999

While many first-generation Camaros rely on simple engine swaps and cosmetic upgrades, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Restomod was built with a far more comprehensive vision. Beyond its GM Performance LS3 powerplant and Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, this Camaro benefits from an extensive Chris Alston Chassisworks transformation that modernizes nearly every aspect of the driving experience. Finished in Imperial Blue Metallic with gray stripes and complemented by a custom blue and gray interior, it combines the unmistakable style of Chevrolet’s most desirable Camaro generation with the handling, braking, comfort, and reliability expected from a contemporary performance car. With its true mileage unknown, this Camaro stands apart as a professionally engineered restomod rather than simply a restored classic, offering a level of refinement rarely found among vintage muscle car convertibles.
