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.

1934 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Hot Rod

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.
