Overview of 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe For Sale by Owner

The Chevrolet Master is an iconic example of pre-war design that looks just as striking today as it did in the ‘30s and ‘40s. The Master and Master Deluxe were the flagship models offered by Chevrolet and featured chrome trim and a well-appointed interiors. The Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe was aimed at professionals. It features a stylish two-door bodyshell and a large trunk to accommodate the needs of someone such as a traveling salesman. Our featured car appears to be an immaculate survivor. It encapsulates the period in which it was introduced and provides a new generation of car enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the charm of the era.

Exterior and Interior

The 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe we’re offering for sale comes in a classic and classy shade of burgundy. For those curious, it’s an original Chevrolet color, bearing the code 279. The dark red body is complemented by a set of period white wall tires that are worn on a set of body-matched steel wheels. At their center, the wheels feature chrome hubcaps with the Chevrolet script on them. While the exterior is a time capsule, step inside, and you’ll be treated to even more period goodness. The driver is presented with a bench seat, which is upholstered in grey and features lap belts. This was a car strictly made to target busy working individuals, and as such you won’t find a family-friendly rear-seat. In fact, there’s no rear seat at all, with the 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe sporting a shelf instead. Steering is via a metal-rimmed three-spoke wheel, while gear changes are made with a column-mounted shifter. The wooden dashboard houses a speedometer that reads up to 100 mph, while other parameters such as battery health, temperature, gas remaining, and oil pressure are all displayed. The center of the dash houses a period-style radio and speaker grille. Facing the passenger, mounted on the lockable glove box lid, is a 12-hour clock.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Business Coupe is a 216ci straight-six engine. The owner reports that the engine currently features a steel carburetor. However, the car’s aluminum carburetor and rebuild kit will be included in the sale. Speaking of things thrown in with this car, the next lucky owner will also take delivery of an extra transmission that has reportedly rebuilt.

1934 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Hot Rod

Current Ask
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.

1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

Current Ask
$33,000

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.
