For just three short years, Chevy made a vehicle named the Fleetmaster. Yes, that’s quite a bold name, isn’t it? On sale in 1946, just after World War II had ended, the Fleetmaster was offered as a coupe, sedan, sedan delivery and, exclusively for Australia, a coupe utility or ute. Curiously, the Stylemaster wasn’t a top-tier Chevy; instead it was a more mainstream offering. Production ended in 1948 with the Chevrolet Special taking over. So, if you want a relatively rare Chevy that slips under most classic car collectors’ radar, this 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster 2-Door Sport Coupe is a great way to go about it. The car currently resides in California, patiently waiting for a new owner to love and cherish it - after all, it’s near-on eighty years old!
Exterior and Interior
This 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster 2-Door Sport Coupe wears a lovely coat of maroon paint with a hint of orange in it, depending on how the light strikes it. It’s a quintessentially Forties car, right down to its bulbous shape, prominent fenders and snout-shaped nose. The car comes with ample chrome trimmings too, the most notable of which is its front grille. The wheels also enjoy chrome hubcaps. The interior of this 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster 2-Door Sport Coupe comes in pleasing shades of tan and brown, with front and rear bench seats showcasing a simpler time when six or more people will have traveled in this vehicle, merrily chatting away. Of course, safety wasn’t really a major concern back them. Neither was in-car entertainment, which was still in its infancy. Thankfully, this vehicle has got a JVC Bluetooth-capable head unit in the glovebox, with a USB port and AUX input too. There’s also an aftermarket speaker system for higher sound fidelity.
Engine
This 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster 2-Door Sport Coupe uses a 216.5ci in-line six-cylinder engine, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission to drive the rear wheels. It’s a sturdy and simple powertrain that may not set the road alight, but will get you where you’re going with grace and panache. Four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes are present, as is front independent suspension with coil springs. At the rear, you’ve got leaf springs and a solid axle.
