During the Great Depression, as well as World War II, automakers were facing severe issues and shortages. This led to many going on hiatus in the critical years. That’s why you’ll find that Plymouth’s De Luxe range, initially introduced in 1933 would see production ceased from 1942 to 1946. Of course, they updated the design, as well as certain mechanical aspects when production resumed. This 1948 Plymouth De Luxe Station Wagon Woody is from that second window of production, and reflects a time when the war was over, and people were full of hope for a better future. With just 91 miles since a full restoration, it’s a great classic to add to your collection, and drive on weekends for all to enjoy.
Wood trim was very much in fashion during the Thirties, Forties, and into the Fifties as well. This 1948 Plymouth De Luxe Station Wagon Woody shows a typical use of wood trim on a station wagon body style, and complements it with a dark green paintwork on the metal areas. Check out those complementing white wall tires, and the seller reports that all chrome parts have received rechroming during the restoration. The wood is reportedly real wood, and the wood walls are new too. For those who like manufacturer codes, the style code is #48-162, body code is #CL6995, the paint is #383, and the trim code is #149-1. The seller also reports that the top is leather, and original style parts were used as well. Venture aboard, and there’s more wood trim in abundance, lending this car the feel of travelling in a vintage railway carriage, especially to the rear cabin, when you enter via the rear-hinged coach doors. A plaque inside informs that coachwork is by Fisher, which was not uncommon in those days, where bodies were built by independent coachbuilders. Leather bench seats offer plush accommodations for up to five occupants. The driver grips a thin-rimmed steering wheel and faces a speedometer plus auxiliary gauges, while the front passenger sees the clock right ahead on the dash. The dash itself plays host to a push button radio and speaker in the center console, sparking memories of vintage Wurlitzer jukeboxes with chrome trim and detailing.
This 1948 Plymouth De Luxe Station Wagon Woody is propelled by a stout 217.8ci straight six engine that’s also got only 91 miles since restoration. The engine sends 95hp to the rear wheels via a column-shifted manual transmission.
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!
Produced for just three years, the Fleetmaster was Chevy’s immediate new model following World War II. It was offered for the 1946, 1947 and 1948 model years, before the Chevrolet Deluxe took over. Buyers could select from two and four-door sedans, a two-door coupe or convertible, and a four-door station wagon. Today, the Fleetmaster is an excellent '40s classic car for the discerning collector who doesn’t want to go down the typical route of classic car ownership. Therefore, we’re glad to present this wonderfully restored 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster with 49,585 miles on the clock. The car does pack a few modernizations to make it more pleasant to own and drive. All servicing is said to be up-to-date, and two keys are included with the sale.
An American classic with the right weather and a free schedule is a memory to cherish. Are you looking to experience a drive feel that cannot be replicated?

Finished in black with a two-tone interior, the truck carries the desirable Cheyenne trim and the robust 3/4-ton C20 platform.

This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.

Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
