1940 Chevrolet Coupe

What is this vehicle known for…
The ‘40 Chevrolets were a brand new design, implementing the then popular “fat fendered” look to the Chevrolet range. These cars continued Chevrolet’s push to overtake Ford in the marketplace, and were considered extremely stylish for the era. Powered by the venerable Stovebolt six, the adaptability of this platform was integral to Chevrolet’s transition back to civilian production after WWII.

How is it historically significant….
This Chevrolet is significant as a representative of the missing link between full-fendered classic design Cars of the 20s/30s and the modern, postwar look of the 1950s and onward.
