Up for auction is a 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe Fleetline 2 door sedan. This car is rated one of the best examples of its kind. It was also featured and used as an example in the book by Ray Miller, which you will see in the photos.
These miles are true and correct documented at 30164. The car was purchased at a local Chevrolet dealer, Courtesy Chevrolet, in San Jose, CA. It has remained here in the bay area since it was purchased in 1951.
This car has never been repainted or restored in any way. I have all receipts of service and work done on the car. The motor had some oil leaks and about 15 years ago the motor was removed and was completely resealed.
This museum quality car runs and drives just like it did in 1951. You can see from the quality level of all the knobs, steering wheel, rubber and glass this car has always been stored indoors. You can see in the photo how nice the headliner is and the car has never been smoked in.
Being a DeLuxe, this was the top of the line car in its day. It still has some very unique original options that were put in the car when new. Factory Kleenex holder, spotlight and the very unusual and rare hood ornament that is factory, which Ray Miller covers extensively in his book.
A full complete inspection has just been done and the car is safe to drive anywhere. This car was featured on a Comcast TV show, Car Guy Channel, which shows the car driving on the road and shows in detail many areas of the car. The video will cover more than the pictures can show in this listing. This will give you an idea of the quality of this car.(Short 3 minute version: https://youtu.be/pUvecmRdNG0 or longer 14 minute version which you can start watching half way through the video at12:16 https://youtu.be/C89aRG-pZSY
An inspection can be done at any time on this car and I’m sure you’d be very pleased. This car is the best of best, which always makes for the best investment. A car is only original once.
