First popularized in the early 1940s, fastback coupes became all the rage when automobile production resumed after WWII. As a sub-series of the Fleetmaster full-size line, the Fleetline re-debuted in 1946 as both a very sleek two-door fastback Aero Sedan and a four-door sedan Sportmaster. By 1948, the car had undergone very few changes, most notably a center support pillar in the grille. The year 1948 proved to be the single highest production year of Fleetline cars, with some 276,078 produced. Of which, 211,861 were Aero Sedans. This was 27% of total Chevrolet production in 1948! Unique to the Aero Sedan was the optional dealer-installed "Country Club" wood trim. Manufactured by Engineered Enterprises of Detroit, this was a rare option, most likely the result of its $149.95 sticker price!
Now available is a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline Aero Sedan that is beautifully finished in its correct Oxford Maroon Metallic hood, fenders and roof, along with correct ash and mahogany wood panels, that is sure to catch eyes wherever it goes! Equipped with its original 216.5ci ""Stovebolt"" Inline-6, the car survives today in magnificent mechanical condition and shows only 43,888 miles (all indications back this up as original but we do not have enough evidence to verify.)
