DerbyHat Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hello, again!Here is one more car that I'd be grateful for the experts here to identify. (I don't have this car, just the photo.) I appreciate having this information for my family history.http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6084/6099869699_736191af02_b.jpg Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhb1999 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It's either a '49 or '50 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Sport Coupe.I agree with you. The business coupe? would not have the fender spear and the rocker moulding? Among perhaps other things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The business coupe was merely a stripped down model without a back seat. The deluxe sport coupe had stainless trim along the front fender, Deluxe script on the front fender and stainless gravel guards on the rear fenders.

rhb1999 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Jump seats?, OR was this only found on other GM models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't believe they had jump seats. There was usually only a platform for the business types to keep their boxes and cases. These cars also did not have opening windows for the back compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '81 Chevrolet Malibu 2-dr. coupe's rear windows don't open either. I wonder where they got that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear windows were fixed on all A/C equipped Malibus, even the four doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the station wagons, at lest the '81 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
