1950 Chevrolet Styline Delux


Recommended Posts

1950 Chevrolet two door sedan. Power Glide 58891 miles. Southern car with known history. Original sales receipt. This car is in original unrestored condition. The original sealed beams were on the car and functional when I acquired it. They are now safely stored away. The car has been mechanically sorted out. The engine oil pan has been dropped and all sludge cleaned. The oil pump was replaced at this time as a preventative measure. There were no oil pressure issues. The valve cover and side cover gaskets were also replaced. The rear main seal was also replaced. The valve seals were replaced. The heat riser has been repaired and is functional with a new spring. The cooling system was back flushed. The water pump appears to be original. It does not leak and is quiet. The thermostat was replaced. The radiator has been recored retaining the original date coded tank. The generator, starter and distributor have been serviced with new brushes and bearings where needed. The vacuum advance is new (NOS). The fuel pump has been replaced and the carb cleaned and adjusted.

All engine and transmission mounts have been replaced. The transmission was removed and resealed. The front pump seal and bushing were replaced as was the vacuum modulator. The car runs and drives very nice and tight. The brakes have been redone with new master cylinder and wheel cylinders. The front wheel bearings have been replaced. The tires are in good condition.

The interior shows wear on the driver's door panel. The seats have been covered since new with dealer installed covers. The dash is nice with wear that matches the rest of the car. The trunk compartment is in nice shape. The cardboard that covers the back seat has disappeared at some time in the car's history. The bumper jack is complete with the proper mounting hardware.

The paint is in poor condition. It is checking and coming off at several areas on the car. The body is very nice. The only rust perforation that I can find is a 3/4 inch crack over the right rear wheel. The floors including the trunk, spare tire well, inner and outer rockers fenders and doors have no rust. The bottom has surface rust only. There are areas of the frame that still have the original black paint. There are small "door dings" but no major dents. There is a small dent behind the rear license plate and a small dent on the left rear fender, just above the rear bumper. There is an interesting story relating the incident that caused these dents. Over all the body is in very nice condition. The chrome shines nice. There is some pitting on the top of the grille guard. The grille has minor scratches.

All of the lights function. The wiring harness is in good condition.

$6800 Price includes a NOS trunk handle,water pump rebuild kit, NOS horn ring (the one on the car is broken with a temporary repair) and NORS rear carpet

The car is located in Mt. Prospect IL, a suburb of Chicago. Please call or email for additional information. Rick (847) 398 8549 rln31455@yahoo.com

Two more pictures. The front bumper is pulled away from the body at the right front fender. It appears to have been damaged after contacting an object while backing up. The stainless trim on the right fender was probably damaged in the same incident. Note the vintage travel decals on the rear quarter glasses. There is also a vintage Alabama University decal on the back glass.
