Leif in Calif Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 An interesting car...doesn't seem like they have the following of Chrysler's T&Cs https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/salinas-1948-chevy-fleetline-country/7740911595.html 948 Chevy Fleetline. Original dealer option Country Club. Woody. (Not an aftermarket kit). I acquired it from the second owner who purchased it in 1968. Mostly original.

rocketraider Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Wood on these wasn't structural, right? Just applique like, say, a Country Squire? Seldom seen. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeach Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This was an after market kit (may have been dealier installed?) that was added to the side of the car. Very nice looking but it held dirt and moisture between the wood and metal of the car which would rust the metal and rot the wood in a very few years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7th Son Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I doubt the blue/gray interior was a n option in '48. I also think this Chevy would look better without two-tone exterior and painted in a darker color that would complement the wood trim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bad color to use with the wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
