1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe

1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe 4 Door Sedan

For consignment, a 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe 4 door sedan showing 18,020 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This steel bodied beauty has been family owned since 1970 and witnessed two restorations, one to original condition in 1986, then moved to Street Rod status in 1996.

Exterior
The tall Master Deluxe comes at you with a flat straked chrome grille that is perfectly integrated to the body lines, underscored by a slightly curved chrome bumper, and punctuated by chrome light rings around the bullet cased headlights. Lets not forget the piercing hood ornament which resembles Ultraman at speed, and fronts a long hood line thats adorned with side vents that are as attractive as they are functional. A humpback trunk adds more length to the car, here in two stage Ruby Red Metallic, and is flanked by protruding tail lights over another chrome bumper and impressive chrome exhaust tips. Chrome Nugget wheels stand this car up with 14-inchers in front and 15-inchers in back, wrapped in staggered size tires and visually connected by the black running board. The paint has multiple imperfections including a spill stain trailing from the gas cap and significant cracking throughout. Some of the metalwork, including the grille, would benefit from restoration.

Interior
Handsome gray door panels include tweed lowers, vinyl uppers, and a gray painted window frame and all four present cleanly. Tweed continues on the front bucket seats and the rear bench and sidewalls. A familiar Chevy steering wheel from the 80s presents to the driver in front of a body colored dash and billet style faceplate housing a series of clean black faced gauges. 1938 makes an appearance in the center with a deco style surround for the added white faced tachometer and we return to modern times with an AM/FM/CD radio next to levers for the fans. A tall shifter and handbrake rise from the open floor covered in gray carpet and surrounded by tweed walls in the footwells. The headliner and visor keep the theme and are in fine condition. It also covers the trunk walls over a deep pile gray carpet topped by a battery box.

Drivetrain
Under the hood we have a clean 350ci V8 with Edelbrock valve covers and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. Its backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the 10 bolt axle and the brakes are configured as front disc and rear drum. The car has headers and runs on a 12 volt system.

Undercarriage
Clean underneath as well, with some typical surface rust and a few drops of oil on the pan, transmission, and some dampness on the rear differential. The dual exhaust wears a pair of Cherrybomb mufflers before heading out back and exiting via chrome tips. A Mustang II front end is onboard and includes power steering while leaf springs occupy the back.

Drive-Ability
Who doesnt love a car from the 30s with a relatively modern engine? The roomy cockpit is a comfortable place to be and the back seat is even more comfortable. A turn of the key and the trusty 350 comes to life with a healthy bellow, setting this big four door into motion. Its got adequate power, straight tracking, and of course, steering is a breeze. We note the speedometer is not working nor the odometer, plus the wipers only move halfway up. Beyond that, all functions on board were found in working order. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

So kiss a little longer, stay close a little longer, hold tight a little longer, longer with Big Red. That Big Red freshness lasts right through it! . Okay, these may be lyrics from a gum commercial, but they could also apply to this really great 38! Whether its date night or a family outing for ice cream, this Master Deluxe is a fantastic cruiser for your consideration.
