1951 Chevrolet Styleline Description

You stopped on this 1951 Chevrolet Styleline for the exact same reason why we fell in love with it, too. There was a lot invested to give this the perfect mixture of period-correct restoration and all the right upgrades. So while the cherry red paint grabbed you attention, the hot V8 and cold A/C interior are why you want to take it home.This two-door sedan makes a great first impression, and that all starts with the paint. The red is actually borrowed from a more modern Corvette shade. And when combined with the white, the two-tone strikes that perfect balance of providing a bold hue with a hint of sophistication. All of this is particularly true because there has been a lot of investment in a modern professional application of this color. And while this car has a better luster than what Chevy could provide in '51, this is the kind of bright presentation these classics have always had when you pictured them in your mind. Rivaling the paint for shine is the brightwork. It surrounds every piece of glass, artfully accents the whole profile, outlines the lower rear fender, and surrounds every exterior light. Plus, we know you've especially noticed it on the extended rear bumper with Continental kit. When all of this is so complete and mirror-like, you realize that you're looking at a labor of love. And you'll even love going over the details from the correct wide Chevy badge up front, to the sun visor. And that upgrade to iconic Cragar SS wheels is a nice little hint at the other sporty upgrades within.Soft leather bucket seats and a center console were never available from Chevy, and so anyone who opens the door will be instantly impressed with this pricey and comfortable upgrade. The tan leather here coordinates nicely with the carpeting, headliner, and custom door panels to create a nice uniform presentation. As you slip behind the custom steering wheel, the Corvette red on the dash goes nicely with this car's upgraded theme. The same goes for the upgraded Dolphin full gauge package. And because this is meant to be a comfortable cruiser that you can share with family and friends, you also get great features like a modern AM/FM/CD stereo and R134a air conditioning to stay cool while looking cool.Open the hood and you can see where some serious money was spent. That's a 350 cubic-inch crate V8, fully dressed with the bright Edelbrock air toper, valve covers, alternator, and pulleys. Plus, this performance upgrade has been enhanced further with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock performance intake. There's plenty of reliable power churning out of this motor to make the dual exhaust howl if you really want, but there is also another side to this custom car. The mufflers can keep this car somewhat mellow, and instead just enjoy the evening cruising in your air-conditioned coupe while the TH350 three-speed automatic ticks away the gears with ease. There's also an aluminum radiator to keep your Chevy cool even in traffic. This is a power steering car, and up front there's an independent suspension with a sway bar and disc brakes. So this one could be a Friday night brawler if you like, but it's quite comfortable just being you all-day Sunday cruiser, too.This one comes with a full photos file and maintenance records, so you can take others on its transformation into such a cool custom cruiser.
