Chevrolet had a car for everyone in 1950, but none were as glamorous, as the Styleline Deluxe five-passenger convertible. The dazzling example offered here, is a textbook case for the word “preservation.” With just 32,681 original miles, this stunning car has received little more than one repaint in its factory “Mist Green,” but all other components are original to the car. This convertible was sold new in Rhode Island and is a two-owner car that has been remarkably cared for and still retains its factory keys, floor mats, upholstery and convertible top parade boot. The upholstery is a two-tone stripe Cordovan with vinyl inserts, which has held up remarkably well for a 67-year-old car. The dashboard is clean, with no buttons or knobs missing and the steering wheel carries the futuristic design that the 1950s were known for. Wraparound bumpers were the order of the day for Chevrolet and all chrome on this time capsule presents as new. This convertible rides on wide white wall tires and is nicely accented by Chevrolet’s fender skirts for a smooth and streamlined look. This fully optioned car, includes a radio and heater. The engine compartment carries a patina that clearly displays that this car is an unmolested survivor and all systems are fully functional with no issues. Driving is easy with a three-speed column mounted shifter and power from Chevrolet’s tried and proven 216.5 cubic-inch inline six-cylinder engine rated at 90 horsepower, that easily cruises at modern highway speeds. The engine is extremely smooth and runs extremely well. If you have any questions contact Alex:(203) 218-1903
