SOUGHT AFTER INLINE SIX 3 SPEED MANUAL STEEL BODY RUMBLE SEAT GREAT COLORS
1931 Chevrolet Other Description
Rumble seat classics are always in style. Not only does this 1931 Chevrolet Coupe have one, but also there have been solid investments all around this car to deliver a great-looking total package with a strong six-cylinder under the hood.
GM and Chevrolet entered the 1930s as the sales king over Ford. This quick rise to power was because these cars delivered what the customers wanted. So while this burgundy and black two-tone isn't exactly what General Motors applied nine decades ago, it showcases that same spirit of attractive variety you got when buying a Chevy all those years ago. Of course, not everyone at the car show gets to hear this story, but the glossy presentation tells this tale all on its own. And this idea of style is really in the details. There's a premium flair in the way the cream-colored wire wheels (including the rear-mounted full size spare) coordinate with the full-length pinstripe. There's also a thin black pinstripe below it to go with the color on the fenders and roof. Even the windows are nicely detailed with burgundy outlines. So people will be impressed just by the full color package. Of course, you'll love it too. But as the owner, you will just appreciate the paint as part of the larger full quality presentation that has a quality steel body with well-done panels and doors that close with confidence.
The first thing you notice when you open the door is the well-done bench seat. It was recovered in 2019 to give you a fresh and comfy velour. There are nice classic display pieces, too, like the heater and intricate gauge panel. Ventilation is also much better than you'll find on many classics. Not only do you have roll-down side windows, but also an added roof vent and roll-down rear window let air flow through the interior. Plus, that open rear window is a terrific pairing with the rumble seat. It was reupholstered at the same time as the front, and so it makes for a quality presentation of this hallmark item.
Chevrolets were not only stylish, but they also offered you six-cylinder power when the Model A only had four. And while that made the Chevy's desirable in the 1920 and 1930s, what makes this one so great today are the right upgrades. For example, the motor's internals were cleaned and then switched to synthetic oil. There was also a new gas tank, separate oil cooler, and upgraded water pump added within the last few years. This still even runs on a 6-volt system. The three-speed manual transmission was given a newer clutch to help keep this a smooth shifter. So it all makes for a car that has a classic but confident feeling going down the road.
This is the stylish rumble seat Chevy that's ready for Sunday drivers. Call today!!!
