Seller's Notes

A charming pre-war classic saloon, this Chevrolet Master Deluxe is presented with notable mechanical upgrades. It is powered by a higher-compression 1947-spec naturally aspirated 3.5-litre ‘Stovebolt Six’ inline-six, driving the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission. First registered in March 1938, this example has only recently been acquired by the seller. The odometer indicates 64,698 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1937 This Master Deluxe is finished in a timeless shade of black, over a beige vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a gold-painted dashboard and window surrounds, bronze-painted dashboard accents, and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, fitted with Olympic Air Ride whitewall tyres. Equipment includes desirable period-correct Notek driving lights, a three-spoke ‘banjo-style’ steering wheel, push-out front and rear quarter light windows, reverse-hinged rear doors, and elasticated door card pockets. It runs a 1947 high-compression 90-horsepower engine, featuring a 1947 clutch pressure plate, thrust bearing, distributor, and points. Other notable components include a high-speed 1141 ratio differential (the original was a 938 unit). The car comes with one set of keys, a workshop manual/handbook, a 1938 RACV bronze badge (not currently attached), and notes from a previous owner, as well as spare diff, and nudge bar and driving lights. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the paintwork appears to have been resprayed in the original factory black finish at some stage. There are now several minor blemishes on some panels and on the running boards, and slight blistering on one side of the roof. The interior trim is noted to be in poor condition and appears to remain in its original, unrestored state. This Master Deluxe’s most recent maintenance was carried out in June 2025 at an indicated 64,690 miles, which included an engine oil change, a full electrical check, and general servicing to ensure the car runs smoothly both mechanically and electrically. The steering and gearbox were refurbished in 2015, and the car has re-sleeved stainless steel wheel and brake cylinders, as well as a fully restored ‘bajo’ steering system. The steering wheel and gear knob were restored by Pearlcraft Steering Wheels in Rowville, Victoria. Other notable maintenance includes the exhaust being replaced in 2009, the manifold being replaced in 2015, a reconditioned Carter carburettor being fitted, the radiator being restored, and a reconditioned starter motor and water pump being fitted. This Chevrolet Master Deluxe is a distinctive pre-war saloon, enhanced with a later model engine and thoughtful mechanical refurbishments. Combining its vintage charm, dependable mechanicals, and stately presence on the road, it would make a unique and rewarding addition to a classic car collection or an attention-grabbing weekend cruiser for historic motoring events.
