Highlights: – 5.7-litre (350 cubic inch) V8 engine, petrol, automatic transmission – Imported from California in 2014 – Matt black finish with pinstriping and Harley-Davidson details – Power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes and air conditioning – Engine and gearbox overhauled, according to the seller The private seller offers for sale this 1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster Sedan Delivery, powered by a 5.7-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. The Stylemaster was Chevrolet’s entry-level line in the years after the Second World War, and the Sedan Delivery, with its closed rear body and rear door, was a practical working vehicle that has since become a favourite starting point for custom builders. This one has been built as a hot rod style custom, finished in matt black with pinstriping, a Bob’s Biker Bits lettered rear side panel and Harley-Davidson details such as the fuel filler cap and front licence plate. The seller states that the car was imported from California in 2014 and that the engine and gearbox were overhauled and the technical components renewed. The engine bay shows a chrome-topped V8 with Edelbrock cylinder heads and an air conditioning compressor. Equipment listed by the seller includes power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes and air conditioning. The cabin has a custom steering wheel and a dashboard with a row of auxiliary gauges. The cargo area has a rear bench and a red floor covering. The seller reports that the engine has covered about 20000 miles since the restoration. The seller points out that the car does not start at present because the carburettor needs to be readjusted, and that the parking brake has been removed and needs to be replaced. The car is sold without an individual vehicle approval (Einzelabnahme). It is therefore offered as a project for a new owner who wants to complete the final preparations.
