Huh, wha?... oh sorry I had to take a little beauty nap, lol!

Well you guys nailed it. Good to see that you guys dig the old stuff as well as the g machines. Well, the owner told us it was a '48 Chevy Fleetline. He said all the trim on the car was original. For now, we'll go with what he said but based on what you guys said it sure makes me curious.

A local guy on our facebook page also called it a '47 and I think he may know the car's history, he's really connected around here, so that makes me even more curious. I really like the old stuff, but having been born in '70, muscle cars are my gig so I'm not up to speed on the fine details of the fat fendered and earlier cars.

Here's a couple more shots. The owner picked it up Friday afternoon, with a big grin because the car turns and rides the way it's supposed to after the suspension reconfiguration. Not much of a pro touring car but it's the roots that got us all where we are today. It sports a beautiful small block Chevy with G body front suspension and a Nova 12 bolt rear axle. The color is a beautiful shade of Burnt Orange metallic with an off white roof with the same metallic in it. Really nice ride. Now, back to the Camaros and Chevelles in the shop...
