Chevrolet's Stylemaster, Fleetmaster, and Fleetline models represent the company's transition from pre-war to post-war production. Introduced for the 1942 model year and resuming production in 1946, these cars offered dependable transportation with styling that defined the era. The lineup ranged from the base Stylemaster to the top-tier Fleetmaster, with the stylish Fleetline fastback, or "Aerosedan," being the most distinctive of the bunch.
Collectors appreciate these Chevrolets for their classic looks and mechanical simplicity. The 216 cubic inch "Stovebolt" inline-6 is a durable and easy-to-maintain engine, making ownership accessible. The Fleetline Aerosedan is particularly sought after for its streamlined design, making it a popular choice for both factory-correct restorations and custom hot rod builds.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern. Thoroughly check the floors, trunk pan, rocker panels, and the lower edges of doors and fenders.
- The 'Stovebolt' 6-cylinder is robust, but look for excessive smoke on startup, which indicates worn valve seals, and listen for knocking from the bottom end.
- Many of these cars used a vacuum-assisted shifter. Check for proper operation, as they can be finicky and are often converted to a fully mechanical linkage.
- Exterior trim and chrome parts can be difficult and expensive to source. Ensure all the stainless and chrome pieces are present and in good condition.
