BODY OVERVIEW:
This is a full-sized, all-steel pre-war Chevy sedan turned into a family-friendly street rod! The body is solid, featuring the unmistakable rounded styling of the late 1930s, enhanced by unique suicide rear doors that immediately stand out. Thick, butcher-block-style wooden running boards add a rustic custom touch that’s impossible to miss—and perfect for a retro street rod build. Last but not least, the rear-opening shaved trunk complete with an electric popper is the cherry on top!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Finished in a rich metallic hue, the paint shines from a distance and draws attention at every cruise-in. Up close, it’s a “five-footer” with visible scratches, touchups, and wear consistent with an older paint job. It still has plenty of pop, but those expecting perfection will not find it here. As it sits, it’s got the right look for a driver-quality rod that you won’t be afraid to take out and enjoy with the whole family!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The custom two-tone vinyl interior adds a splash of old school style inside this vintage ride. A woodgrain steering wheel ties into the street rod look, while AutoMeter gauges and a double-DIN stereo add both style and modern function. Everything feels purposeful and well-executed, from the seat stitching to the layout of the dash. Seatbelts, something many of us take for granted these days, have been added for safety.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, it’s all about big block attitude. The 454ci V8 provides plenty of power, backed by a TH2004R automatic with overdrive. A Heidts subframe underneath gives this old cruiser modern road manners, including power disc brakes and rack & pinion steering–and as a result, this thing handles great, even in tight spaces! The aluminum radiator keeps things cool, while the dual exhaust gives it a throaty note that matches its street presence. Other upgrades include HEI electronic ignition, a chrome alternator, and hood insulation.

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This street rod is perfect for the enthusiast who wants big block power in a unique pre-war package—without the pressure of perfection. It’s for the driver, not the polisher. If you want something that stands out, offers room for passengers, and packs serious muscle under the hood, this ’39 Master Deluxe might just be your next set of wheels.
