Bittn By The Fleetline Bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks John! I think your's is killer - you won't bump into many in that nice warm colour! As for stance, I am on 15s, the front of yours looks similar ..maybe it's the sand bags in the trunk!
p.s. I always take pics when the gas tank is full. Sounds funny but you'd be surprised at the difference in bumper height on a full tank.

My 49

 

LOTS of Fleetlines HERE: http://www.ruffrodders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41886

This is one of them.

 

I love this car. Thought I wanted to chop mine, but now I'm not so sure. Any more info on this car? What wheels/tires, front fender trim? Any more pictures?

 

Here is my 49 project has a 4 inch chop. I am currently working on a G-body frame right now to put it on.

 

They are sweet old rides, I have a 48, just under the line of what you were looking for...

 

stock fender trim.
wheels look like stock steel with trim rings and center caps and probably around a 205/70/15 radial

you're right. NICE car.
the more i look at it, the more i think i'm going to do something similar. 'cept maybe get rid of the license plate peckers and trunk release.

 

You guys are making this Mopar guy drool!! Nice cars!!

Did the other GM lines use this body style too?

 

If you look on the first page you'll see my 51 pontiac fastback. oldsmobile also had one.

 

here is a pic of my 49 Chevy Fleetline! Chopped, suicide, upgraded, 55 caddy front bumper, 53 caddy front bumper used for the rear!

enjoy

 

Damn, totally missed the silver streak, that is the one I liked best!

Is that Hank Williams in your avatar?

 

Yes sir, one of my heroes!

Here is mine. It has a 3.5in chop in the pic. Since then it now has been sectioned 4in and has 56 caddy front and rear bumpers and 61 chrysler boomerang tail lights. Its getting an serious horsepower o/t drivetrain. I'll just keep the hood shut when it's on here
