Sold my 30 coupe and bought a 48 fleetline aero sedan...

I've been umming & arring about selling my 30 coupe, I finally did it and bought a 48 Chevy Fleetline two days later. I'm in love again.

Nothing eases the pain of loss quicker than a new ride. Bought this one from Michigan she'll be on the water in a few weeks on her trip across the pond to Melbourne Australia.

Rat Bastad's to blame for inspiration, he's just bought himself a 47 Fleetmaster coupe that's almost to nice to sit in. Can't wait to cut some laps together in our fat fendered Chevys.

Cool car man, she needs some more lowering, maybe only in the back!

 

What can I say Gomez.....umm, I know !!

I think there's gonna be some taildraggin' soon !!

E` Special

Rat

 

Nice

 

Wow! That is a sweet ride

 

Fleetlines Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Great Lookin' Car-Congrats!

 

Thanks fellas for the positive comments.

Looking to soup up the straight six with a Fenton 2 x 1 intake and split exhaust headers, I wonder how much juice you can squeeze outta ine of these 235's? It's a later model '52 235 not the original 216. Never owned a six cylinder ride before, two cylinders less than what I'm used to.

I'm sure that I'll find out a bunch scopin' out the posts on the HAMB!

congrats, that's a really great looking car!

 

Now THAT is purdy!!!

 

Congrat's, great to see another cool ride on its way to Oz

 

I'm jealous!!! I've always dreamed of owning a 47-48 Fleetline aero sedan... Sexy ride<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

that is sweet. Now juice it and start lookin for rare accessories. That thing is beggin to be bombed.
It already has a bad ass interior too. hoooow sweet.

 

Really nice-looking car. Now, about that username...

 

The A BONED username doesn't really work anymore does it?

 

I've been thinking of doing the same thing selling my 30 Coupe and getting a taildragger. Maybe this is a sign??? Beautiful car..

 

sh$7t i want one of those!!!!!!congrats

 

I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky

Nice Car

 

Very nice looking car! I love the aerosedans , they look chopped from the factory.

 

235 Chev is a great motor. that's going to be one sweet ride man. the 2 x 1's look cool but have a look on cliffords website too they have some really nice bits for 235's like 1 x 4 or 1 x 2's in kit form with split extractor/headers. there is heaps of options for these. Tom Langdon's stovebolt website has some good stuff too. I got the Electric Dizzy from him and i'd reccommend it. Looks nice, works a treat, easy to set up and you can get a coil to go in the traditional spot if you are after trad looks.

I drove around a tired 235 with a sticky lifter on LPG daily for 2 years. you cannot kill a 235. I've had nothing but good experiences with my 235 considering the abuse it's copped.

I dig the new ride man. really f*n cool. I like my rods supersized too

 

I think I just soiled myself! ...just a little. Beautiful car! Congratz!!

 

Damn Dude, you got a nice one. I have a custom 48 but you should have left that one in the states so I could have another one. Good luck and enjoy...

 

Nice body style - here's one at the Bouse AZ show in March 2010...

 

congrats really nice ride

 

Chris, you've done it again! Another beautiful addition to the Wise Guys CC along with Rat Bastad's newly bought '47....... They should be landning around the same time too!

Exciting times. Can't wait to cut some laps with the Chebbies in a couple of months!

Congrats!

HC.

 

Looks great!!!

 

My Dad had one when I was a kid, I spent many hours asleep on the rear package tray. I love those skirts! I want a set for my "ethnically-correct" 53 chevy pickup truck build <grin>.

 

How about a "Tattersfield" 2 x 2GC's and a tube header??????

 

Great find congrats the color is real clean on that car wow very nice!

Good to see others in the fleetline family!

Man, that is beautiful! Fleetline Bombs are Badass!!
Another A coupe would be easier to piece together down the track if need be.
