Hot Rods If you had your choice 37 or 38 Chevy Coupe?

37 !! even if I didnt have family history with one. Love both 37 and 38 coupe body style, but 37 grill just looks better with tall narrow nose

 

I like both 37's and 38's. So witch ever one I had the most or the best parts for, well that's the one I'd build. Ya can't go wrong! I had a 38 coupe in high school. I wish I still had it. But selling it, taught me to not sell a Hot Rod that I really liked. Here's a few photos of my old 38 coupe. Good luck with your build. I just noticed when this thread was started. So witch did you build? Any pictures? Thanks Ron............

 

I like both equally, I followed my 38 since I was 12 years old, but if it where a 37 I would have sought it out as well. I was 64 when I finally had the opportunity to buy it. It’s everything I thought it was and a lot of fun to drive.I also like the 39’s but they have to have the right stance and wheel/tire combo to look really good. They’re just a little too bulky.

Like others here, I like both ‘37 & ‘38, with a preference for ‘37. But had I found my current ‘37 as a ‘38, I would have jumped on it just the same. Some pics of ‘in build’ process..

First pic ‘as found’ ...well cared for older restoration.....second; newly built 250 GM six. Dyno’d 228 hp/258 lbs ft. Third; panel I fabricated for trunk floor to improve differential clearance. Now fully welded in, no screws. Fourth; ‘new shoes’. Fifth; upgraded rear suspension w/newly built 3.73 limited slip 8.8” axle.

my highschool car in 1966...

 

I'd do the '37

 

37 was a great year for Chevrolet Coupes and pickups. This is one my Son just picked up.

37 for me

 

C'mon, break out the grinder n' cutoff wheel, and fire up the welder - combine the best of all your parts and make a front end that will have those who know these cars wondering just what the heck is different with your car - Hot rodding! Call it a 37 1/2 prototype car. Flex those creative muscles!

 

buddy just got his 38 on the road...

 

I love my car
