Last registered in 1972, this 1952 Chevrolet Fleetline has been hibernating in a barn until recently. Seeing sunlight for the first time in almost 40 years this Chevrolet is solid but has some issues. Loaded with plenty of potential, this stylish Fleetline is priced at $4,000. Find it here on craigslist out of Corinth, Mississippi.  Underneath the hood of this Fleetline isn’t too bad off from the time spent stored. Granted the heater box area, and the battery tray are crispy, but the fire wall and inner fenders are solid. The 216 cubic inch inline 6 is greasy enough on the outside that there is a glimmer of hope that the engine may not be seized. This is a manual transmission car with a column shifted 3 speed. The engine compartment is mostly complete, but lacking a radiator due to some likely money hungry thieves. The interior is interesting in this Fleetline. The seats have held up very well to the test of time, but the headliner just couldn’t hang on any longer. Examining the interior photos reveals a reasonable condition interior. The dash looks to be in fair shape with no major damage, the door panels are present, but are wavy and need some help. The only negative aspect about this Chevrolet is that the floors haven’t fared as well as the rest of the body. The rear floors need to be replaced, but new replacement panels are available. The floor rot looks to be concentrated to the rear floor area. Looking over the exterior of this Fleetline shows a remarkably straight body. There are no apparent dents or dings, and the body is rot free on the exterior. There is still some of the factory black paint remaining, but not much. This Fleetline does wear a layer of dirt and dust, but the glass looks to be in decent shape. The trim is complete, except for a piece missing on the passenger fender. The chrome is pitted, but is not rotted. The grill is in good shape looking as if it would polish up nicely. Even the taillights are present in this Chevrolet, as it would seem time and heat usually get the best of old taillight lenses. 1947 Chev fleet line four door. Body is in very nice shape. 6 banger 3 spd. Has not run in a couple years. If interested.Contact: Please call (612) two-one-four-1-8-six-six. Copy and paste in your email: [email protected]

Posted July 7 Agree. The lack of the quarter windows really helps a lot. My favorite bodystyles for these postwar small body GMs are coupe and this one (after convertible or wagon, but before the fastbacks). Had a 47 Chevy coupe for a short time, one of only 2 cars I had I never drove and the only one that didn't run under my ownership. This one looks like it could be an ideal first antique for someone.

Posted July 7 (edited) Had one almost identical in the late '60s, but it was a '48, for about 2 days. It was the family car and I removed the battery and sent it to the junk yard ($25.) The car ran well but needed a brake job. The yard worker drove that car many years after, so it had a good life.

Posted July 7 The 1946-'48 Fleetline sub-series DK, EK & FK were a two model, topline offering as this Sportmaster 4dr sedan and Aero Sedan 2dr sedanette (fastback). They featured upholstery fabric exclusive to this subseries and the triple speed line fender moldings. Other than the convertibles and station wagons, these were the most expensive models Chevrolet fielded, something of any early Impala or Caprice series in concept. |
