Chevrolet entered the 1940s with a stellar lineup of gracefully shaped cars. With the next World War about to start, 1941 marked the last year of full automobile production before World War II. Chevrolets for 1940 featured new styling called “Royal Clipper,” with a front-opening “alligator” hood and a delicate grille and trim. Sealed beam headlamps called for separate parking lights that were gently placed atop the front fenders.

This beautifully styled Chevrolet Coupe is finished in a black with fender skirts, grille guard and bumper tips. The car has painted wheels with wide whitewall tires and chrome hubcaps. The powerplant is an inline six-cylinder with a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. The car still retains the original radio and foglamps.
