Spencer Tracy was selected as America’s favorite movie star, and as part of a Chevrolet promotional contest, was given a new 1941 Chevrolet. Bridging the gap between pre- and post-World War II production automobiles, Chevrolet introduced the Fleetline Sedan in 1941. Upon the official entry of the United States into the war, production of the car for civilian use was stopped the following year, and it eventually resumed after the conclusion of the war in 1946.

There were many improvements in 1941 and additional standard equipment for the Special Deluxe included stainless steel hood moldings and window reveal moldings, as well as a chrome-plated license plate lamp.

This 1941 Chevrolet is a former Antique Automobile Club of America National First Prize Winner, accomplishing this title in1977 and was also a nationally-recognized Chevrolet club winner in the same timeframe, with badges identifying the car as such displayed on the front grille.

The Chevrolet Fleetline Special Deluxe Sedan is still presented in a solid and tidy manner, and it is powered by a 216-cid six-cylinder engine fueled by a single-barrel carburetor and powered by a six-volt electrical system. The transmission is an appealing three-speed column-shift manual transmission and bringing the car to a stop are four-wheel hydraulic brakes. The sedan has fender skirts and black paint that is complemented by chrome bumpers and grille. The tan interior has clear seat covers, lovely wooden dash with a clock, heater, and AM radio. Whitewall tires with chrome hubcaps accent the outside of the car.
