That hasn't been changed! Even though the car was constantly developed.

It holds itself against more modern cars

Edit: Plagiarised elsewhere for you.
1938 Chevrolet Coupe – The coupe was one of several Grant’s late father, Ron Silvester, owned and raced in the sixty’s. This car was built by a very good friend and work mate of his, named Jim Walker. Jim was such a meticulous engineer and would hand make anything needed for the car and as with all p***ions working 24 stints to build the car up after an insidence was ‘fun’ for Jim. Sadly both have p***ed away or the stories could be on going for ever. The Coupe was badly damaged in a race at Ruapuna where Ron got his jandals [flip-flops] stuck under the pedals. This caused a panic in the time to get the damaged car ready for a race that was to be two weeks from the time of the crash, so whilst Ron was getting repaired in hospital with a damaged shoulder etc Jim was building the car to race again. The Coupe had some great wins over that period . The car is all steel and original 1938 solid beam front suspension with a 1955 Chevy diff with 3.72 ratio Detroit locker unit, Muncie 4 speed rockcrusher box with Tilton triple plate clutch unit, Chev 327ci engine that has been bored and stroke in the ’60’s to 370ci. The main feature being the original 6 x 2 barrel ’97’ Stromberg carbs that feed the engine.

 

Another Chevy Coupe was raced in NZ by Kevin Green [who later shot through to the States with the car]


This colour photo graced the pages of NZ Hotrod magazine I believe
