History Your Favorite 49-52 Chevrolet

Jesus Valencia's Chevy is certainly on the top of my list right next to the one Bass was building.

 

I agree w/ Kustombuilder...

 

ok. took a second look at the Bass Chevy (been a while) and it is hands down the best. done or not!!

 

LOL. that was my old 50 before it was your old 50.

 

I like this car. What is the side trim off of? And the grill from?

 

I believe its buick trim. someone chime in if Im wrong

 

This has always been one of my favorites but Im partial to the blue one because its mine...

 

This will always stand as the standard for me.

 

The front fender and door trim appear to be Buick. The rear fender trim is stock '52 Chev; the grille is stock '51 Chev.

 

Here's my 51 Fleetline

 

new member to the family...

 

Here is my 2 favorites. Did I mention they are both mine.

 

That blue car is sexy!!!



.

 

The trim on the front, door and short piece that touches the mud guard is '54, '55 Buick trim like Larry Watson's Grapevine. This is a very old custom tick, my have been used by Larry first. The grille is '51 Chevy that has no teeth like the '52 Chevy.

Here's mine...

 

Keep 'em coming!

 

Since I'm building '52 Chevy fleetline this one has the look I'm going for in my ride, the only chance mine will roll on solids and '57 Caddy caps

CRUISER

 

Thats a sweet looking Fleetline.

 

The '49 Chevy business coupe I drove in High School, Earl Schieb Gold Desert paint, Cadillac seats, dumped in front, push button radio held on my favorite R&R station with a tooth pick... forever cool in my mind....

 

I like the headlight treatment.

 

really like my buddy kyle's 50

 

Lots of very cool custom chevys posted here so far!

I like this gasser style chev a lot, too.

 

anybody knows if the doors of a 2 door 49 fastback chevy will fit a 4 door 49 fastback, planning on a 2 door conversion, of course moving the post back and cutting quarters, im concern about the fit being the 2 door a longer door

 

this one

 

Dan Landon ..........

 

there are some really nice cars on this thread...hoping maybe mine could be close to as nice as them...

 

I have this which I wanted to recreate one I had in my teens but just can not seem to fine parts in particular moulding and trim. Guess I'll just keep it if I can not sell and figure out what to do. May have to improvise on the garnish moulidng.

 

Mine.

It is based on an illustration that Steve Stanford did in Rod and Custom in 1995. His illustration was a '54 2-door with a Fastback roof ... mine is a '51 Fastback with '54 rear quarters and taillights. It's the same one used in my Avatar. Any questions, please PM me.
