Description

Introduced in 1942, the Fleetline came in two body styles; an Aerosedan and a Sport Master. The fastback roofline of the Aerosedan was an immediate success with its spunky two doors. The Sport Master features four doors and only 14,530 examples were produced, while over 61,000 Aerosedans were produced. In comparison, the four-door Sport Master sold for $920 while the Aerosedan was priced at $880. The 1942 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan was the best-selling model, and the same body was utilized for some of the smaller Pontiacs, Buicks and Oldsmobile's, but the Chevrolet version, and consequently, the cheapest version, was just as beautiful as any of them.The Aerosedan was reminiscent of upscale Cadillac models, and sold through 1949 when Chevrolet's first all-new post-war design was introduced. This design allowed Chevrolet to compete with the 1941 line of fabulous two-door fastbacks from Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac and Oldsmobile. The Aerosedan was renamed the Fleetline at this time. To create a more contemporary look, stylists smoothed the car's separate front fenders into the doors, and the earlier triangular rear quarter windows received a dogleg in-a classic styling touch that Chevy utilized, a decade before BMW utilized this design. The Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan proved to be Chevy's best-seller for 1942This 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan comes with the rare Woody Country Club package of mahogany veneer and ash which looks incredible. Select Chevrolet dealers briefly offered this unique accessory during the early post-war years; it was known as the Country Club package and it was produced by Engineered Enterprises of Detroit. The $149.50 kit wrapped most of the body in real wood from the front fenders to the back bumper, for a "woody" appearance. This car has achieved Senior Status with the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America and is a stunning restoration.
