Thank you--I almost skipped this, in my search for original films, but this was well worth the stop. I learned thins I have not seen elsewhere. Glad you left it up.
Loved the presentation was it really 1949 I would hsve been 3 years old. The 49 to 51 fleetline is my favorite car of all. I guess that was a tape playing do cool!! Thank you.
To make an even deeper point. This video does well to mentally transform us to a time when America was truly BAD ASS. For this…invaluable experience…I thank you.
Love it!!! Prettiest car ever. My grandfather had a '49 Chevy for years. Always loved the clock, radio, steering wheel, dash. Then in 1974 I bought a 1950 Chevy which I drove for 17 years. Sure miss it. I'd love to grab the one you show. Thanks!!!
Someone said it below, Fleetline wasn't a coupe. The Styleline came in a coupe. You can spot a coupe by the noticeably smaller backseat side windows, the roof line being much shorter and therefore the trunk lid longer. The coupe was a Styleline 2 door car. Not to be confused with the Styleline 2 door sedan. And not a Fleetline. I love the Chevy Fleetline you've got there...! Cheers.
My Father had a 49 Oldsmobile (we got annoyed with him, we liked the Chevy model); going on our yearly Mecca trip to Ohio, the Olds died, and he and his brother went out to buy a car, they showed up with 1936 Buick Pheaton complete with running boards and wooden spoke wheels, it was beautiful, when we returned to N.Y. he traded for a 1953 Buick and $100.00 dollars, this was back in 1955, I know because that was the year I first heard Elvis on the radio.
you did "fenomenal",,the added touch looks like it belong there,,(just my 2 cents) maybe you can get some metal shop to help you terminate the 2 strips down from the Chevy emblem to the lip of the hood,,no matter I love those slanted (cucaracha look) 49 to 52 i think..THAT WAS STYLING FROM FACTORY!!!
Nice resto job even with the period correct additions. I have a 49. However. all fleetlines are sedans, not coupes, no matter how many doors they have.

I have a 1949 Chevy Fleetline my Dad gave me when he passed last Sept 2012 and i love it
Thank you for sharing. Your car is beautiful and well kept.
Thank you I sold it many years ago
Wow..... And nothing at all wrong with adding that hood trim. 😍👍🏻💕
Beautiful!! Mesmerising engine sound. Loved the park assist. 😁
Nice video. Thanks for sharing this beauty, especially the dash. Wow! Liked the "auto parker." That was neat.
I like what you did with that chrome on the hood. It looks original.

in answer to John Powell: The knob with the T, is a throttle. Sort of a cruise control for people in Kansas or central Illinois
Nice resto job even with the period correct additions. I have a 49. However. all fleetlines are sedans, not coupes, no matter how many doors they have.
sam hunt interesting I did not know that!
Hey bud, can you tell me where you purchased you seat material from? Looks very sharp looks like original stuff.
Hey! That's the original material.
Who makes the curb feelers???
And what is the music album
Ian Crawford hey there...it's Raymond Scott and his Orchestra
Where you from nice car love 49 to 52.chevy whst6 State you im
Beautiful Beautiful Chevy!!! If your ever interested in selling it please send me a message,..thank you and GOD BLESS!
i am very interst in the auto part. Where can i get one Sir
Do you knw what modern means😂that’s all old school low rider car
Modernism is a styling term! Lol! But many of my friends ask lol!
Hello,and the Pontiac 1948?
I sold it a long time ago. It is in France!
Wow in Francia!!
I have one question what is the knob with the T mine seems to be stuck
"T" was for throttle. Let you set the idle speed or (God forbid) use it like a cruise control.
Does it have fenton headers?
Thanks yeah those curb feelers get jammed at 5 am one morning and didn't stop honking argh!hahhahaaa
Didn't the '49 Chevy have a round starting pedal on the floor?
Absolutely not, it had a silver button on the dash left side
you start a car, you turn on your girl/boy friend. Nice car, add ons suck!
David Burton to each his own. Happy Thanksgiving.
Yes! Happy Holiday to you also.
Not a coupe!!
