    Simple, no-nonsense function, comfort and durability; with a subtle touch of chrome on the louvers. Though probably redone, interior fabrics appear to be authentic for the era. What a show off in red!

    My grandfather drove his 1939 Chevrolet Coupe over 100,000 miles in ten years (which was a lot in those days) and never had a problem with the splash lubrication engine. He was fanatical about frequent oil changes which really helped its longevity; once the car got over about 50,000 miles it burned oil so he would keep a case in the trunk...each gas fill-up add a quart. No directional signals as they were optional in the 1930s, government required starting in the 1953 model year. Gramps drove on the Pennsylvania Turnpike the day after it opened in 1940 in that car.

    Hi Jay! Nice Chev, there! The mid 30's GM cars were all really good looking! Perhaps the pinnacle of the GM styling efforts! That little guy would make a nice, solid family cruiser! I would think that they probably make some kind of kit to upgrade the engine to insert bearings. They do that with the Model A Ford engines all the time. The first WYR FORD all the way! LOVE the design of the 1936 Ford! Second, wanted to pick the Chev, but you put that Supercharged Graham on there and I just HAD to pick it!!

  • @captaccordion
    @captaccordion 5 місяців тому +2

    Hy Jay. Oh my, you got it very wrong about the knee action suspension. It's not marketing hype - it was a type of independent front suspension, very unlike anything which came before or has come since. It was also called Dubonnet suspension and was only ever used by GM as far as I know, which included British Vauxhalls. It was ok when new but very awful when worn and I think by 1940 they'd stopped using it. Next time you're in that place crawl under for a look. It's really weird and very difficult to describe. Also, funny thing, but you showed the super rare 33 DeSoto a few days ago, which I'd never seen, yet in this video one was pictured in the flood photos! Also, you didn't thing the Chev's upholstery looked original, and of course it has been renewed, but it does look period correct. Finally, that windscreen wiper knob served GM well, being used also in Australian Holden's until 1955. Cheers.

      @@What.its.like. Like I said, next time you're there, get down on the ground for a look. It's not marketing hype for shock absorbers, it's a setup you've never seen which will give you serious head scratching. Even the Wikipedia article on Dubonnet suspension struggles to describe it in either words or pictures. The first thing you'll probably notice is the front axle bolted directly to the frame with no springs in between! Wikipedia did correct me on one point though. It's use in European cars was more widespread than I had realised.

    Very simple styling, almost austere. And the running boards extend under the front fender where with most cars they stop at the fender. Chevrolet was now a solid competitor with Ford with low prices making them quite popular. And this car year was new enough to survive through the war without getting scrapped like many older cars were.
    WYR is this Chevy; the others look a bit frumpy to me. Round 2 is the Nash though the Graham is more interesting.
    Great choice of a song for this episode, fits this car perfectly!

    36 Ford V8
    36 Chevy Master D
    I've made no secret about the fact that when it comes to the 30s I'm pretty much a Ford fan all the way through. But I have to admit there are some Chevys from that era that I do like and that is one of them. It looks absolutely stunning in that red.
    For 1936 the choice was if you were a young family and you wanted a car you could cruise around in that was like a hot rod you would buy the Ford V8. Which in my opinion was a much better looking automobile that year
    However, if you had a family already with kids that were growing up fast you might want a car with lots of room inside. In that case you would clearly go for the Chevy.
    There would be no doubt that the Ford with that strong reving V8 is a faster car. That said the Chevy while not as fast would not have overheating issues nor suffer from frequent vapor locks.

    I just wonder if mainstream brands like Ford, Chevrolet do still carry parts for their models before WWII. It is known that Mercedes-Benz does. Maybe there is an aftermarket parts supply for those brands?
    When orphan brands are featured you always stress out that engine and body parts are hard to come by.
    Anyhow there is always modern parts, engine, transmissions, brake systems, lighting sets, tires for tasteful restomoding, especially, if the car is intended for daily driving or used for very long highway trips, for instance taking part in car shows all over the USA and Canada.

    That's a 1936 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe BUSINESS SEDAN. The "hump trunk" is the dead give-away. A "normal" sedan has a "scooped-out" ski-slope FLAT trunk. ALL GM's between 1934 and 1939 with "hump trunks" were known as "Business sedans" for salesmen to have room for "sample cases" and extra luggage room. Chrysler called a few of their cars "Business Sedans" then "DeLuxe Sedans", then ALL Chrysler products had "hump trunks" standard from 1936-'37 onwards.

    So often you give engine size in meters, but American cars were in cubic inch displacement. So for those people who want to know the CID of an engine here's the math. 61 Cid is 1L. 750 cc is 45 Cid. So 5l times 61= 305. Let's take a Ford 289, ÷ 61= 4.7L. Some rounding is done with all engine sizes.
