Custom 1941 Chevrolet Special De Luxe Business Coupe in Gladewater, Texas

Written by Ken Altes

I found interesting cars and trucks all along my recent jaunt to E. Texas.  Looking halfway like a cab, It has a 1969 Chevy front suspension, rear axle, a four speed auto and speed parts on the straight six engine.  I love to see the original”Stovebolt” inline, OHV six-cylinder engines, the only engine Chevy offered from 1929 until the “small block” V8 joined the stable in 1955.  The earliest of these engines were known as “stovebolt” sixes because some of the bolts in the the engine looked like those used in woodstoves.

This handsome beast was posing on S. Congress Ave. in Austin Friday night during Lonestar Round Up week.  What you bet it’s got diesel power?

Great find, I’ve see very few of these, mostly the grilles removed to be applied to custom cars.  Love the GM fastbacks after WWII and this one really is nice to see.
