CHEVS OF THE 40S

In 1939 Chevrolet sees an increase again in production from a slight recession in 1938. The Master Series vehicle gets renamed as the Master "85" Series and the Sports Coupe gets auxiliary fold down opera seating. In production the Standard Sedan decreases to under 400 units whereas the Sport Sedan Master Deluxe increases to 110,520 and 20,908 of the new Sport Coupes with the new seating are produced. The Chevy 5 Window Deluxe Master Coupe gets a production boost reaching 33,809 units over the 2,790 units produced the year prior... In 1941 Chevrolet produced the Master DeLuxe and Special DeLuxe; the Chevy Master 85 had been phased out at the end of 1940. All new Chevrolets were equipped with independent front suspension. The overall length and weight of both the Chevy Master DeLuxe and Special DeLuxe increased, as well as a larger interior. This was the last year Chevy introduced the Coupe with a pick-up box on the Master DeLuxe series and Sedan Fleetline on the Special DeLuxe series...
