Chevrolet Master Business Coupé

Vehicle Description

The Chevrolet Master Business Coupé from July 1938 is in exceptional condition and is a true “best in class” candidate in every respect. Vehicles of this quality, authenticity, and documentation are an absolute rarity, even among pre-war US classics.

The coupé is powered by a 3.5-liter inline six-cylinder gasoline engine with 67 kW (90 hp), combined with a classic 3-speed manual transmission. The engine impresses with its smooth running, high elasticity, and Chevrolet’s typical reliability – perfectly tuned for relaxed, stylish cruising.

The vehicle was purchased by the previous owner in California in 1990 and then imported to Germany and properly cleared through customs. In the following years, an extensive, multi-year “frame-off” restoration was carried out to the highest standard. The vehicle was completely dismantled, stripped of paint, and professionally repaired. Bodywork, welding, sandblasting, and painting of the frame and rims were carried out with the same care as the complete overhaul of the engine, axles, and brake system. The entire paint job was carried out by a specialist company.

The interior was also restored or rebuilt true to the original and corresponds exactly to the historical model in terms of material appearance and workmanship. Extensive photographic documentation impressively demonstrates the depth and quality of the restoration work.

Conclusion
This 1938 Chevrolet Master Business Coupé is a prime example of how a pre-war vehicle should be restored and preserved. Technically, visually, and historically, it impresses across the board and meets the highest standards of collectors and connoisseurs.

Or, as the sales brochure of the time aptly put it:
“A Chevrolet Master Business Coupé is fast, agile, and nimble. It drives the way you want it to—with style and comfort.”

An exceptional classic with character, substance, and rarity value—ideal for discerning enthusiasts of early American automotive history.
