Behind the barn. This 1939 Chevrolet Master sedan was amid the dozens of classic cars together with hot rods that Junkyard Life discovered during a three-day tour of Tennessee, Georgia, together with Alabama. The owner, a gear caput amongst xx rusty cars scattered across his East Tennessee farm, mentioned that an one-time Chevy behind the hay barn was a low-mile, solid, original. We didn’t aspect a WWII-era machine inward fourth dimension capsule condition. Let’s get got a closer look.
Looks similar a Cadillac
Chevrolet redesigned their 1939 models amongst longer hoods, the headlights mounted on top of the front end fenders together with wrap jump suspension. The flashier grille together with hood ornament mimicked Cadillac’s luxury line-up. This was a lot of machine for less than $900. The toll sounds similar a steal, precisely recollect the average annual income was $1,300.

Only original once
The Junkyard Life crew crawled all over the ’39 Chevy, noting the 590 miles on the odometer together with the relatively unblemished body. The machine has likely traveled many to a greater extent than miles on the original inline half dozen cylinder engine together with 3-speed transmission, precisely nosotros tin dream, right?
Everything appeared unmolested together with was where it should live on on this boom from the past. Values on generally original, 4-door, 5-passenger, social club sedan projects of ’39 vintage get got stayed surprisingly low. I’ve seen similar cars, inward somewhat rougher status sell inward the $2,000 toll range.
Buy what yous tin afford
Hot rodders had a plain solar daytime transforming forgotten, menage unit of measurement sedans from the 1930s together with 1940s into custom street rods during the 1980s. Those pastel-painted beauties together with lineament residuum mods frequently sell for $20,000-to-$30,000 together with up. Finding an original machine is the best means to budget construct your own. What’s stopping you? Time or money?
Coupes tin convey to a greater extent than dollars precisely the 4-door sedan was the do-everything menage unit of measurement car. Imagine pulling into the large box shop side yesteryear side to a row of novel Chevy Suburbans, Tahoes together with mini vans? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 1939 Chevy puts the "class" inward classic car.
Keep your eyes opened upwardly for one-time cars together with I volition run across yous at the junkyard!
