History

In 1949, Chevrolets got the first new styling after the war. Most prominent were of course the integrated fenders. 'Deluxe' was Chevy's upper-end model. The lowest priced Deluxe was the Deluxe Styleline 6-passenger sedan. Brakes were 11-inch drums, the front suspension had stabilizers. Other changes were the Powerglide, a two-speed automatic transmission. Chevy exclusively installed it in the Deluxe and Bel Air models. It was powered by a 235 cu in six-cylinder engine developing 105 horsepower. The company named the engine finally the "Blue Flame six." Models sold with the standard three-speed manual transmission got the usual 216.5-cubic inch engine, developing 92 horsepower.

Chevrolet offered many convenience and styling options throughout the post-war years: One was tinted glass which was introduced in 1952, the final year for this style. Car interior had cloth bench seats. The dash was made from metal. Sometimes also with a simulated, painted wood grain. Chevy also offered a radio. It was a simple vacuum tube type with integrated speaker.
