1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster

1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster â?" Frame-Off Restoration with LS V8 Swap and Code 504 Chassis Why This Car Is Special The 1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster occupies an interesting place in postwar American automotive history. When the war ended in 1945, American manufacturers scrambled to resume civilian production. Chevrolet returned with a lineup that was largely unchanged from the prewar 1942 models â?" the tooling had been mothballed, not scrapped, and GM put it right back to work. The result was a line of cars that carried distinctly prewar styling into a country hungry for anything on four wheels. The Stylemaster was the entry-level series in the 1946â?"1948 Chevrolet lineup, positioned below the Fleetmaster, and it sold in large numbers precisely because demand far outpaced supply in those early postwar years.
