Chevrolet only made the Styleline car from 1949 to 1951. This is a 1951 custom that is a real head turner and a fun car to drive.

This is a great custom hot rod, but not perfect. Paint and body imperfections while not to noticeable are present. This is a great local car show (gets a lot of attention as it is different, usually will take home an award for various classes), weekend cruiser, but it is not ready for an indoor autorama car show. But has plenty of potential or just drive as is and fun at the local cruise in.
Car drives down the road great and always turns heads and draws a crowd.
