Gateway Classic Cars of Houston
1910 Cypress Station Dr.
Houston, TX 77090
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1940 Chevrolet Special deluxe coupe. This maroon 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe wears its classic lines beautifully and welcomes you inside to a comfortable gray cloth interior that feels right at home with modern driving conveniences. The cabin is kept pleasantly cool by Vintage Air-style air conditioning, and long drives are made more enjoyable with the AM/FM radio and cassette player for music or nostalgia. The truck rolls on rally wheels with polished hub caps and radial tires that give it the right stance and confident road manners, while power steering and a tilt steering wheel make city parking and highway miles equally effortless.Under the hood the stout 350 V8 is built for eager, usable power and is paired to a smooth Turbo 400 automatic transmission for relaxed, predictable driving. The high-rise intake manifold helps the engine breathe better at midrange and improves throttle response, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor delivers the fuel with crisp, immediate reaction when you open the throttle. Aluminum valve covers help with heat management and add a clean, finished look to the engine bay, and steel headers free up exhaust flow so the motor makes more torque while sounding purposeful. Stopping is equally well sorted thanks to power brakes aided by a dual-reservoir brake booster that provides strong assist and an extra measure of safety and redundancy. This Special Deluxe blends classic style with thoughtful mechanical upgrades to deliver a driven, comfortable vintage experience.
