Single-Family-Owned 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster

This 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster is finished in two-tone red and black over a tan cloth interior and is powered by a 216.5ci inline-6 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission.  Equipment includes whitewall tires, dual bench seats, and original 6-volt electrical system.  This is said to be only a two-owner car that has remained in the same family since new.  Located in Miami, Florida, this Fleetmaster is now offered on a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in two-tone red and black and has undergone a professional restoration several years ago.  Ful-length running boards are equipped between the black fenders. The brightwork for the bumpers, mirrors, grille, hood ornament, and window surrounds are free of corrosion or pitting.  The car retains its original emblems in the proper locations, and the fuel filler cap is located at the right rear quarter.

Factory steel wheels are finished in black with chrome center caps, and they are mounted to wide-whitewall tires on all four corners.

The interior is fitted with tan carpeting and tan cloth bench seats for both front and rear.  The upholstery was redone at the time of restoration and shows in good condition.  The metal dashboard is finished in tan with chrome accents spanning the center section between the symmetrical gauge layout.  Aftermarket turn signals have been added with a chrome switch mounted on the steering column. Windows are manual-crank with wing windows included up front. 

Instrumentation includes a rounded 100-mph speedometer as well as an analog clock, along with accompanying gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature.  The vehicle has a 5-digit odometer; true mileage is unknown. 

The 216.5ci inline-6 engine is original to the car and retains the factory 6-volt electrical system.  Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed manual transmission and a column-mounted shift lever. 

The trunk is upholstered with black carpeting and equipped with a full size spare tire, bumper jack and tools.
