1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe – Michael Smith


Strait lines and clean simple beauty are what makes this 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe so appealing. It is easy to relate to.

This compact black beauty, with its’ fat white wall tires, has a 350 cu. inch Chevy motor, 56 Chevy 3:55 posi rear-end, mid-size GM clip front-end and dual exhaust system. Michael modified the automatic transmission with an M-21 4-speed and added steel wheels with hub caps and beauty rings.

Michael has been involved with both Street Rods and Hot Rods, forever. He claims to have been born with “Rod Fever.” Michael shows his Rods at local Cruise Nights and Rod Runs.
