1939 Chevy Business Coupe
This car started off as an original 1939 Chevy all steel car with only 78,000 original miles and had been garage kept all its life. We only found one piece of rust in the entire car and it was about 1” wide by 4” long where the rear fender bolted to the body. This body was a true rare find!
