    This ole Chevy has been sitting for just two or three years, but in that short time, things can get out of hand quick! Wonder how well this rig can clean up?

    When I was a kid in the very early 50's I would catch a ride to school in a '49 two-door. One day I got in the back seat to go home and the kid in the front seat slammed my fingers in the door.......Memories? Yep, I got 'em. Damn, those are really zoot rims someone put on that old scooter.

      Born in '56 so a lot of these older cars were still on the road as I grew up. Not a gm fan either-beyond a '60 Impala. A neighboring farmers wife had a '48-big ol ugly-and a bud liked '52s which I couldn't understand. I'd put this '49 in my driveway tho. Difference is the rearend from the backdoor. I just don't remember a lot of these being around. FOMOCO and gm did a complete change for '49, the fords being a lot more modern looking so guessing they really out sold the gm.

      Yep the 51’s looked almost just like that. We had a two door fast back. Was the first car I drove. Was only 11 and had to have my left arm hand on the door so I could see over the dash. We had a dairy farm in Minnesota. Pulled hay racks, hauled feed and every now and then would pull the back see and haul a calf or two. The old inclosed driveshaft/reared finally gave out on my older brother trying to get the car going when he was rolling down a hill backwards. The old car would almost blow the little warm air from the heater before the radio would come on. Old tube radio. WDGY in the twin cities and some nights depending on the weather and if sitting on a hill we could get WLS in Chicago. AM radio only.

    Dylan, you might want to call it a fast back but in the day, it was called a turtle back. Now, just remember that if you turn on the radio, it takes a while for the tubes to warm up. You might heard a buzzing come out of this unit. The sound is produced by what was called a vibrator needed for some tubes.

    It’s called a Fleetline. The one with the hump was a Styleline. Thing that sucks about the 49’e is they’re babbit style bearings with the very passive oiling system. My 49 exploded on the way home from buying it so our local wreck yard stuck a 59 235 in it. That was a fun car for me as a teenager! Will always have a soft spot for these things.

    My friend had that same engine in a boom wrecker his dad made out of a old school bus frame for the pump for the arm. I remember the float in the Carter carburetor would stick, and you had 2 choices: pull it off, tear it down and it may free up, or tap on the side of the carb with a hammer in JUST the right place and it would start right up.

    Know all about those wide tires and no power steering problems. My 92 VW camper has wide 18s on it. You can defo feel you elbow pop when you try to make slow manoeuvres in car parks

    That's a beautiful car. Love the fastback. Rims are debatable, but suit the car.
