1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster news, pictures, and information
The 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Station Wagon was the last true woody (structured wood) from Chevrolet and the only 1948 model Chevrolet that had a list price over $2,000.00 (base list price $2,103.00).
Ash provided the structural base, while mahogany was used for the panels. Leatherette was stretched over a wood frame to provide the roof. Approximately 10,171 were built between February 1948 and January 1949.
What led to the downfall of the woody? Most experts blame the required frequent maintenance needed, but often neglected, for the wood.
This fine example features the running gear of a 1986 Camaro Z-28, a 350 cid engine and an automatic transmission.
