1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Sedan

• The orange-red metallic paint is glossy across the sedan body and flowing fenders, with chrome bumpers and grille, wood-effect running boards and no dents or rust visible.
• Polished solid alloy wheels with blackwall tires are fitted at all four corners and the car sits low with a level hot-rod stance.
• The interior is black and light grey two-tone vinyl on front and rear benches, with matching door panels, a wood-rim steering wheel and a clean beige headliner.
• The dash is a custom build with a modern multi-gauge cluster, centre screen and B&M floor shifter, and the odometer photo shows 643 miles.
• The engine bay holds a V8 with silver '454' valve covers, a purple round air filter, red plug leads and an aluminium radiator, with light speckling visible on the firewall.
• The trunk is grey-carpeted and holds a relocated battery with exposed wiring, with light soiling at the carpet edges.
• A blue assigned identification plate in the photos reads 14JA0117497, matching the record VIN.
• No underside photos are in the set, so the floors, frame and underside of this modified build can't be judged.

Money: At $29,995 the money buys a finished 454-powered '39 Master Deluxe hot rod with strong paint, custom interior and tidy engine bay on this evidence; budget for sorting any hot-rod running and wiring niggles, and the unseen underside is the one thing that can't be judged that matters at this price.
