1948 Chevrolet Fleetline

• The fastback body is covered in heavy surface rust, with most of the original black paint gone or faded to brown.
• Close-ups show severe rust and peeling along the lower doors, rockers, and door bottoms on both sides.
• The chrome grille and front and rear bumpers are present but dull, and the steel wheels and hubcaps are rust-stained.
• The interior is gutted — the seats are stripped to bare frames and exposed springs with no upholstery left.
• The dash is rusted and dirty, with the gauge cluster area empty and loose parts hanging below it.
• The cabin floors and sills are rusty and dirt-covered, with torn fabric hanging from the seat backs.
• The trunk floor shows peeling paint, rust staining, and loose cables lying across it.
• One front photo shows an empty engine bay with a rusted firewall — no engine is fitted.
• No underside photos are in the set, so the frame and floor structure underneath can't be judged.

Money: At $4,800 the money buys a complete-looking Fleetline fastback shell and trim as a full restoration or parts donor — budget for an engine, a complete interior, and extensive rust repair, and the frame condition underneath can't be judged, which decides whether it is a project or parts.
