In 1935, this body style helped Ford outsell Chevrolet for the first time using style and value alone – with roughly 820,000 built that year. The flathead V8 that originally powered it made just 85 horsepower; this particular car swapped that out for a modern LS1 crate engine, keeping the Depression-era looks and losing none of the drivability.
A 1937 Chevrolet Master coupe looks like simple Depression-era transportation, until you dig into the ground-up redesign hiding underneath it. New frame, new suspension, new engine, all in one model year. See what made this the most important Chevrolet of the decade, and why so many of these coupes are still around for collectors to find today.
