One just like this was my first car. I bought it in 1951 when i was 16 years old. I paid $750 for it, but it needed some body work since it had been abused by the former owner. I traded it for a new 52 Chevy Bel Air hardtop about a year later. Wish i had kept both of them.
The engine is a 216. Not hydraulic lifters. It needs a valve adjustment. The following year they were available with Powerglide. Powerglides came with a 235 hydraulic lifters BUT they still had splash oiling with Babett bearings. Too bad he lowered it. I do like the split manifold and duals.
Thanks, I guess I should do a little more research. 🙄 I had a 50 chevy and I was sure it had the 235. 6 cyl. Yes I'm not to keen on the low rider look, I prefer the original style Very nice paint etc.
@@realprogressnews-theterrya8159 Your 1950 Chevy COULD have had a 235! If it had a manual transmission it had a 216 but if was an automatic (Powerglide) it had a 235.
@@craigjorgensen4637 mine was a 3 speed manua so that sounds rightl. It was the usiness mans coupe will no back seat, had come with a manual and wow how easy to work on. My first car and my favorite, was my 50 and it was a daily driver to college and work.
I have a 1950 Chevy coupe and a 1950 fleetline. That 49 is beautiful
