    That's a super clean looking wagon. Show and tell more about that beat up '40 Chevy coupe.

    Bonus: wife, daughter or whomever is behind the wheel knows how to shift a 3-on-the-tree.

    Great looking wagon! My dad had a '40 Chevrolet Business Coupe some years back when we were restoring his '55. We were running out of space because at the time he had a '57 Del Ray, '50 3100 5 window and I had a '55 2nd series and '66 C10. Even today it would be a hard decision for us to figure out which one to get rid of to keep one since we like them all. Mother nature and a motorcycle accident helped thin the herd eventually but that '40 is a neat body style.

    Beautiful car.

    With that original paint, the car must have been always garaged and very, very well cared for.

    My kind of car with the Manual Trans.

    Overdrive is a great bonus.

    How many miles are on it?

    Notice that this car also has some other rare options, including Roof Rack, 3rd Row Seat and Bumper Steps.

    Along with Power Steering and Power Brakes.

    Also notice the 1-Piece "California" Bumper.
