1935 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe - Suicide Door Inline 6 3-Speed

This 1935 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe is an exceptional example of prewar design and craftsmanship, beautifully presented following a cosmetic restoration that cost over $20,000, with receipts, photos, and notes documenting the process. Finished in a deep, elegant black exterior accented by red steel wire wheels and wide whitewall tires, this car embodies the perfect blend of sophistication and period-correct style.

1935 marked a milestone year for Chevrolet as it introduced Fisher Body's revolutionary “Turret Top” design—an all-steel roof construction that replaced the traditional wood framework. This innovation gave the Master Deluxe a stronger, quieter, and more durable body, setting a new industry standard for automotive engineering. Complementing the elegant lines of the steel roof are distinctive suicide doors that enhance the car's timeless appeal and classic prewar charm.

Power comes from Chevrolet's reliable 206 cubic-inch “Blue Flame” inline six-cylinder engine, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. The car is also equipped with GM's “Knee-Action” independent front suspension—cutting-edge technology at the time—which provides a remarkably smooth and controlled ride. The drivetrain operates as it should, and the car runs great, offering a comfortable and confident driving experience.

Inside, the cabin presents as largely original, with the kind of light wear that adds authenticity without detracting from the car's beauty. A rare AM radio with overhead speaker remains in place—a seldom-seen feature in cars of this era—though it currently needs service or replacement tubes to function. Other period details include a flip-up ashtray and clock integrated into the glovebox lid, further showcasing Chevrolet's attention to detail during this elegant era.

The cosmetic restoration, completed in 2008, primarily focused on the exterior while maintaining much of the originality of the interior. Chrome trim, brightwork, and paint all present beautifully, and the overall fit and finish of the body panels reflect careful attention to craftsmanship.

This Master Deluxe Coupe is a striking representation of 1930s American automotive design—a vehicle that combines early engineering innovation with elegant styling and enduring simplicity. With its documented history, stunning presentation, and strong mechanical performance, it's an ideal choice for local shows, weekend drives, or collectors seeking an authentic prewar classic that's ready to enjoy.
