Description
This beautiful Chevy coupe was on display at the 2023 Depot Days Car Show in Wallace, Idaho. General Motors used the same body style from 1941 through 1948 (understand that domestic auto production was halted during World War II). Only minor changes distinguish the various annual models. One of those is the trim around the side windows. In the 1947 models, the windows were circled individually. The '48 had a single trim band around the whole side window arrangement, as seen here. Unfortunately, the powers that be at the Depot Days show chose to file the owner information sheets instead of letting the owners put them on display in the car windshields, leaving visitors to guess at what version car they were seeing. Based solely on that window trim, I am guessing this Chevy is a beautifully restored 1948 model.
