Welcome to the Basil Classic Cars web site. The Basil family has brought excellence in automotive sales and service to the buying public since 1951 and has now expanded into the classic car market. We invite you to come and see our exciting new building when you are in the Lancaster - Depew area. Located on Transit Road, our new building is devoted exclusively to classic cars and many classics are on display for you to see in our climate controlled showroom area.
You are currently viewing a 1947 Chevrolet street rod coupe. Sheet metal and exterior design on the 1947 models were primarily carried over from the early 1940s. Automotive production during world war ll stopped in 1942 in order to allow retooling to produce desperately needed bomber aircraft. At wars end, automotive production for the general public resumed once again.
This thoughtfully constructed 47 Chevy Coupe is one of the nicer wide fendered street rods we have recently seen. The two-tone teal and cream paint accented with hand painted pin striping blends perfectly with the body lines of this car. The aftermarket five spoke mag wheels mounted with black wall radial tires combine nicely with the recently restored bumpers and chrome body trim. The dual side view sport mirrors are body colored causing them to blend perfectly with the overall design.
A look under the hood discloses a well crafted compartment housing a Corvette LT1 V8 engine that transfers power to the ground through a 4L60 automatic transmission with exhaust exiting just ahead of the rear wheels. Air conditioning has been added to keep you cool and the four core aluminum radiator is installed to ensure the car will remain cool during your cruises on those warm summer nights.
The trunk area is fully carpeted, a matching carpeted cover houses the twelve volt battery and a fire extinguisher has been thoughtfully added for your safety.
Enough cannot be said about the interior, a masterful combination of new and old. An original dashboard retains its correct radio and chrome trim, but modern gauges have been fitted perfectly within the dash to the left of the speedometer. A three spoke custom wheel is fitted to a tilt steering column. The power bucket seats and door panels have been upholstered with two tone leather. The matching custom crafted center console houses and AM/FM CD stereo unit, power window switches, a floor mounted gearshift and various controls. Power steering and power disc brakes have also been included in this build. This Chevy Coupe is thoughtfully constructed for power, performance and comfort and will get a good deal of attention on local cruise nights. Come in and have a look at this beautiful machine, we are certain it will captivate your attention.
