Great looking car. I'm not keen on the double chrome strip on the door and front fender.....different strokes for different folks. It's still a beauty though.

I knew a guy who had a '51 hardtop back in the '50s. His was the only one ('51) that I had ever seen. They must have been rare. Nice job on this one, I like the taillight treatment.


just a little over 100,000 made, over a million 1951 chevys made

I must amit, I bought it about 80% done . Friend of mine for the past 22 years,who has done over 50 total restorations was building it for his wife when she unexpectedly die with the anesthesia preparing for heart surgery.

He lost interest after that and I bought it last summer I finish it.

Maroon with cream color top, cream interior, 327 cu.in , powerglide trans , everything new or rebuilt.

I'll have to get some more pics. I have only driven it about 15 miles .

I have tons of pics of my 1950 Chevy , more to come.

Thank you

Love these cars. When I went off to college in 1961 I was driving a slicked up 51 fleetline with new paint, new sear covers, new headliner, port-a-walls, and I added a heater and push button radio. Wish I had a photo of it. My dad and I had gone to a wrecking yard bought a “new” engine and stick shift transmission. The seat covers and headliner was $25. The paint job $12.50 because we taped it ourselves. What fun we had. At the time my dad owned a tote-the-note lot. What a way to grow up. Thanks for sparking the memories.

GMs introduction of the hardtop design really gave a boost to the “stylishness” of their coupe designs. This one is a beautiful example of that style impact. I love the maroon and cream color scheme - it must have been popular in the day as my Dad had a ‘49 Nash coupe in the same color scheme. Not sure about the customizing of the tail lights.
