1950 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

“The most beautiful buy of all!” Chevrolet overhauled its entire lineup in 1949, moving from prewar designs to brand new cars with modern full-width bodies and pontoon fenders. The division offered Special and Deluxe models in both Fleetline and Styleline series. Buyers could buy a bare bones business coupe for as little as $1,300 or spring $2,200 for an eight-passenger station wagon. Virtually every body type and price level were offered in between. The only powertrain available was a 216 cu-in six-cylinder engine mated to a three-speed manual transmission. 

For 1950, visual changes were minimal from 1949, and they were still sold as Special and upscale Deluxe trims with fastback Fleetline and traditional Styleline designations. Which to choose: futuristic fastback or traditional sedan? The Fleetline was a popular novelty at first, but by 1950 sales were shifting toward the Styleline, and 1951 would be the last year for the fastback body. This 1950 Styleline two-door in Deluxe trim is proof you couldn’t go wrong with either Chevrolet beauty. 

Robert A. Jones, a successful businessman and second-generation leader of the still going concern, Jones Brothers Contracting of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, had an innate understanding of the many heavy duty machines that were a part of the family business. Early on, Mr. Jones turned that knowledge into a passion for road cars and acquired his first collector car in 1969, at the age of 35 — the famous Ford Model T. That single and simple pre-war car sparked a passion that never tempered for Mr. Jones and eventually, influenced by the more common Jones family marque of choice, his passions would burn even brighter for early Chevrolets. As his collection grew and changed over the years, his interests were focused on displaying the cars at regional shows and concours, as well as still driving many of his road-worthy classics. Hagerty Marketplace is proud to offer The Jones Collection, entirely without reserve, comprising some long-treasured vehicles from his personal collection.
