1948 Chevy Fleetmaster six series:

[ismaelg]

Hello,

Just curious: Has there ever been a model of the 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster six-series? Yes, that was the Indy Pace car for 1948. Galaxie made the Aerosedan if I'm not mistaken. I have no idea if that could be used as a starting point.

Thanks,

Thanks Mark!

I sent him an email asking for more details.

Thanks,

The Galaxie Aerosedan kit can indeed easily be used for a starting point for that car Ismael, & there is a resin convertible transkit for it, & R&R made it. Star Models lists it on their website, & here's the link:

Two pictures of the 48 Chevy convertible transkit are in the 4th row & they can be enlarged if needed.

I've met Steve Kohler, (the guy that runs Star Models), & can vouch for his honesty & integrity, though I do recommend calling or emailing him as the the availability of the kit. He will also be upfront about the quality & condition of the kit, a good thing given R&R's somewhat checkered quality reputation.

Hope this helps!

I'm going to have to get a 48 Chevy coupe model from him. My first car was a 48 Chevy coupe.
