This 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible has been tastefully rebuilt into a reliable, street-friendly cruiser while retaining its classic presence. Finished in GM Medium Maui Blue with fresh chrome bumpers, new glass, and a power-operated convertible top, it pairs vintage looks with thoroughly updated mechanicals.
Under the hood, the original inline-six is long gone - replaced with a 350 V8 built into a 383 stroker by Westerberg Advanced Engines. The motor uses custom internals including forged pistons, a retrofit hydraulic roller cam, and AFR heads, with fueling handled by a Mass-Flo EFI system. Supporting components include a new pulley system, radiator, and a 140-amp alternator. Documentation for the build, including machining details and compression test results, is included. Power is sent through a 700R4 overdrive transmission to a 3.73 rear end, with Strange SS street axles ensuring durability.
The chassis has also been modernized. It features a heavy-duty full-frame chassis with Detroit Speed power steering, Wilwood Pro spindles, and a four-wheel disc brake conversion. Suspension and braking upgrades bring the handling and stopping power up to modern expectations.
Inside, the cabin balances old and new with antique ivory AutoMeter gauges, a vintage-look AM/FM radio, and a clean presentation throughout.
The car rides on 15-inch chrome 5-spoke wheels that complement its classic convertible profile. A steel fuel tank has been fitted for safety and reliability.
Overall, this '52 Styleline Deluxe Convertible combines the unmistakable look of an early-1950s Chevrolet with the drivability and dependability of a thoughtfully built modern drivetrain and chassis setup. It's a turn-key cruiser ready for shows, weekend drives, or long-haul cruising.
