What's It Worth? 1937 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe Coupe ..Another Harley Earl Design Masterpiece

Despite the blight of The Great Depression GM's in house Art and Color Automotive

Design Studio headed by Style Guru Harley Earl was on a roll. Thru the 1930's Harley Earl and his band of gifted designers penned some of the most iconic beauty's in automotive history. Chevy despite it being the Value Make received some of Harley's most "Glam" designs.

Flush with cash in 1936 GM did a major re-tool and re-style for Chevrolet at a staggering 26 million dollars. Big Bonzo Bucks in the Depression Era 1930's. Bragged by Chevrolet as the "Diamond Crown Speedline" look it's crisp luxury look at an econo price was a sensation with the car buying public. Smaller 16 inch wheels, a sharp body line and waterfall type grille were only a few of the design perfections that graced this masterpiece.

GM just din't stop with the looks. The reliable Ole Stovebolt Six was updated to 216 cubic inches with improved oil galleys and cooling. They still used the easy to produce "Babbit" or poured in main and rod bearings but as long as you kept it cool and flush with oil it was a robust if somewhat noisy system. This 90 horsepower version of the tried and true Stovebolt Six would remain unchanged till 1951 if you bought a car from GM's Bowtie Division.

Other mechanical improvements both good and bad sometimes were a reinforced frame, juice brakes and the sometimes trouble prone Knee Action Suspension if you bought the DeLuxe Series. All of this made the 37 Chevy a much more desired product over the warmed over offering from the Blue Oval People.

All of these upgrades added up to a great year in sales. Over 815,000 people made Chevy there choice in 1937. Staggering numbers considering The Great Depression was still looming in Pre WWII America.
