1940 Chev Sloper
This is a 1940
Chevrolet all enclosed coupe a uniquely Australian design. These were built by
Holden's between 1935 and 1941 and were available in a number of different
makes such as Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Vauxhall.
This is a
Pullman Deluxe and came standard with aerial, electric wipers and the back seat
that folds down. ( A prelude to the modern hatchback.) These were built
in low numbers with a total of all makes and years being just over 9000. Only
149 Chev sloper's being built in 1940. This particular car has been in the
family for many years.
Most of the 1940
production of Holden's were taken over by the Australian Army for the war
effort. In the restoration of this car Olive paint was found as the
second paint to be applied to the car with another coat of Brewster green above
that.( Also during restoration all the accidents my father had were found
including a roll over. )
