Chevrolet 1948 Fleetmaster 2-Dr Sport Coupe Restomod (XVV 146)
This artwork celebrates a uniquely crafted example of the 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster—part Restomod, part Hot Rod, part Custom, and unmistakably special. With its curvaceous coupe body and art-deco-inspired grille, the Fleetmaster has long been a favourite canvas for modification in the US, yet remains a rare sight on UK roads. This particular car, extensively built in America, blends classic late-40s style with the performance heart of a 1975 Chevy Camaro, including a fully dressed 350 V8 small block, TH350 transmission, 10-bolt rear axle, Camaro steering column and a Mustang II front suspension with rack-and-pinion power steering.
To reflect the personality of this custom coupe, the artwork is set against colour washes inspired by the fresh greens and warm tones of a Boston spring, with splashes and textures suggesting April showers and muddy roads. These layered, atmospheric hues echo the car’s blend of elegance and attitude—honouring its American heritage while capturing the energy and motion of a vehicle built to be driven and admired.
