1936 Scarce RHD Chevrolet Sloper Sports Coupe Restored For Sale
Chevrolet in common with other American manufacturers supplied RHD Canadian built vehicles to the growing Empire market to circumvent punitive duties on US manufactured vehicles. Additionally, vehicles imported into Australia where bodied there based on current US and local designs.
The Australian Chevrolet Streamline Sports Coupe was an exception, being a local design found only in Australia, and designed to replace the earlier Chevrolet coupe fitted with a dickey seat. Providing enclosed cover for two passengers. The initial models were first built in 1935 and were in production until 1940, each year following the current Chevrolet design. The ‘Sloper’ as it is known in Australia, is a full 2+2, and has the capability of folding down the rear seat to increase luggage or storage space for tools and equipment for long distance events. Designed for pre war Australian roads, it also may have a slightly higher ground clearance than US produced cars, making it an ideal candidate for historic endurance rallies, with parts being readily available. This car was built in mid 1936, and is fitted with the original 3. 4 Litre (207 cu. in) straight six OHV engine developing 80 BHP (26HP) driving through a conventional three speed gearbox.
This coupe is only one of a handful known to be left in existence, is in excellent condition having been an older restoration, and stored in a collection for the last fifteen years until imported into the UK some two years ago. Recently recommissioned, the six cylinder 3. 4 litre engine is in excellent condition, in fact it appears almost new in some respects, with constant oil pressure, reliable starting, with a watch like tick over. The underside of the car is as new with an excellent chassis and metal floor, the interior has been retrimmed, and whilst restored the ‘Sloper’ retains a high degree of originality both mechanically, lights, instruments, controls etc.
Mechanically the car runs extremely well, has powerful hydraulic brakes, good steering and is capable of keeping up with modern traffic. The body work is again in extremely good solid condition with no rust , the paint has mellowed, but provides a pleasing patinated appearance.
Sold as seen, in very good working order with a current UK V5C , original 1936 Chevrolet Holden handbook and digital copy of 1936 sales brochure. I have no hesitation in recommending the car, it is a scarce model capable of travelling long distances with a high degree of reliability. For further information, arrangements to view, please call or email me directly.
