The Chevrolet Fleetline was produced by US automaker Chevrolet from 1941 to 1952.
The Fleetline was introduced late in the 1941 model year as a 4-door sedan. In 1942 a fastback 2-door "Aerosedan" was also offered. In the 1941/42 model years, the only engine available was the 216cui inline 6 "Blue Flame", which produced 90 horsepower at 3300 rpm. The exterior sported smooth curves, and chrome and stainless trim.
Production was indefinitely delayed in 1942 due to World War II after 110,000 had been made, though several thousand Chevrolet coupes and sedans were produced during the war years for military staff use.
In 1945, production for civilians resumed, unchanged from the pre-war model.
The 1949 to 1952 Models were completely different to the earlier years, with the fleetline "fastback" shape being quite distinct from a normal sedan shape.
