Chevrolet Deluxe Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1949–1952) — First Generation
You meet the first-generation Chevrolet Deluxe in Cabrio, Coupe, Sedan 2-doors, and Sedan form. Across those bodies, gasoline engines and rear-wheel drive set the character of everyday driving.
A Chevrolet Deluxe engine of this generation is gasoline-powered, with 3.6 MT examples in the Cabrio and Coupe and a 3.9 AT Cabrio that uses an automatic. Both powertrains use a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, so you either shift yourself or let the transmission take over.
