The Chevrolet Stylemaster Series DJ was an upper middle class passenger car manufactured by Chevrolet in model year 1946 as an entry-level model and successor to the pre-war Master Deluxe model. Essentially, the vehicles were technically and in style their pre-war counterparts. In 1947 the series was called 1500EJ , in 1948 1500 FJ .
The cars were equipped with an overhead-line six-cylinder engine of 3,548 cm 3 capacity a power of 90 HP (66 kW) at 3300 min -1 scooped. The engine power was passed on to the rear wheels via a fully synchronized, manual three-speed gearbox with steering wheel shift.
Four body styles were available: a two-door business coupe with two seats, two-door sports coupe with five seats and two sedans with two or four doors and six seats each.
In 1947 there was a slightly modified grille. In 1948 this was changed again by inserting a chrome-plated T; In addition, the windows had frames made of black rubber and the type designation Stylemaster appeared in the rear area of the alligator bonnet on both sides.
The following year the Special Series 1500GJ replaced the Stylemaster. 459,228 copies were made in three years.
