I have a 36 Chev Coupe that has the quarter windows. How can I tell whether this car is a Standard or Deluxe. This is my first Chevy. also I read in the shop Manual that the standard and deluxe have two different transmissions, does one have syncro and other not. Thanks for helping.

All business coupes have 5 windows-Master or Standard.The Master has three dials if front of the driver on the dash-the Standard has two.The Master had a 3 window rumble seat coupe.The only thing that was used in both a 1936 Master and Standard was the engine.The Master had a version of the first syncromesh trans. that was introduced in 1932.The Standard had a lighter non-syncro trans-used in 1933-36 Standards with minor changes.The Standard mechanical parts were of "lighter construction" for the most part.1937s have an all new trans. for all models-was used up into the 60s with some changes.

The Standard transmission was a constant mesh trans.-It dosen't need to be double clutched but just shifted slowly.Also has a lot of problems with worn shifter forks etc.-which fit '36 Stds. only. Gene
