I was posting about pre-41s.
The 1941 Special Deluxe Coupe is by far the mostest best looking car ever made bar none. There was no way to improve upon the looks of that car. Chevrolet nailed it that year.
The only improvement Chevrolet could have done was to make the grille and accessory washboards out of cast metal instead of formed/stamped steel. It's hard to improve on perfection. Is too.
If you wonder what the next best looking Chevrolet ever was: The 1950 Bel-Air. The outside sunscreen didn't hurt the looks a bit.
Of course the above are just my opinions but I have yet heard anyone with a whit of art ingrained in their soul make a good, sound argument that I'm wrong. It is what it is.
The 1937/38 coupes were nice looking cars but a far distant cousens to the 41 SD coupe. It's just the way it is. No brag just a fact.
47/48 Aerosedans looked pretty good. Especially with the wood. 41 SD coupes didn't need any stinkin wood slapped on to improve their looks.
The Chevrolet that missed the mark, in my opinion (sorry, Gene) was the 1939.
The 1949-1952 coupes were downright in need of help. Especially, without the fender skirts.
If there is anyone who disagrees with me on the above let him step forward and be heard. Caution: Just because you own a certain Chevrolet doesn't mean it is a nice looking car. Especially those with a outside sunshade.

BTW: It was not my intent to rain on anyone's parade but... You know.
I do not expect any feedback on my opinion. As usual, it is compellingly convincing.
