This 1/24 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan was done some years ago by MotorMax. It was quite inexpensive but nicely done and available in several colors. Later, a "dub style" oversized wheel version was also released by them. In the standard 1/24 diecast, the wheels could easily be reversed between the blackwall or whitewall look.

Great photos! I'm so impressed that you got the #5 shot JUST as the supersonic jet came by! Susie there, was too I'll bet.

WOW!  I agree that is a great looking model for the lessor price.  I'd certainly add it to my parking lot.  THANKS for sharing!

@perrone1 I'm guessing Steve Yeager is piloting that plane.

Thanks ! Yep, Yeager is at the controls of the Bell X-1 rocket plane ..... the first plane to officially break the sound barrier in level flight in 1947 ! He called it "Glamorous Glennis" after his wife. After his test pilot days, Chuck Yeager became a Brigadier General in the U.S. Air Force.

I am not sure if either of them drove a 1948 Chevrolet Aerosedan ..... but it was sleek enough to be his ground transportation, lol !

Mike, as always great photos.  I had the JADA version, but got rid of it. Looked to toy like. I may replace it with a Motormax.

The best model of an Aero Sedan is the two tone green model by Danbury Mint...it is fabulous in every way.

Danbury got it right; lots of precise detailing.

The two-tone green fits this Danbury replica perfectly ! This would be a very stylish automobile to drive around in back in 1948.

1949 would then see many American automobiles debut a modern "re-style" for that year. But the years right after World War Two's restrictions still featured many attractive vehicles, in my view.
