The 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 'Bombs' Mystery
Steven Caudillo likes to learn: "I have photos of a rare 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Phaeton I am featuring in my 'Bombs' magazine. I can use some help. I have seen a few pictures from the owner of the car, and it is one of 15 built in Switzerland, and his picture has a line up of the 15 cars. This not a conversion. It is #9 off the assembly line. Can anyone share more information?"
Editor: One question, is the Chevy owner you refer to the 'bomb shell' depicted above? We are sure that many of our readers are prepared to help..., but one in particular: Dutch car historian Frans Vrijaldenhoven who wrote about these Chevy conversions. He also may be able to explain a bit about a special feature of this car. The 'No-Knee-Action' suspension... these are not our but GM's words.

because of kind of the tag I'm quite sure that this car was purchased and used by the swiss army. regards Martin.

Quite a nice car.The shape of the trunk points to Gläser.They built a number of phaeton bodies on Chevrolet chassis both Master and Standard.There is one 1936 Standard phaeton in Sweden with Gläser body.Seems as if this car has a very special center pillar support across the back rest of the front seat.

I do recall seeing a Swiss bodied 38 or 39 Closed Chevrolet in São Paulo, Brazil. Not a convertible I recall. It was if I am not mistaken in the collection of Mr. Oh Pozzoli. I could investigate.

In many ways this has the appearance of a 1939 Buick Special Convertible Phaeton body, Model 41-C, being mounted on a Chevrolet Master 85 series chassis. The factory (assembly plant?) would have needed to modify the passenger compartment, doors, and possibly the trunk to accommodate the shorter Chevy chassis. I also noticed that the Chevy windshield has a cut out section surrounding the windshield frame that is not on the Buick. The front fender parking lights look like they are from a 1938 Buick, and I wonder if they are actually leftover 1938 Buick fenders.
In the United States, Buick built Phaetons through the 1941 model year, but Chevrolet stopped building them in 1935.
