1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster | Baldock, Hertfordshire

A 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster, a mid-range American car from the first post-war years of production. The Fleetmaster is known for rounded bodywork and bright chrome trim, and the range stretched from saloons and coupes to convertibles and timber-bodied wagons. This car is black with a cream interior, a pairing that reads cleanly against both period and modern backdrops. It has a 3.5-litre petrol engine and seats four. It is left-hand drive, which gives it an American look on screen: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side. Black paintwork shows off the model's chrome trim for photography, fashion and editorial shoots, and the cream interior gives a bright setting for people in shot. Film, TV and music video productions set in the 1940s or 1950s get a period shape that does the scene-setting. Events, weddings and personal hires suit its formal look. The car is based in Baldock, Hertfordshire.
