1936 Chevrolet

Photos, descriptions and specifications of 1936 Chevrolet cars and trucks.

1936 Chevrolet

For Chevrolet, 1936 was a pivotal year, in addition to receiving new styling, with a couple of visual cues taken right from Cadillac, customers drawn to the Chevy agency often came away so impressed, they were driving a new car home. Dependable hydraulic brakes came standard this year, and for the first time the same engine was used for all models. Another innovation was the adoption of the Fisher body "Turret Top" styling, using all-steel body construction where wood had previously been employed. Buyers flocked to the showroom in record numbers as America's economy was starting to rebound, making Chevrolet number one in sales for the first time, outdoing Ford, which it would continue to do up to 1957 and in most years afterwards. Among the many styling touches that helped fuel the switch to top-seller, were the all-chromed headlight bullets, attractive use of chrome on the hood-side panels, and stylish stamped steel simulated spoke wheels.
