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.
