TheChevrolet Stylemaster is an automobile produced byChevrolet in theUnited States for the 1946, 1947 and 1948 model years.[1]
The Series DJ Stylemaster was introduced as the base trim level model in the 1946 Chevrolet range, along with the top level Series DKChevrolet Fleetmaster.[1] The Stylemaster, which was essentially an updated 1942 Chevrolet Master Deluxe,[1] was powered by a 216.5 cu in (3.5 L)Straight-six engine driving through a 3-speedmanual transmission.[1] It was offered in 2-door Town Sedan, 4-door Sport Sedan, 2-door Business Coupe and 2-door 5-Passenger Coupe models,[4] the Business Coupe differing from the 5-Passenger Coupe in having a front seat only.[1]
The 1947 Series 1500 EJ Stylemaster was little changed from its predecessor, the most notable visual difference being a new radiator grille with a more horizontal theme.[1]
The 1948 Series 1500 FJ Stylemaster was again little changed from the previous year.[1] There were no significant body alterations, however the radiator grille featured a vertical centre bar.[1] A Club Coupe was now offered[5] replacing the 5-Passenger Coupe of 1947.[6]

For the 1949 model year the Stylemaster was replaced by the 1500 GJ Series Chevrolet Special, offered in Styleline and Fleetline sub-series.[1]
The Chevrolet Stylemaster was also produced byHolden in Australia.[2] As Holden had carried over the body tooling from its 1942 models, the Australian sedan differed from its US counterpart in having a different body with rear-hinged back doors and a larger trunk.[7] The grilles fitted to the Australian models were the same as those used on the US models.[8] Australian production included acoupe utility, which was, like the sedan, produced in 1946, 1947 and 1948 models.[2]
