The Chevrolet Stylemaster was produced in the United States from 1946 to 1948 and available in two-door sedan, coupe and sedan delivery bodies, and as a four-door sedan. It was also made as a two-door coupe utility in Australia only. The American DJ Stylemaster of 1946 was essentially an updated 1942 Chevrolet Master Deluxe powered by a 216.5 cu in (3.5 litre) straight-six engine driving through a three-speed manual transmission. 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. The 1948 Series 1500 FJ Stylemaster was again virtually unchanged from the previous year, though this time the grille featured a vertical bar design. A Club Coupe was also now offered, replacing the five-passenger Coupe of 1947. For the 1949 model year the Stylemaster was replaced by the 1500 GJ Series Chevrolet Special, offered in Styleline and Fleetline sub-series.
