1947 Chevrolet Fleetliner Sedan Front Interior View
Though quite cozy, the interior is comfortable. POSIES laid out the design with extended seat time in mind as well as occupant safety. A 10-point rollcage is an integral part of the car's chassis design and provides a large amount of rigidity that works in conjunction with the chassis and suspension design to improve the Fleetliner's impressive handling.

Get a load of those framerails. Though the Fleetliner was designed and built as a no-frills hot rod, POSIES' signature attention to detail and artistic design are visible everywhere you look.

POSIES' Fleetliner, like all of the statements that roll out of his shop (and his eclectic imagination), stir a mixture of adulation and debate-further reinforcing POSIES' belief that the only rule of street rodding is that there are really no rules. And it's an outlook like his that keeps our hobby fresh and ideas flowing. Lord knows, there's more to life than red Deuce roadsters.
