What is a "flat" 41 Chevy?
 
There is a deep cut ZZ Top song called "Chevrolet" where the lyrics make reference to a "flat 41." Does anyone know what this means?

Maybe a flat head engine?

No flathead Chevy engines in 1941, only the OHV stove bolt six.
I haven't heard the term before but my guess is it's a reference to a customized car, one that may have been lowered or chopped.

Low tire??? LOL

My guess would be chopped.

This makes the most sense to me.

Chopped, channeled and body dropped.

Agreed, and while not their best album 'Just Got Paid' led me to blister speakers.

Album version FTW - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtYhGFKIKvA&t=170s

Yeah ZZ Top is unreal. I think maybe the greatest American band.

Maybe it went through a car crusher?
