By the early 1920s, Chevrolet had established itself as an excellent automaker that offered reliability and durability in the same package. By January 1930, Chevrolet introduced its new line of cars along with several innovations, which were joined by additional engine improvements in November. In fact, the eight millionth Chevrolet was produced on 25 August 1931.
This particular Chevy is an unusual Canadian-built example and is loaded with features and options seldom found on most Coaches. It has dual fender-mount spare wheels with correct Chevrolet mirrors, front and rear bumpers, dual taillights, a trunk rack with trunk, a grille guard, a flying eagle mascot, and more. The car presents very well, with grey upholstery, Chevrolet rubber mats, high-quality paint and body, and an engine compartment that requires little effort to shine again. The two-tone body is finished in dark blue with black fenders and black top. The body is elegantly offset by subtle yellow pinstriping that runs the length of the beltline, along the bottom of the body, as well as around the windows and roofline. The delicate color is carried through to the light yellow wire wheels, which are shod in elegant whitewall tires. The coach continues to present nicely throughout and appears to have been well-maintained since being restored.
Chevrolets were known for quality, and this example will be a pleasant investment for one wishing to show or tour in a classic motor car that the whole family can enjoy.
