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 August 25, 1931. Chevrolets were known for quality, and this example will be a proper investment for one wishing to show or tour in a motorcar that the whole family can enjoy.

This is a delightful example of the popular Series AE Chevrolet Independence. It is being offered by its fourth owner. It was built at the Oakland, California plant and spent its next 81-years in Marin County, California with three different owners in the same vicinity. It is powered by a 194-cid, 50-hp inline six-cylinder engine that is mated to a floor-mounted three-speed manual transmission. Presented in Coffee Cream and Fawn Brown, with tasteful Swamp Holley Orange accents that are authentic colors, the Chevy is freshly frame-off restored and ready to show or tour. The colors and style of presentation are done accordingly with approved Chevrolet schematics. The engine and frame are presented in Chevrolet Blue. The interior and top are from LeBaron Bonney using the original Chevrolet patterns. The chrome trim was redone by Ogden Chrome in Utah, one of the best sources in the country. The restoration was completed earlier in 2014 and was professionally executed by Kultured Custom Restorations in Gardner, Kansas at a cost in excess of $80,000.

Equipment found on the Independence includes dual side-mounted spares with pedestal mirrors and cloth covers, radiator stoneguard, radiator mascot, cowllights, luggage rack, dual taillights, fold-down windshield, landau bars and the whitewall tires are Goodyears with the diamond tread pattern, just as when new. The rumbleseat doubles the seating capacity and adds to the enjoyment you can experience with the car.
