Vehicle Description
General Motors' volume brand had been working towards taking the
Ford Motor Company's best-selling crown for almost two decades, and
with Ford's four-cylinder Model A aging and its yet-to-be-proven
V-8 still in the wings, the six-cylinder-powered Chevrolet stepped
in as one of the most popular cars in America in 1930 thru 1932.
Chevrolet also differed from Ford in the way its bodies were built;
while Ford's bodies were constructed primarily of steel, Chevrolet
car bodies used a large proportion of wood in their "composite
body" construction. Their advertising heralded this: "This is not
only the strongest, safest, most durable type known, but it is
exactly the same type used in the highest-priced cars. A framework
of selected hardwood is fortified at all points of stress by
staunch steel bracing. Over this strong framework are mounted
sturdy steel panels, so that the wood reinforces the steel and the
steel reinforces the wood." Chevrolet began selling the
six-cylinder engine--commonly called the 'Stovebolt Six', and
affectionately, 'Cast-Iron Wonder'--in 1929. "They made minor
improvements to it over the next few years. It performed much
better than its four-cylinder rivals, and inspired the slogan, 'Get
a Six for the price of a Four.' That inline-six integral to
Chevrolet's identity was an advanced overhead-valve design,
debuting at a time when flatheads ruled. With a Carter one-barrel
updraft carburetor to increase performance in both horsepower and
torque specs. Per the previous owner this '30 Chevy 3 Window was
subject to a frame off restoration and features a new oak wood body
and is finished in a timeless dark green paint with painted black
fenders. The interior is a very clean Lebaron Bonney interior.
