Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1928 Chevrolet Model AB
two-door sedan. This was the first model to offer four-wheel
brakes. Other improvements included an engine thermostat, indirect
instrument lighting and Alemite fittings to ease chassis
lubrication. Fitted in a two-tone green and black exterior with
pinstriping and a green patterned cloth interior, this car has been
lovingly restored, including its paint, chrome and interior. The
paint is in very good order, as is most of the glass, although the
rear side window on the driver's side has a blemish at the top. Car
only comes with a driver's side windshield wiper tucker under its
windshield visor. Most of the lights are in good shape but the
rear-mounted center high stoplight has a cracked lens and the car
has cowl lights to supplement the headlamps. The car rides on
natural-toned wood wheels with spokes, surrounded by four-ply
tires, size 4.50-21, and there is a spare mounted in the rear. All
of the body panels are straight, including the rubberized fabric
roof and runningboards plus the bumpers are in good order. The AB's
new look was one of the first projects from GM's Art & Colour
studio and followed its creation of the 1927 LaSalle. Compared to
the 1927 Chevy, the 1928 National displayed a longer and straighter
hood, flowing fender lines, lower profile and smoothly integrated
body panels. That longer hood was no styling frivolity; it was
necessary to accommodate the six-cylinder�engine�that was on the
horizon. Under the vee-shaped hood is a 171 CID inline
four-cylinder, nicknamed the "Stovebolt Four." This was its swan
song year and for its final run, it received higher compression,
larger valves, aluminum pistons and a revised carburetor. It is
linked to a three-speed manual transmission. Inside, the restored,
patterned green cloth is eye-catching and the front, split bench
seats are in very good condition. The corresponding carpet is in
good shape, while the headliner, dashboard and four-spoke,
wood-rimmed steering wheel and Moto Meter gauges are all in very
good order. The matching door panels are in good order, as is the
rearview mirror and gear shift lever. More than three-quarters of a
million Series ABs were manufactured in a variety of body styles.
Looking very similar to the 1927 Series AA Capitol, the wheelbase
of the Series AB was increased by four inches to 107�inches. The
updated look was one of the first projects from GM's Art & Colour
studio. This car is ideal for taking the grandchildren out for ice
cream, a picnic in the park or just over the river and through the
woods! Competition to this Chevy in 1928 included Ford's Model A
and Plymouth's Model Q. This car is currently located at our
facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer
shows 60,227 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and
clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Please click here
