Vehicle Description
1929 Chevrolet AC International Coupe. As a Ford owner I find it
odd that I have recently acquired an all original 1929 Chevrolet
Coupe complete with an open air 'Rumble' seat in the rear. Instead
of having a four cylinder engine found in most other cars of that
day, the 29 Chevy had a 'Stove Bolt' straight-six that was
advertised as 'a SIX for the price of a four'. When Ford shut down
production of the Model T in 1927, for the first time in history
Chevy briefly outsold Ford. In 1929 this car's stylish looks and
bigger engine outsold Ford's new A Model head to head and helped
Chevy overtake Ford's massive lead as the top selling vehicle in
1929. The lead changed back and forth for awhile but Chevy
eventually held on to the top spot and it was not until the mid
eighties that Ford re-gained that title with the sucess of the
Tarus and F150. Instead of techinical inovation and producing the
same body style every year, Chevy used less inovation and
consentrated on color and body style. In the mid 20's they
introduced the annual model change. This 1929 'AC International'
series/model replaced the former 1928 AB National series costing
the consumer a mere $10.00 more than it's 1928 predicssor (that
featured only a four). This car was powered by a newly designed 194
cubic inch (3,180 cc) straight-six engine that produced an
'amazing' 46 hp @ 2,400 rpms that in constantly improved versions
continued in production well into the mid 1950's. Also amazing is
how the original interior in this car has lasted for 88+ years
considering the fabrics of that day and time were not synthtic. So
. . I guess bottom line is: Own your own piece of automotive
history by purchasing this original 1929 Chevy Coupe! -Vehicle is
