HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A HIGHLY-DESIRABLE FIRST-YEAR EXAMPLE OF CHEVY'S LEGENDARY "STOVEBOTL SIX"!
Mention the year 1929 and most Americans will immediately think what has become known as “The Great Depression”. Certainly one of the darker times of the 20th century for the United States, three days of multi-digit losses on the New York Stock Exchange wiped out $30 billion in value and sent folks into a panic. The catastrophic loss at the time was an amount 10 times greater than the federal budget and ushered in a period of austerity unseen in modern history.
On a brighter side, Chevrolet began the model year with a new platform replacing the previous AB with the new AC, also known as the International. GM design chief Harley Earl drew inspiration from his sensational LaSalle design and created a car that looked much more expensive than it was. Earl retained the chassis from the previous model year and developed a car that was much lower (due mostly to decreasing the tire size from the previous year) and more modern in appearance.
The most notable change in the 1929 model year could be found under the hood. Chevrolet engineers has been tasked with developing a six-cylinder engine that could be produced for virtually the same cost as a four cylinder and introduced the basic engine platform that would be the standard for over a quarter-century. The new 194 cubic inch six-cylinder motor was advertised as “A Six in the Price Range of a Four” and proved to be true, adding only $10 to the vehicle cost and was $100 lower than competing six cylinder vehicles. That engine became known as the “Stovebolt Six” and, with some modifications along the way, was a mainstay in the Chevrolet line until the introduction of the 265 cubic inch V8 in 1955. Also, the 1929 models were the first Chevrolets to have mechanical fuel pumps in place of the problematic vacuum pumps.

NOTICE
Because of the number of vehicles we represent we cannot drive every vehicle for long distances. These vehicles have been part of static displays for long periods of time, in some cases for decades, and are subject to the flaws and imperfections consistent with that. While we do our best to disclose all issues we known about a vehicle in our advertising, these are old cars and something that has always worked in the past might not function properly today. Please check the requirements of your state regarding the licensing and registration of classic vehicles and make sure the vehicle you are looking at meets those if applicable. Unless otherwise noted, all vehicles represented by Evergreen Digital Showroom possess a clean (non-branded) title which will be provided the new buyer when purchase funds clear our financial institution. Virtually all of our vehicles are sold as mileage exempt due to their age. We do not warranty any vehicle, nor any part of the vehicle including air conditioning systems, brake systems, electrical systems and gauges, fuel systems, accessories or powertrain components.
These are old vehicles and it is very common for them to require certain maintenance and upkeep for them to be operational. In many cases issues with leaks may develop when being driven after a long period of not being used. This is common, as classic cars at some point will leak fluids. For this reason, we do not encourage buyers to attempt driving their purchase home as we cannot guarantee functional reliability of these vehicles. We strongly encourage prospective buyers to be sure they are comfortable with these issues before purchasing a classic car.
Descriptions of vehicles represented by Evergreen Digital Showroom are intended to be informational in nature and do not in any way constitute any sort of warranty, expressed or implied. Again, these vehicles are presented “as-is, where-is” without guarantee or warranty. Vehicles manufactured prior to 1981 will likely not be included in the databases of companies such as CarFax and AutoCheck that provide vehicle history information to consumers. If you have specific questions regarding a vehicle we urge you to contact us at 417-532-8000.
