Vehicle Description
1925 Chevrolet K Series 2 Door Sedan
The Chevrolet Superior was a series of early cars introduced for
the 1923 model year. The Superior was offered in a wide range of
body styles, including roadster, sedan, truck, and tourer. Each
year's variant was designated by a letter, such as the 1924
Superior 'F'. As well as completed models, the Superior was also
sold as a bare chassis. Regardless of the configuration, all
Superior variants were fitted with a 2.8L inline four engine.
Production of the Chevrolet Superior ended in 1926, and the model
was replaced by the Chevrolet Series AA Capitol. Thx to

For consignment, a survivor in unrestored condition but looking
remarkably well for a 99 year old. More than 400,000 Chevrolets
were built in 1925 and to find one that is in presentable and
restorable condition is rare indeed.

Exterior
Dark blue paint is enhanced by a red pinstripe that encircles the
entire shoulder line of the car. Black fenders flank wide running
boards and dome housed headlights are mounted on the fronts. Other
than a missing radiator cap, all external pieces are in place on
this car including a visor. 21-inch wooden spoked wheels support
the car and represent a vestigial feature of horse drawn carriages.
The paint is checked and scratched fairly substantially when viewed
up close but no major areas of rust are noted.
Interior
Simple gray tweed door panels greet occupants as they enter. The
same material is found on the simple bucket front seats as well as
the rear bench and side walls and headliner, all in excellent
condition. A beautiful four spoke wood steering wheel greets the
driver who has just a few gauges in the center of the black painted
metal dash. A long floor mounted shifter is flanked by a polished
handbrake and bare metal pedals are surrounded by the gray carpet
mat that covers the floor.
Drivetrain
A 171ci inline four is behind the engine covers and looks clean and
tidy and looking original. It is fed by a side mounted 1-barrel
carburetor and is attached to a 3-speed manual transmission sending
26 horses to the rear wheels via 3.82 gears. Mechanical drum brakes
are found on the rear axle only.
Undercarriage
Fantastically clean underneath with minor occurrences of surface
rust but overall, in excellent condition. We note some fluid on the
transmission bottom and oil pan but really, for a 99 year old, no
complaints. These cars utilized leaf springs front and rear,
another holdover from carriages. The single exhaust flows straight
into a muffler then dumps underneath the car.
This is a fine antique find that only needs a bit of TLC to bring
it up to show quality. Wouldn't it be fantastic if every Chevy
dealership in the country had one of these in the showroom to
demonstrate the company's early roots and innovation? It's a living
example of what's changed in 100 years, and what things have stayed
virtually the same.
