Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this
1928 Chevrolet Series AB National. Successor to Chevy's Model AA,
the 1928 AB competed directly with Ford's still-fresh Model A,
which had replaced the long-obsolete Model T one year prior. Though
appearances suggest a folding convertible top, all AB Landau Coupes
utilized fixed roofs, lighting the way for generations of faux
Detroit cabrios. This vintage beauty boasts a striking green and
black exterior that captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties,
making it a head-turner wherever it goes. The car's hood opens on
either side along a central piano hinge, as was almost universal at
the time it was built. Motivation comes from a standard 171ci OHV
four-cylinder developing about 35 hp, netting 55 mph flat-out which
was more than adequate for the primitive, pre-interstate system
roads of 1920s America. Finished to an unusually luxurious standard
for cars of this type and time, the interior is covered in Olive
cord upholstery. A central, oval shaped instrument panel houses
controls for the lights, a rotating drum speedometer, odometer,
trip meter, ammeter, and oil pressure gauge, while shifting of the
standard 3-speed manual transmission is via a floor-mounted lever.
Nearby, the other tall lever controls a handbrake, though our
favorite cabin feature is probably the rubber floor mat and its
interlocking Chevrolet bowtie logo motif. With its four-wheel
brakes (a 1928 first), fully enclosed bodywork, and robust,
knowledgeable enthusiast base, this car serves as a prime example.
