Me and my '29 Chevy 2-dr Coach on July 4th 1967. I had just returned from an antique car show with my first trophy. My dad bought the car for us when I was 15, I'm 16 in the pic. The coach was all original except for the paint and tires. The odometer showed a little over 20K and I added another 10K during my 3 years of high school. Replaced 2 rear axles (see note at bottom)
one leaf spring, one tail pipe and relined the brakes. "Great" car and I have another one pretty much just like it, original unrestored, runs great, today.
My '29 coach, the one while in high school, had the rare optional wooden artillery wheels. While the one I have now has the stock steel disc wheels.
Note: The rear end under the 6-cylinder '29 Chevy was the same as the 1925 to '28
4-cylinder Chevrolet. From 1930 on up the axles steadily
improved. And, yes you can get replacement axles for the old Chevy's
from a retired NASA engineer/machinist in Calf.
