Re: Where Have All of The Chevrolets Gone?
Having experience with 1935 and 1937 Chevys, the knee action front suspension sent many many Chevys to the junk yard prematurely. Next came the vacuum shift which sent more Chevys to the junk yard. Cost of ownership for a Chevy was not good during the 1930s.

Re: Where Have All of The Chevrolets Gone?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally like the '34 and the '36 Chevy coupe styles very much and think they are beautiful. But that may have something to do with riding in a '36 with my mom and her friend where my "seat" was laying on the package shelf behind the front seat.
Then when about 14 yrs old I had a '34 coupe with a cracked block. Loved the car but never got it running. Point is, we all tend to love the cars we grew up with or our parents owned. Nostalgia influences our ideas on what is beautiful or not. Opposite is when you had a bad experience with a particular car, hate it and never want to see one again. Glen

Re: Where Have All of The Chevrolets Gone?
My first car was a 1933 Chev bought in 1967.
Never had axle problem and drove well. My picture shows me with the car. Marc Last edited by marc hildebrant; 05-18-2018 at 08:58 PM. |

Re: Where Have All of The Chevrolets Gone?
nice looking car, they were very good cars. There were still some around when I grew up. I never had a 33. But I had a 29 pickup, 31 coupe, and a 32 coupe.

Several Chevrolet's for me. 50 5 window pickup, 50 4 door fast back, 65 impala (2 door and convertible) not Chev but GM product 67 GTO. Wish I still had them seeing the price they bring. Too bad the 65's and 67 didn't have matching numbers.

Re: Where Have All of The Chevrolets Gone?
I was driving on 128 in Massachusetts with my 1933 chev, when a Model A challenged me to see who had the highest speed. I passed the Model A when he max out at 60 mph.
Oh to be young again! Marc |
