Description
According to records, this car arrived in Sweden by ship in wooden crates as part of the first shipment of Chevrolet vehicles destined for assembly at General Motors’ new facility in Hammarby. Previously, cars intended for the Swedish market were assembled in Copenhagen. Production and assembly at the new plant began in January 1928, and within six months, 10,000 cars had been built. The vehicles came boxed from the USA via cargo ship, with 1,000 workers stationed along the assembly line to put them together. This applied not only to Chevrolet but all brands within the GM group.
This particular car was fully assembled on April 7, 1928, and once again traveled by boat—this time to its first owner, Bror Ericsson of Källunge on Gotland, who acquired the car on April 24 the same year. It had several owners on the island thereafter. During the war, the car was requisitioned by the military and converted into a truck. Eventually, it ended up with the volunteer fire brigade before being taken off the road.
In 1979, the car returned to the mainland and came into the hands of an owner in Sörmland, where it was restored to a passenger car and re-inspected on October 10, 2000. The current owner acquired the car on April 15, 2004. He has maintained and serviced the vehicle over the years and has participated in various meetings and rallies. The car has performed reliably throughout and comes with documentation and history.
Ready for new adventures, this car is now slowly but surely rolling towards its hundred-year anniversary.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Starts easily and runs reliably in the engine and drivetrain. During a short, gentle test drive on gravel roads in Sörmland, the ride was smooth and trouble-free. Steering, handling, clutch, shifting, and brakes all function as intended. There is some oil moisture present in the engine bay.
The car has not been inspected on a lift, but it was easy to check underneath, and everything appeared to be in good condition. -
Interior condition
Nice leather interior with well-maintained door panels. Steering wheel, controls, and instruments are in good condition and fully functional.
-
Exterior condition
Nice paintwork with some patina. Glass, chrome, trim, emblems, and lighting details are all in good condition. The convertible top and frame are in good shape and easy to operate. There are no door panels or windows—they are missing. Good wheels and tires.
-
General condition
A charming and delightful car now approaching its hundred-year anniversary—with dignity and functionality. If you want to “blend quietly into the background,” this is not the car for you. Instead, you’ll attract attention and receive constant thumbs-up, waves, and expressions of joy. Rightly so, as this is a rolling antique with rich brand and Swedish motor history, functioning well to the delight of both owner and onlookers alike.

Facts about the model
Chevrolet – Ett amerikanskt bilmärke med rötter i racing och innovation
Chevrolet grundades 1911 av den schweiziske racerföraren Louis Chevrolet och William C. Durant. Durant hade varit en av grundarna av General Motors tre år tidigare, men hade tvingats lämna dess ledning. Trots detta behöll han kontrollen över märket Buick och dess fabrik i Flint, Michigan. Han anställde Chevrolet som förare och drog nytta av hans namn för att lansera ett nytt bilmärke.
År 1913 presenterades Chevrolets första bilmodell på en bilmässa i New York. Ursprungligen var Louis Chevrolet involverad i designen, men redan 1914 uppstod en konflikt mellan honom och Durant, och Chevrolet sålde sin andel i företaget till Durant. Med framgångarna för det nya märket fick Durant återigen möjlighet att köpa majoriteten av General Motors. Han blev dess VD och införlivade 1918 Chevrolet som en del av GM.
Redan 1912 introducerade Chevrolet en sexcylindrig motor, som skulle bli klassisk. Under årens lopp producerade de allt från familjebilar och sportiga modeller till de karaktäristiska dollargrinarna med fenor samt nyttofordon (trucks). De första lätt lastbilarna, One-Ton-modeller, lanserades vid samgåendet med GM 1918.
Chevrolet anses vara ett av märkena som bidrog till att Ford T-modellen försvann. Chevrolets motsvarande modell var billigare och betydligt snabbare. Den fyracylindriga motorn med toppventiler var modern och pålitlig och användes fram till 1929, då den ersattes av en sexcylindrig motor.
Modellen National med fyracylindrig motor och treväxlad låda tillverkades 1928. Varje årsmodell hade ett eget namn: året innan hette modellen Capitol och året efter International. National och den så kallade A-plattformen erbjöds som tvådörrars coupé och cabriolet, samt fyradörrars sedan och öppen tourer. Totalt byggdes 1 193 212 exemplar av modellen.
