"Pre-war representative with a rare high-quality renovation history and well-preserved after completion nearly 40 years ago."

Description

t was delivered new by Oslo Motorsenter in 1931, or at least in the early thirties. The exact time when the car arrived in Sweden is unknown, but it was first registered in Sweden in June 1973 after Nils from Olofström (a recognized renovation authority in the circles of pre-war cars) saw a feature in the then GM-Review about the Chevy being for sale at a BP gas station by Storsjön outside Östersund. He brought the car back to Blekinge and renovated it from the ground up over just over ten years. It was completed in 1985, and in 20 years, he managed to drive a total of 45 bridal couples in the car. Sandahls bought it for their collection in 2005. With the help of the National Archives, it is possible to find out even more about the car's history and find old documents. Unfortunately, there are no documents or records with the owner. At the time of the car's registration, the rule was that vehicles older than 1951 were exempt from inspection.

Today, Sandahls is one of Sweden's largest family-owned transport conglomerates. The company was founded in Värnamo in 1949. Older generations have in their private museum collected around forty cars under different themes for many years. Bilweb Auctions AB has now been commissioned to sell these in four rounds in February and March this year.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine and drivetrain were thoroughly renovated during the same period as the rest of the car, between 1975 and 1985. It is probably not started since 2005, but it has a new battery, and the engine turnes over easily and freely when we tried.

  • Interior condition:

    Fluffy leather sofas of substantial quality, fine details and instruments, along with a distinct wooden steering wheel made for gripping when speeding along the countryside roads.

  • Exterior condition:

    Beautiful olive green paint in two tones separated by a neat pinstripe along with black-painted fenders. Matching nice wheels with good tires and white sidewalls, albeit a bit older, of course. The soft top is easy and logical to fold up and down even for a novice, and it is intact and clean with fine painted wooden slats. Some white moisture stains are visible on the inside of the soft top, which are easy to wash off. The car has a beautiful and well-crafted exterior that has retained its fine finish over the years after the renovation.

  • General condition:

    Skillfully and meticulously renovated nearly 40 years ago, and to say the least, well-preserved. A worthy and beautiful representative of the 1920s Chevrolet cars.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
