1920s Chevrolet Race Car Project

1920s Chevrolet Race Car Project

This Chevrolet race car, believed to have been built in the late 1920s, participated in races in Portland, Oregon, during the 1930s. It features a 171ci inline-four engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission, though it's currently a non-running project. Notable features include an orange finish with period-style sponsor decals, rear drum brakes, and a single-seat cockpit trimmed in tan leather. The vehicle sits on painted Buffalo wire wheels with 20-inch Coker tires.
