Guest Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 This is purported to be a 1929 Chevrolet from e bay in the UK. Why does it have a Pontiac rear window. Any and all speculation and comment is appreciated. Beautiful car by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Here is another with the rear window shade partially down, but you can just see the curve of the oval rear window.

nzcarnerd Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 My copy of The History of Holden by Norm Darwin (1975) makes no mention of an oval rear window but it does say that the 1929 sedan bodies were 'much revised' from 1928. It was Holden's first volume produced closed sedan body. Mention is made of the curved upper edges of the windows and that they didn't have the third window along the side, that the Fisher cars had. The Touring Sedan had a side mounted spare whereas the other models used a rear mounted spare. Holden built 2404 of these sedans and 3834 touring bodies. There were also 50 Landau Sedans, 158 standard coupes, 620' Sports Deluxe' roadsters and 513 standard roadsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
