nzcarnerd Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Looks odd at first glance but I think it is either a 1929 or 1930 Chevrolet - with some modifications. Some kind of grille guard?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 29 Chev, the only year with the full apron between the frame horns. Horns, rad shell and radiator not original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 I suppose I should have asked the question - what is the radiator shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radiator shell itself is 1929 Chevrolet. The insert on it is an addition that did not go with the car, originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I believe a 1930 had the same apron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The only difference I know of between the 29 and 30 Chevy is the fuel gauge. On the tank near the filler on the 29, on the dashboard on the 30. You can't tell unless you see it in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hubcaps, but they are pretty interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 60 Years of Chevrolet says the '30 had: first time use of hydraulic shock absorbers; slant windshield on all models; electric fuel gauge as said above; tire size reduced from 20" to 19"x4.75. New models were added too. In 1929 the engine was rated at 46 bhp at 2600 rpm while in 1930 it was rated at 50 bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I believe the instrument panel is different as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don't think the 30 was much of an improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
