Chevrolet photos wanted

[motto (RIP)]

Looking good Lang.
You shouldn't have much trouble selling it. It will be a very practical runabout MV.

Thanks Dave

I forgot to mention the other mod of 3 point seatbelts. The cook is very unhappy traveling in a vehicle without them after seeing the girl who was thrown through the windscreen of a jeep and badly smashed up in a very low-speed accident about 10 years ago on the way home from Corowa.

Even my jeep has lap belts but all the others have a full retractable harness.

Hi, not sure what this is, but was just posted on the HCVC (Historic Commercial Vehicle Club) Aust. Sitting somewhere in NSW.

Good find.

Interesting that the American body has a solid roof while the Australian body has the insert style. I never knew that before.

Even in USA Chevrolet was the only one to have the solid roof. The Dodge and Ford equivalent had fabric inserts like that Australian body in the photo.

I read somewhere that General Motors were blowing their trumpet in the mid-thirties because they were the only ones who had presses capable of stamping out an entire one-piece steel roof for cars.

Found this RCAF "Truck - panel Chevrolet" while looking for something else.

Dated 23 Sept. 1939
