Luke brought this car to Flint for the Chevy 100 and VCCA 50th. He gave rides around the hotel to anyone who wanted one! Nice guy. I also had the oportunity to drive a 1918 Chummy Last fall at the Newport Hill Climb which is very similar to this one. It has 2 doors and the rear seat passengers have to enter the rear seat through the gap in the front seat. It also has the V8 and Luke is right, very comfortable to sit in and a dream to drive!
28 Chevy LO Capitol 1 ton, 28 National 2 dr coach, 71 Chevy Custom Camper 3/4 ton. Also 23 Oldsmobile Economy truck and a 24 Olds sport touring.

I've watched this video several times now wishing I was in the driver's seat. I never heard how it did in the Great Race. Anybody know?

Hi CORetiree,
I dont think the Great Race actually happened. If I am correct it ended up being a much much smaller event.
But, I could be wrong.
Cheers

Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great" I have documented my 45 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2018, and regulary add other items that I hope are of interest to others. Your comments are most welcome.The story of the Red Chev can be viewed at http://my28chev.blogspot.com/
