VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 1933 Chevy value

Went to look at a 1933 Chevy 4 door sedan today.
Metal good. Glass good. Interior so-so.
Battery dead so couldn't start it.
Assuming it runs, I was curious about what these go for. I'm a Model A guy so Chevy's are out of my realm.

Do you know what these numbers mean?
Job 33-559
Body T20248
Trim #25
Paint 132

Thanks

Welcome to the club. Where in nj are you? I have two 33s. A 4 dr sedan had for 34 years and a phaeton i am working on. Need more details to assess value but figure fully restored a sedan would top out in the low to mid $20k range

I'm in the Paramus area, North Jersey.

This car is not restored. Infact, other than what appears to have been a paint job, it looks to be mostly original.
Boring black unfortunately, Interior has some rough spots.
Hasn't been driven or started on 2 years.
The metal looks pretty good.
Can I post pictures on this site?

Another area that needs serious assessment is the body wood. I am not sure when Ford went all steel so this is often overlooked by Ford and Mopar folks who are looking at Early thirties GM cars for the first time.
Being able to move doors vertically or doors that sag a great deal when opened may be a bad sign.
I would give careful attention this, ask the owner about his assessment of the wood.
Good sheet metal alignment, solid sound when closing doors, good alignment of doors open and closed is a good sign.
Hope this helps and welcome to the world of old Chevies!
