Hi all.
First time post. Since the forum will not let me use the search button, I will ask...
I know a lot more about the Fords of the era, and that is not much. ha ha. I have been more of a 50's and 60's guy, but as I get older, these pre-war cars are catching my eye.
I saw a 1926 Chevy 4-door for sale near me for $8k. Sharp little car. If I were to look at it, what mechanical or structural issues and deal-breakers should I look for? What areas are common problems? What things should I look for that would make you walk away from a 1926 Sedan?
thanks!

The most critical condition to me would be the condition of the wood. I would check the opening and closing the doors for sag or misfit. Crawl under and use your knife to test the condition of the wood used in the main sils. Most problems in the drive train are relatively easy to fix. How about the interior condition? Headliner, door panels, general condition? The 26 is a good car, just make sure you are not buying a money hole.
