VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 Picked up my "New" 1926 Chevrolet Superior, with Pictures

Thank you! I might need some help in the future, I appreciate the pictures, your Superior is beautiful!

I am having a REALLY difficult time finding more information on these cars.. not many of them around I guess.. I thought I saw one on the Netflix show “Damnation” but I can’t confirm it..

Try to find a November 2013 G&D. If you can't find one let me know and we will find some other way to get the information to you.

What is a G&D?

Arnold it is the VCCA's monthly magazine. (Generator & Distributor)

The engine looks exactly like the one in my 1926 roaster.

I was going over the threads on this posting and although the engine is clearly 1926, with the tag indicating Superior K, there seemed to be some thought that the car had received an engine transplant. Usually I can reasonably guesstimate whether the car is a 25 or 26 by looking under the hood. If you have a hole in the fire wall where the horn would be mounted, it is likely an early 25. They apparently moved the horn to the engine in late 25 so that is not a for sure of it being 25. The headlights being mounted into the front fenders instead of on the bar would be another indication it was a K. They too were moved in late 25.
I assume the radiator might have been changed so the bottom outlet was on the opposite side to 25 as the generator went from the right side to the left in 26. If it had an original Harrison radiator, the tag on the engine side right top usually carries the YOM.
Have fun...……….Joe.
