Hi All,
. I don’t know how to post photos on this site, so I have sent private emails to those who replied.
They contain the photos that I refer to.
Send me your email address if you would like the photos that go with this reply.
Hi Chris,
. Thank you for all the useful information.
Here is the Data sheet from parts book. .
There are some errors so I don’t take everything as Gospel.
For example, note that the 1921 model “G” is listed as having a 5¼” stroke.
It is supposed to be 4” stroke.
. For 1923 Superior in the line that shows "type of car", it lists Touring, Roadster, Sedan, Sedanette (Coach), Coupe,
Com. Chas. (Pictured below), Light Del. (Pictured below that) Tour. Chas. (?), Util. Exp. (One ton model B Chas.).
Note the gas tank location and flat face cowl.
.
This is an old ad.
. So what the heck is a "Tour. Chas."?
It weighs 10 pounds less than a Commercial Chassis, but has no list price.
Could Chevy have removed a couple of leaves from the rear springs?
Would it have a touring cowl and passenger gas tank?
Below is another ad for a 1923 Superior Light Delivery.
It has a touring cowl and windshield.
The E-brake is behind the gear shift and not the center pedal.
It says Superior but looks like a 490 to me.
.
The price of $510 would correspond to a 1923 light delivery.
The 1924 light delivery only costs $495.
Back to the identification of a 1924 model "B".
I know that a 1923 “B” has a dipped axle and a 1924 “F” has a straight axle.
What does a 1924 “B” have?
Where does the 24 “B” have the oil pump?
Does the 1924 “B” have cable or rod brakes?
One of my 23’s has the horn button to the right side under the Spark lever.
It does not have a hollow steering shaft.
. Is your late 23 touring a “B” or “F”?
I realize the ID tag could be in many places.
On the floor where the driver steps upon entry has got to be the worst.
. Are your running boards wood or metal?
Are they covered in rubber, linoleum, painted or left natural?
Are your floor boards covered in carpet, rubber, linoleum, painted or left natural?
Would these be different in a closed or commercial car?
Do you recognize the carb?
. I realize there is a large crack in it.
What would I ask for?
. I know that bumpers were optional in 1923.
Would this be the correct optional bumper from Chevrolet?
. I have a lot of information about the Copper Cooled which I will share when
I learn how to insert photos on the VCCA chat forum. I only wish to open one
can of worms at a time.
. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge, . . . Lou .
