Chevrolet for 1929 was a real break through in both styling and engine-enter the new Chevrolet Stove Bolt 6 cylinder engine which was the basis for power in Chevrolet cars through 1954. One of my uncles, Charlie O’Connor of Enid, Oklahoma bought one of these beauties-an all black coupe!!! I don’t know why, but he always preferred the color black!! Perhaps it was because of black Friday and the stock markert crash of 1929!! He was a banker in Enid,Oklahoma that hung on until 1932 before the bank crashed. I am sure it was a tough business period from 1929 until 1932. This car served him very well until he traded it for a new 1936 Standard Chevrolet coupe. If you will check out my story about a 1936 Chevrolet coupe included in this website, you will be surprised at the durability of that engine and auto in total.
