Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1928 Chevrolet Series AB National. Successor to Chevy's Model AA, the 1928 AB competed directly with Ford's still-fresh Model A, which had replaced the long-obsolete Model T one year prior. Though appearances suggest a folding convertible top, all AB Landau Coupes utilized fixed roofs, lighting the way for generations of faux Detroit cabrios. This vintage beauty boasts a striking green and black exterior that captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, making it a head-turner wherever it goes. The car's hood opens on either side along a central piano hinge, as was almost universal at the time it was built. Motivation comes from a standard 171ci OHV four-cylinder developing about 35 hp, netting 55 mph flat-out which was more than adequate for the primitive, pre-interstate system roads of 1920s America. Finished to an unusually luxurious standard for cars of this type and time, the interior is covered in Olive cord upholstery. A central, oval shaped instrument panel houses controls for the lights, a rotating drum speedometer, odometer, trip meter, ammeter, and oil pressure gauge, while shifting of the standard 3-speed manual transmission is via a floor-mounted lever. Nearby, the other tall lever controls a handbrake, though our favorite cabin feature is probably the rubber floor mat and its interlocking Chevrolet bowtie logo motif. With its four-wheel brakes (a 1928 first), fully enclosed bodywork, and robust, knowledgeable enthusiast base, this car serves as a prime example.
