Chevrolet introduced the 1930 Chevrolet Roadster model with the goal of enfusing it amidst the contemporary American culture to ensure its longevity and public appeal. They were more or less successful in reaching that goal , mainly because of the car’s impressive reliability features and durability.The car’s road worthiness and durability is as impressive today as it was back when the cars were new.

The wide spread appeal of this vintage car can be easily derived from the features that it boasted of, such as:

* Flexible six-cylinder engines

* Synchromesh transmission

* Four-wheel mechanical brakes

* Free-wheeling

* A counter-balanced crankshaft to dampen vibration

* A downdraft carburetor for better engine

* Frame braced with five cross-members to increase

chassis strength

* Attractive feature styling
