Chevrolet introduced the 1930 Chevrolet Roadster model with the goal of infusing 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
1930 Chevrolet Roadster 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
The Roadster’s approximate technical specifications include:
Base weight: 2,410 lbs.
Body: Steel panels over steel frame
Frame: Pressed steel frame with five cross-members
Wheelbase: 109 inches
Length: 164 inches
Width: 66 ½ inches
Height: 70 inches
The Roadster also saw the introduction of the Chevrolet “Owner’s Service Policy,” something we now know as a warranty. A free inspection and adjustment was available at 500 miles, with regular free inspections every 1,000 miles.

Chevrolet, one of the most popular General Motors marques, was founded by race car driver and enthusiast Louis Chevrolet and automotive legend William C. Durant.
Chevrolet entered the automobile market with the sole target of competing against the Ford’s Model T car. But with time, it certainly became a worthy challenger to the Ford’s traditionalism and established a stronghold in the automotive market by consistently producing cars worthy of its name – cars of power, speed, stability, appearance and price that would outclass any other car in its class.
In 1925 the “Superior” series were developed and commercialized by the Chevrolet and the vehicle leading the production line was the 1925 Chevrolet Superior Series K Tourer. The 5-passenger, 4- door car was a technical marvel and boasted of several innovative features, such as:
Original O.H.V. 4 CYL Engine delivering 21-22 HP, Wheelbase – 103″
Selective Sliding Transmission – 3 Speed
Wooden Spoke Wheels
Optional Front and Rear Bumpers
External Rear Wheel Brakes
Complete Top and Side Curtains
Wind Wings
Folding Windshield
Rear Mounted Spare with Cover
Wooden Rim Steering Wheel
Boyce Moto-Meter Radiator Cap
Stewart Plunge Horns
The first use by Chevrolet of the term “Series” was in 1925 with the announcement of the Superior Series K and the Utility Express Series M, though there was several inconsistent use of the term in some of the previous Chevrolet models leading to much confusion.

Chevrolet Motor Company of Michigan was incorporated in November of 1911 by Louis Chevrolet, William Little and Edwin Campbell, William Durant’s son-in-law, with the purpose of delivering cars worthy of its name, in a market, controlled by the legendary Ford Model T car.

Still the Chevrolet’s power, speed, stability, appearance and price soon made it, not only commercially viable but also worthy competitors to Ford’s traditionalism.

In 1929, Chevrolet introduced its new six-cylinder engine for use in commercial vehicles. This engine was nicknamed ‘the cast iron wonder’ for its remarkable durability, but the coming Depression resulted in substantial loss in its credibility.

Amidst this great Depression, Chevrolet continued to produce cars of the highest industrial standards and the 1931 production line certainly glorified the Chevy image in the face of the tormented automobile market.

The 1931 Chevrolet Independence Series AE Sedan led the assembly line with technical innovations which were unseen at the time. The 5-passenger, 4-door

1931 Chevrolet Sedan featured the following technical specifications:

Rear wheel drive, front motor car

Straight 6-cylinder 3179.7 cc., 3.2 L engine delivering 50.00 HP (36.8 KW) and 2600 RPM

Displacement of 194 Cu.In.

Wheelbase – 109 Inches

Bore x Stroke – 3.13 in x 3.75 in.

Manual 3-Speed Transmission

Its mention worthy that Chevrolet produced its 8 millionth car in 1931, which adequately signifies its status as one of the industry leaders, inspite of the tough competition amongst the major automobile powerhouses in the world
