Reviving a Classic: The 1930 Chevrolet Series AD Universal Sedan
So, you fancy a time machine on wheels, eh? Well, what we have here is a 1930 Chevrolet Series AD Universal sedan, lovingly spruced up just before 2020 rolled around and purchased by the current seller.
Striking Looks & Power
Coated in a dignified green, this vintage ride sports black fenders and classy bodyside accents. Nestled inside is green tufted cloth upholstery. Talk about traveling in style! Packing power under its hood, this beauty comes with a 194ci inline-six engine hooked up to a three-speed manual transmission. It’s got it all from LED taillights to a Boyce MotoMeter radiator cap.
- LED taillights and turn signals
- Yellow 19″ disc wheels
- Rear-mounted spare rim and tire
- Running boards and rear-hinged rear doors
- Cowl lamps
- A brand-new six-volt electric fuel pump was installed in November 2024
This regal ride doesn’t come alone; it’s teamed up with literature, a battery charger, and service records, not to mention it’s got its Connecticut registration in check.
Distinctive Aesthetics
Brought back to its lush green glory from its past, the Fisher body sports black fenders and bodyside accents. This classic car ain’t missing its chrome bumpers or LED set of lights either. Let’s not forget the Chevy-branded Boyce MotoMeter radiator cap – a touch of elegance every collector dreams of.
Wheels That Stand Out
The wheels don’t just roll, they make impressive statements, painted in a cheerful yellow with Chevrolet bowtie hubcaps hugging Firestone bias-ply whitewall tires. The backup wheel isn’t left behind – it’s matched to a T.
- 107″ wheelbase
- Semi-elliptical leaf springs at each corner
- Stopping power via mechanical drum brakes for all four wheels
Comfortable Interiors
Living room or car? The interiors strike that balance with front and rear benches clad in green tufted cloth, complete with Fisher-branded floor mats and color-coordinated door panels. Amenities include door storage, ashtrays, and even window shades. Just the windshield crank might leave you hanging!
On the Road
The dashboard keeps the nostalgia alive with a wood-rimmed steering wheel and auxiliary gauges. We’ve also got a rebuilt 80-mph speedometer. The miles read 55k, with only about 1k added by the seller – because this baby is for rides you savor, not dash through.
Under the Hood
What powers your adventure? A 194ci Stovebolt inline-six engine rated at a powerful 40 horsepower. An oil change in June 2024 means this classic keeps purring. Keep in mind, the muscle gets sent to the rear wheels through a trusty three-speed manual gearbox.
Ownership Details
Registered under its body number, T13732, the car bears its Connecticut registration, officially dubbing it a bona fide antique. Now, it could be yours, ready for its next chapter.
