The purpose of this Blog

This blog is to detail my 50 years (1973 - 2023) with a 1928 Chevrolet tourer, affectionately called "The Red Chev".

The acquisition, restoration, improvements and my experiences over the years are covered in as much detail as I can remember.

Some of the later postings include car club outings and other vintage car items that I hope will be of interest to people.

If you have the time, scroll back to where it all began in 1973 and follow the journey so far.

Thanks for dropping by.

Regards Ray Dean

926 STAR Speedster, (from the 20's)

Found this on Ebay, not my style but I like and would love a Chevy Speedster

926 STAR Speedster, Roadster, Runabout out of many years in storage. I do not know very much on its history other than it was sold at a Seattle auto auction in the early 1980’s supposedly to a John Farrell. It may have been a race car back in the 20’s or 30’s and I seriously doubt if it was a backyard build as the sophistication in the construction of the body, grille and grille shell is beyond amateur workmanship and it is done entirely in steel. It still has the Continental 4 cylinder engine and original transmission and running gear. It needs to have the gas tank cleaned out to be a reliable runner and the lights need to be rewired. It just needs some basic maintenance issues. It still has the Star motometer, cloisonné grille shell emblem and the factory Star hubcaps. The tires are 30” X 3 ½”.
