The Series F Superior Touring Convertible, such as this one, cost a whopping $685 new, versus a mere $290 for the Ford Model T of the same year. To counter the difference in price, Chevrolet promoted the idea that its cars really were "Superior. " The cost included an electric starter and wood-spoke wheels. Bumpers were optional. Touring cars and roadsters also wore wood-spoke wheels. The new Chevy rode on a 103-inch wheelbase but was now powered by an improved powerplant. The Chevrolet 171-cubic inch four-cylinder engine featured overhead valves and produced 26 horsepower, while the Model T's L-head four was rated at a lesser 20 horsepower. Chevy had a conventional three-speed manual transmission but it was updated with a new single dry-plate clutch, replacing the old cone style clutch.
The folding canvas top is in excellent condition. The authentic Moto-Meter was a factory option on the Deluxe Superior model and was added to this example as an upgrade. Included with purchase are; Believed original Title, restoration photos and receipts. The condition is ideal for those enthusiasts who want a usable collector car with a lovely patina. This fun and very usable early Chevrolet would complement any collection and could be driven as is.
