1929 Chevrolet TOUR TOURING International (Plastic Side Curtains-107" Wheelbase)
In late December of 1928 Chevrolet introduced the 194 cubic inch straight six engine, affectionately referred to as the "Stove Bolt Six" and the "Cast Iron Wonder". This new engine had 46 horsepower and three main bearings. The chassis had a 107 inch wheelbase and came equipped with standard 20" disc wheels but accessory wire wheels were also offered. In addition, you could special order wood wheels from the parts department. This car came with an electric temperature gauge with a temperature sender mounted on the front of the cylinder head. Crankcase ventilation was accomplished by having the spark plug holes open in the push rod cover.
The 1929 model year established a record in Chevrolet sales with one million, three hundred fifty thousand cars & trucks delivered. The Phaeton or Touring car sold for $525.00. Chevrolet's slogan for 1929 was "A Six in the Price Range of the Four."
