Thanks for sharing these great pics!
These cars pictured were older than many of our As , and is some ways ahead of Ford even the As! Yeah their downfall, IMO, was wood but look at the better ride, at the OHV head, fuel storage/delivery, and those beautiful disc wheels(I still have couple of those). I had my '30 Chev engine rebuilt short block by Egge and it ran quiet as a 'singer sewing maching' ! 'Restored' the wood ('30 bidness coupe) as a amatuer wood carver..never again
!
As to 'where have they gone'...same as As ...for the survivors! They are stored away in people's garages/sheds/barns,etc, . In about 1965 or so, we started a Chev club here in the San Fernando Valley. With about 300 members, it's the only club that I've ever belonged to. Still have NOS parts and club roster, patches, jacket and dozens of new chevy club books ..re: 4/6 cyls. If anyone were curious about classier styling of one or other, I would refer you to look at the 1932 Chev coupe, compared to the vaunted 1932 Ford coupe. I've owned both Ford/Chev and lovem both!
