Chevrolet introduced their famous overhead valve six cylinder engine in 1929 just as Ford was introducing its new side valve flathead four cylinder in their newly designed Model A. Other than the fact that Ford had an enormous following and affection carried over from the Model T, the Chevrolet was a superior design and car altogether. Of course Ford stepped up their game in 1932 with the introduction with their flathead V8 engine and redesigned chassis, but even so the 1933 and especially the 1934 Chevrolet cars still had a better build quality and superior design. The engines in 1934 were 80 horsepower overhead valve straight six cylinders and the chassis now had knee action (Dubonnet) independent front suspension and a synchromesh transmission. Fords were still flathead configurations with transverse leaf spring suspension up front. Even with the introduction of the V8 for Ford in 1932, Chevrolet still outsold Ford by around 70,000 cars in 1934. The overall design of the 1934 Chevrolet Master (DA) roadster, which is on a longer wheelbase than the standard cars, is really beautiful with fantastic proportions and deco period attributes with a low windshield and top and a really sleek looking body and fender design. Out of 453,000 Master cars produced in 1934, only 1,974 Master roadsters were produced and only a few original factory roadsters exist today.
THIS CAR is an absolutely fantastic 1934 Chevrolet Master Six Roadster that has been treated to a recent body off rotisserie restoration with over $150,000 spent on the restoration alone. It is one of only a handful of original factory built 1934 Master Six roadsters in existence. As already mentioned, 1934 was also the first year for the Dubonnet front suspension (independent front suspension, but it is also the very last year that Chevrolet produced a true open roadster. This car is finished in its original and very sharp color combination of Clear Water Green and Scarab Green paired with cream wheels and pinstripes. The restoration, carried out by well respected Chevrolet marque expert and restorer Dave Sylvain or Vernon, Connecticut, is over the top and absolutely exceptional with thousands of hours and over 4 years put into this car. Many details went into the correctness of the restoration including the proper tan canvas top material, proper interior, sourcing of original 1934 fender skirts and factory metal spare tire cover and even the chassis has the proper factory stenciling put back on. It can go to any Concours d’Elegance, Antique Automobile Club of America, or Chevrolet Club events and surely score exceptionally well. It runs and drives perfectly as well with many hours just in the mechanicals, it needs nothing. Complete with comprehensive restoration photos and documentation. This is absolutely the best and most significant pre-WWII Chevrolet and certainly the nicest 1934 Master Six Roadster in the world. Contact me for more info for this beautiful Chevrolet.
