Although I don't own a Model D, it is a car that has always fascinated me. Perhaps someday I will be lucky enough to have one. I enjoyed Ken Kaufman's article about the "Chummy" in the March G&D. The fact that there are only about 20 known model D's certainly accounts for this forum's sparse use. I was amused, however, by a typo in the first paragraph referring to "...this millstone Chevrolet." That was a typo wasn't it!?

I have been interested in these cars since 1964 when Elam Becker's car was featured in an all Chevrolet issue of Antique Automobile Magazine. If the car was a millstone, it must have been a financial one for the company. And it was produced only 3 or 4 years after the model C, also an expensive car that did not set any sales records.
