Hi all,
Can someone help with identification of our Chevrolet?
I recently get in possession of Chevy but I am not sure witch exact model is.
On papers it is written that date of build is 06.06.1920 and model: Fisher Body (FB), number on chassis is 256790.
Please look attached pictures to help get some more information so I can start restoration at appropriate way.
Thanks in advance
The dash looks to be 1928 and the emblem on the grill shell is 1928
1928....Dash, front brakes, 20 hood vent louvers are all 1928.
I agree that most of the part are 1928.
How sweet the roar of a Chevy four

Very cool ride!
Regarding the engine, if it has push rod covers, if the exhaust manifold has two ports, and the front of the head has a bulbous cover connected to the top radiator hose (this covers the thermostat), then the engine is also from 1928.
The car looks GREAT as is! My suggestion is to get it running, make sure all systems are safely working (check the brakes, flush the engine and radiator with clean water, change all the fluids, etc.) and just drive and enjoy it!
I think someone used a 1928 car as a foundation and home built a speedster out of it. Pieces of the body might be Chevrolet parts (like the wind shield, dash, and gauges), but overall it's not a model you could buy off the showroom.
Cheers, Dean
