1929 Chevrolet Phaeton Engine Running Video
Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Built in General Motor's Tarrytown Plant, Chevrolet's 1929 lineup were known for their newly designed straight six engines. Marketed as "A Six for the Price of a Four," the introduction of the new engine, played a crucial role in the natural competition with Ford, offering double the horsepower of the models from just two years prior. This 3.0 liter inline-six sported overhead valves and became known as the "stovebolt six" single-slot screws were used to attach covers for the pushrod and overhead valves to the engine block. The model 2AC shared its construction with many others from the General Motors family including Oakland, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac. Naturally with such innovation and power the 1929 Chevrolet AC Series was a huge hit, with 1,328,605 unites sold that year.
Robert A. Jones, a successful businessman and second-generation leader of the still going concern, Jones Brothers Contracting of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, had an innate understanding of the many heavy duty machines that were a part of the family business. Early on, Mr. Jones turned that knowledge into a passion for road cars and acquired his first collector car in 1969, at the age of 35 — the famous Ford Model T. That single and simple pre-war car sparked a passion that never tempered for Mr. Jones and eventually, influenced by the more common Jones family marque of choice, his passions would burn even brighter for early Chevrolets. As his collection grew and changed over the years, his interests were focused on displaying the cars at regional shows and concours, as well as still driving many of his road-worthy classics. Hagerty Marketplace is proud to offer The Jones Collection, entirely without reserve, comprising some long-treasured vehicles from his personal collection.
