1933 Chevrolet Master Sport Roadster

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

General Motors finally eclipsed the Blue Oval’s sales in the 1930s, first with the Chevrolet Series BA Confederate, and then with its successor, the Series CA Eagle launched in early 1933. Renamed to the “Master” later that year, the Series CA used an enlarged, 206 cu-in version of the “Stovebolt Six” producing 65 horsepower – just 10 horsepower shy of Ford’s newly-developed V8. Representing the top of the model lineup was the Master Sport Roadster, a handsome two-door open roadster featuring a retractable top that folded completely out of sight and a rear rumble seat. The declining popularity of two-door roadsters meant that very few were built, and even fewer survive today.

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.
