Anyone know much about '27 Chevy's?
« on: March 08, 2012, 09:21:23 am »
I'm sure there's a forum for antique cars out there, but it's easier just to send out a feeler here...

I'm selling my dad's '27, and I'm perplexed by the odometer. I assumed it has 9501.5 miles on it, but some guy keeps sending me messages insisting that it must have 95,015 miles.  The car is mechanically like new - I don't how a car of that era could possibly make it past 30k without falling completely apart.

Interested in hearing any opinions. If you look up 27 Chevy 2 door on eBay, you can see pics there - it's the only 27 chevy currently selling.

I couldnt find the ebay posting but I dont think the odos started reading in the tenths until maybe the late 50s if not the 60s??? Not 100 % sure though. My original 50 Dodge doesnt have then tenths.
