To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 4 - 5 October 2023. rnOffered Without Reserve | $30,000 - $40,000 USD rnrnNearly 40 years within a carefully curated collectionrnPresented in a lovely, period-correct color schemernBenefits from a previous, meticulous, and wholly correct restoration executed between 1988 and 1994rnTastefully upgraded for improved touring reliability and performance, including period Edmunds intake with twin dual-barrel Edelbrock 94 carburetorsrn rnrnBy the early 1920s, Chevrolet had established itself as an excellent automaker that offered reliability and durability in an attractive and accessible package. In January 1931, the company introduced a new model, the AE Independence, with a wheelbase extended by two inches to 109 inches, and a slightly more powerful 85-horsepower version of the famous Stovebolt Six engine first introduced in 1929. The top speed of all models was about 85 mph, an especially respectable performance for a low-priced automobile of the era. Backing the Stovebolt was a standard three-speed, floor-shifted transmission that routed power to the rear wheels through a live rear axle. Parallel semi-elliptic leaf springs supported front and rear axles, offering both unexpected comfort and fine roadholding for a car of this period.rnrnThe 1931 Chevrolet Independence Series AE also represented another step in the revolutionary and attractive styling offered by Fisher Body. The new Chevrolet was coming closer each year to mirroring the upscale styling offered by Cadillac, but in a more economical package that was easier to maneuver. Even today, the striking styling of the Model AE Sport Roadster demands attention from all who see one, just as the example offered here does.rnrnAs presented today, this handsome 1931 Independence Sport Roadster has enjoyed nearly 40 years of carefully treasured residency within a finely curated, private collection. During its first several years within the consignor's notable stable, this stunning Chevrolet was meticulously restored by a consortium of marque specialists and refinished in the charming color scheme of cream, brown, and orange for an elegant period-correct appearance, complemented by a wonderful brown Spanish-grain interior that is as comfortable as it appears. The car rides upon a stylish set of wide whitewall tires wrapped around color-matched wire wheels, while its Haartz cloth convertible top collapses neatly above the rear bulkhead, with ample clearance for easy ingress and egress to the rumble seat.rnrnFurthermore, under the consignor's long custodianship, this Chevrolet has been tastefully upgraded for improved reliability and performance during touring use, with notable additions including a pair of twin, dual-barrel Edelbrock 94 carburetors, a rare Edmunds period aftermarket intake manifold, and a modern alternator and ignition wiring.  rnrnIdeal for continued touring, this exceptional and previously restored 1931 Chevrolet Independence Sport Roadster would be a tremendous prize for any enthusiast looking to experience top-down motoring to the soundtrack of a souped-up Stovebolt.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
