    I came across this photo on the web. What is it? The wheels and the hood sides only being half louvered have me baffled. what.jpg

    That's what I thought at first with the hood sides but I thought 1930 Chevys still had spoke wheels?

    In that period, Chevrolet offered wood, steel, or wire some years ...

    The photo of the 1929 Chevy that you posted sure looks like it. Thanks!

    And back then, it was just an old car. A jaunty roadster, but still, just an inexpensive old car.

    30 Chev could be had with steel wheels or wires. Screenshot (1469).png

  12. European car?
    The driver's uniform cover (hat) doesn't look American.

  13. Yup, '29 or '30 Chevrolet Roadster- the only real difference is the dashboard (I prefer the '29)
    The artillery wheels ate the most common- the soldier's side cap looks British or Canadian?
