1931 Chevrolet Deluxe Roadster — AACA Senior National First Prize Winner
A Rare Jewel of Pre-War American Craftsmanship
This exceptional 1931 Chevrolet Deluxe Roadster is more than just a beautifully restored automobile—it’s a certified icon of early American motoring history. Honored with the prestigious AACA Senior National First Prize, this car belongs to an elite class of vehicles whose authenticity, precision, and restoration excellence have been judged among the best in the nation—not once, but twice. Earning this title means more than just looking good—it’s a recognition of historical correctness, mechanical perfection, and show-ready presentation at the highest level.
But accolades are only part of the story.
In 1931, Chevrolet was on a historic rise, unseating Ford as America’s top-selling automaker. This wasn’t luck—it was innovation. The Deluxe Roadster helped define that turning point, boasting a 193 cubic inch overhead-valve inline 6-cylinder engine, which offered far smoother and more potent performance than Ford’s flathead four. Chevy’s now-famous “Six for the Price of a Four” campaign was more than marketing—it was a revolution. And this very car is a rare, surviving testament to that bold engineering leap.
While many 1931 Chevrolets have vanished or deteriorated beyond saving, this Roadster has not only survived—it has triumphed. With meticulous care, expert restoration, and a commitment to preserving its factory-correct details, it stands as one of the finest examples known to exist.
