"Cars from this era that can be driven with relative ease have a special charm that is well worth exploring for anyone with the curiosity and opportunity to do so."

Beschreibung

It was delivered to its first owner, P. E. Nilsson, in October 1919 by GM dealer Wiklunds Bilaffär in Hudiksvall. Nilsson drove his “Four-Ninety” for several years, enjoying the sense of novelty and excitement that an automobile could inspire at the time.

In 1925, he took the car off the road, or, as the records put it, “it was removed from the motor vehicle register”. During the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, the car remained in storage and was also displayed for a period at the former Gysinge Motor Museum.

In the late 1950s, automotive painter Lennart Westerbring purchased the old Chevrolet and returned it to the road in June 1963 after it passed inspection. He drove and used the car throughout the 1960s. There is an inspection record from 1970, but after that it was taken off the road again.

The car was eventually inherited by Westerbring’s son, from whom the current owner purchased it in 2012. He rebuilt the engine, which had remained untouched and had not been started since 1969, registered and inspected the car for road use in 2013, and has driven approximately 2,000 kilometres in it since then.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch

    The engine starts easily and has a strong, purposeful sound. The car is enjoyable to drive, with a small throttle pedal positioned between the clutch and brake pedals. Gear changes are straightforward when made decisively.

    These engines were not fitted with a valve cover during the first few years of production, so this is correct and original. An additional silencer is also included.

  • Zustand Interieur

    Britain and Australia were major export markets, and export models were therefore initially built with right-hand drive, even when destined for other countries. The interior is clean and in good condition. The seat backs retain their original Pegamoid upholstery, while the seat cushions have been newly upholstered in vinyl. The door cards retain their original fabric.

  • Zustand Exterieur

    The previous owner’s father was an automotive painter, and the glossy black paintwork dates from the 1960s. The soft top is complete and watertight, and is relatively easy to operate.

    The original side screens, consisting of fabric panels with plastic windows, are included, although the current owner has never used them. A practical tonneau cover is also included. The tyres and wheels are in good condition.

  • Zustand gesamt

    A well-functioning pre-war car, ready to be enjoyed on the road rather than confined to a museum.

Fakten zum Modell

The Model 490 was produced between 1915 and 1922, and its name came from its original price of $490. At the same time, its rival, the Ford Model T, sold for $495. The price remained at that level for a couple of years, but by 1922 the car cost more than its name suggested, although the model designation remained unchanged.

Its advanced overhead-valve engine was unusual for the period. Chevrolet remained committed to the design, and the four-cylinder 2.8-litre unit continued as the marque’s base engine until 1929, when Chevrolet introduced its first six-cylinder engine and a new generation of models.

Auktionsinfo

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
