My 1928 Chevrolet: Revisiting Stan the 1925 Chev of Patrick Ryan

The purpose of this Blog

This blog is to detail my 50 years (1973 - 2023) with a 1928 Chevrolet tourer, affectionately called "The Red Chev".

The acquisition, restoration, improvements and my experiences over the years are covered in as much detail as I can remember.

Some of the later postings include car club outings and other vintage car items that I hope will be of interest to people.

If you have the time, scroll back to where it all began in 1973 and follow the journey so far.

Thanks for dropping by.

Regards Ray Dean

Revisiting Stan the 1925 Chev of Patrick Ryan

A great Chevy that's worth a second look

The "Blue Chev" or "Stan" is home at last.

After a once over by a mechanic, all oils replaced, and the radiator repaired, Patrick drove his new toy, a 1925 Chev tourer home last Saturday, a trip of some 6o k's, sitting on 45 mph most of the way.

Pleased to hear all went well.

The next day Patrick did Bunnings, Woollies, Coles and had a dozen kids (strangers) sitting in her to have their pictures taken.

Patrick says the names "Stan" and "The Blue Chev" have been mentioned a few times..
