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

100,000 visitors to this blog.

With this being the biggest milestone for my blog to date, its a good opportunity to say thanks to a few people.

To all who have viewed the blog since the slow start on 15th December 2010 to where it is today.

From the first posting http://my28chev.blogspot.com.au/2010/12/introduction.html which has only been viewed by 28 people, to the latest postings, all of which make up the 730 posts in total.

I can still recall the early days when I thought it would fizzle out at about 2,500 hits, so I am amazed that today (May 2013) where it is on target for 10,000 hits in a 1 month period.

Thanks to you all,

I hope you keep coming back from time to time, and as long as I can keep finding interesting photos and articles, not to mention the odd story about "The Red Chev", I will keep the postings coming.
