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

Club run on National Motoring Heritage Day 2015

A great day to drive whatever "old' car you have to celebrate this yearly event.

I joined other cars from the Dandenong Valley Historic Car Club at Mornington, along with several other car clubs .

A great days outing, the weather was excellent, and the Red Chev went very well during the 75 mile round trip at 80-85 KPH.


 

Also was a great excuse to soak up the last of the good weather for a while, with fish and chips on the beach.
