The late 1920s and early 1930s saw Chevrolet use a different name for its product line each year. The 1927 model line, the "Series AA Capitol," was replaced by the "Series AB National" for 1928, which was followed by the "Series AE International" in 1929.

Power comes from Chevrolet's 171 CID I4 that makes 35 hp.

Chevrolet passenger car production for 1928 was more than 786,000 for the entire Series AB National line. The two cars seen in the photos above and below are two of the 41,313 roadsters bodies produced that year.

Class 18B: Gas Vehicles, between 4 and 8 cylinders, 4-wheel brakes, 1920 - 1929.

1929 Buick Series 129 Model 50.

1929 Buick Series 129 Model 50.

The Series 121 Model 50 is also known as the Master Six sedan.

I love the details in the wooden-spoke wheels, especially the Buick logo.

The "Series 129" designation indicates the car's wheelbase of 129 inches. the "Model 50" name indicates a 7-passenger, 4-door sedan body.

Power comes from Buick's 310 CID I6 that makes 91 hp. I'm also seeing where this engine makes 215 ft-lbs of torque at a super-low 1,200 rpm.

Class 19A: CCCA vehicles, 1915 - 1931.

The general Class 19 heading is for "Specified Classic Vehicles," and is divided into five sub-classes according to model year. These classes are reserved for specific vehicles manufactured between 1915 and 1948 that have been recognized by the Classic Car Club of America as "Classics."

1915 Pierce-Arrow Model 38C.

1915 Pierce-Arrow Model 38C.

Pierce-Arrow was one of the legendary, "Three Ps of Motordom," along with Packard and Peerless. The "Three Ps" were known for their phenomenal engineering and build quality, and were priced accordingly.

The Pierce-Arrow trademark fender-mounted headlamps are not present on this car. The "lamps placed on mud guards," (as they were known at the time), had recently been introduced as an option. The fender lamps gave the car its distinct appearance and made it instantly recognizable as a Pierce-Arrow. The roles were reversed shortly thereafter, (the fender-mounted lamps became standard equipment and the traditional bracket-mounted lights became optional).

Like so many cars from this era, the interior design is a work of art !

The Model 50 designation indicates a 7-passenger, 4-door sedan.

I believe the roof over the passenger compartment can be opened in some way, (think of it as a primitive version of a sunroof).

1915 Pierce-Arrow Model 38C.

The driver's compartment is open and covered by a canvas roof.

Power comes from a 414 CID I6 that makes 38 hp, (hence the name "Model 38C").

Like the rest of the car, the engine is also a work of art with the cylinders being cast in pairs.

1928 LaSalle Model 303.

1928 LaSalle Model 303.

The General Motors lineup from this era was designed like a ladder, with each make occupying a specific spot relative to both price and features. Both would increase as buyers climbed higher. Before the Companion Make program was introduced, this ladder started with entry-level Chevrolet, and then progressed upward to Oakland, Oldsmobile, Buick, and ending with luxury brand Cadillac.

The Companion Make program was established beginning in 1926 to fill pricing gaps that had developed between the existing divisions. All the GM divisions received a Companion Make except Chevrolet. This meant the five divisions under the GM umbrella suddenly became nine.

Chevrolet remained the entry-level division. Pontiac was created in 1926 as a companion placed above Chevrolet but under Oakland. Oldsmobile remained directly above Oakland. But the space in between Oldsmobile and Buick was filled by Viking and Marquette. The LaSalle division was born in 1927 and placed directly above Buick, but below Cadillac.

The Companion Make program didn't quite work as expected. Never mind the fact that all of this occurred at the beginning of the Great Depression. But instead of luring customers away from other manufacturers like Ford and Chrysler, the GM Companions were stealing sales from each other. Marquette only lasted one model year, (1930). Viking somehow made it three model years, (1929 - 31), despite producing fewer cars than Marquette. Pontiac, however, was a success. But that spelled doom for its companion Oakland (which was discontinued in 1931). LaSalle managed to hang on until 1940 before production ceased.

The "Model 303" designation refers to the 303 CID Cadillac V8 that sits under the car's hood.

I liked the vintage golf clubs !

1931 Buick Series 90 Sports Roadster.

1931 Buick Series 90 Sports Roadster.

Power comes from a 345 CID I8 that makes 104 hp.

The sign displayed with the car called it a "94," which I believe refers to the car's model code "8-94" which translates to a 4-passenger sport roadster. This is a very rare car being 1 of 843 made that year.

Class 19C: CCCA vehicles, 1934 - 1936.

1934 Packard Super Eight Sport Phaeton.

1934 Packard Super Eight Sport Phaeton.

Packard has always been one of my favorite makes ! I find Packards from this era to be some of the most beautiful cars ever made.

The instantly recognizable Packard grill.

Power comes from Packard's 385 CID I8 that makes incredibly smooth and silent 145 hp.

Packard's 385 CID I8.

The "1104" designation on the display card identifies this car as a Super Eight with a 142-inch wheelbase.

I couldn't find a specific breakdown of production totals among each body configuration. But a total of 1,920 Super Eights were produced that year among 22 different body configurations and three different wheelbases.

A stunning 1934 Packard Super Eight Sport Phaeton, another of my favorites from the show !

Class 19E: CCCA vehicles, 1940 - 1948.

1946 Lincoln Continental convertible.

1946 Lincoln Continental convertible.

The beautiful lines of the Lincoln Continental originate from a one-off custom car built for company president Edsel Ford's personal use during his March 1939 vacation. Designer Eugene T. "Bob" Gregorie started with a contemporary Lincoln Zephyr and transformed it into a stunning low-slung beauty. Reaction to the car was overwhelmingly positive. The production version of the car arrived late in 1939.

One of Gregorie's design objectives was to get people to focus on the styling of the car. To accomplish this, much of the traditional chrome and brightwork that adorned cars from that era was intentionally omitted. For example, the exterior door handles were replaced by pushbuttons.
