1927 Other Makes vintage landaulette replica Additional Info:
Here is a unique car built in the style of a 1927 Landaulette with manyvintage parts. I have included one picture of an original Landaulette to give some idea of how successful it is. Given eachbody was tailor made on the manufacturerschassis and drivetrain in this period, I think it is remarkably good.I particularly like the fact that the auto gearbox lever is one of the vintage levers on the outside of the body to the right of the driver. (The other lever is the hand-brake.) Idislike the giveaway modern auto levers in the middle of the car on vintage replicas.
The chassis on this car is a 1927 Chevrolet. The many of themechanical parts are Ford Pinto based, including disc brakesand parts for these are readily available. For example, I took a front disc brake caliper off this week to refurbish it and when I went to the motor factor for a kit they had a reasonably priced new caliper on the shelf, so I bought it! I replaced the pads and brake hoses at the front at the same time. All-In-All -The car is really very convincing because many original vintage parts have been used,plus a gold plated radiatormascot and nice radiator.
The car is running and driving. It is registered with the UK DVLA as a 1927 car.
NB - true mileage for this car is unknown. I had to put a figure in and did so on the basis of guesstimate of the known use as a wedding car operating as part of a local wedding venue.
Car is in the south coast of England. Close to the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth.
