1928 Chevy Touring - Smith Classic Cars

This is my 1928 Chevrolet Touring car. I bought this car as a box of parts when I was in college. It was my first old car, and it took a while to complete the restoration. With help from family it came together just in time. Come for a ride with me!

One of the best vids of a classic car I have seen. Nice and relaxed with just enough detail to be able to learn stuff. Thanks.

I have a 1928 Chevrolet Coupe, It was tore apart when I bought it! Putting it back together now! Questions! What it the hole just below the water pump besides the Generator tension bar? Is it a vent? It looks like a hose runs from this hole to the intake mouth on Your carburetor! But I believe it must have something to do with getting oil to the Crankshaft & Cam Gears! Is this correct? I LOVE Your BEAUTIFUL Car!

[@SmithClassicCars]

Thanks! That hole is for crankcase ventilation. Yes, positive crankcase ventilation in '28.

Hello James! how often do you need to oil the Motor? what motor oil do you use?

[@SmithClassicCars]

Hey William. Thanks for reaching out. I like to use straight 30W in all my cars with higher miles. It never gets very cold in So Cal. Castrol is the brand I prefer, but any quality oil will do. For oiling the top end, valves and rockers, if I recall correctly the book says every 300 miles. I keep the felt pad wet and oil the rockers, almost every time I drive it. It's overkill and I think most of the oil just runs down the sides of the engine, but I'd rather have more lube than not enough. Hope this helps.

[@williamhabermann2395]

@@SmithClassicCars Thanks James! that was very helpful!! just doing some research so by the time i buy one i know what oil to use and when to oil it!
