Robert Whelan's  1928 Chevrolet Tourer


Silver Fox
This tourer was built up over a period of 5 years after bringing all the original body and chassis
bits home in 2 box trailer loads. After completion it won many awards at various shows, enough
trophies were won to fill a large aquarium which had been used for this purpose.
After being used on the road for a couple of years the car was sold and went to Sydney and
has hardly been seen since.
