Thanks to the efforts of historians and museums, we have the opportunity to see how things have evolved in more than a century of automotive innovation. This is the case with this video presentation of the 1914 Chevrolet H4 Baby Grand, one of the first Chevrolet cars manufactured with General Motors founder W.C. During.
In an effort to compete with the Ford Model T, Chevy introduced the Chevrolet Series H Bathrough Grand in 1914, which lasted until 1916, when the H was replaced by the Chevrolet F Series.
This style is a 1914 H4 Baby Grand Touring, which still looks flawless even after 106 years.
Offered as an entry-level economy car for the Chevy brand, the vehicle was presented with a base value of only $875. Adjusted to inflation, this represents around $22,500 in fashion currency.
Motivation is a solid iron four-cylinder engine with a valve design in mind. The engine features a detachable nickel motor canopy for easy access to springs and drums. The nine total horsepower is estimated at approximately 24 horsepower, and the output is directed to the rear axle via a three-speed selective slip cone clutch transmission.
Standard appliances that were highlighted included curtains, a windshield, a speedometer, a horn, a spare wheel and a tool set. One of the most important prints of the Baby Grand is the optional electric starter, which the Model T would not offer for five years. The Chevrolet H4 Baby Grand will also offer an optional front bumper.
Chevrolet claims to have sold 5005 games for the 1914 style year.
This specific video lasts just over a minute, but offers an overview of the exterior and interior, as well as some of the announcements of the time, adding a photo of the Chevrolet H4 Baby Grand on the steps of the State Capitol in Des Moines, Iowa. .
The video will be held at Chevy’s virtual car show, which will last a week.

A budget car for the “Chevy logo”? Chevrolet is not a fake marketing logo in 1914. Chevrolet, not even a division. Chevrolet was a real automotive company and had nothing to do with General Motors. Chevrolet isn’t even a big fan of cheap cars, unlike Bill. Watch D Series in 1917/18. First V8 engine and very sumptuous compared to any Ford presented at the time.
