1914 Chevrolet Series H-2 Royal Mail Roadster

Offered by RM Sotheby’s | Phoenix, Arizona | January 2025

Chevrolet’s first production car was 1911’s Series C. In 1914, they split their ranges between four- and six-cylinder cars. The Series H-2 was dubbed the “Royal Mail” and was sold for 1914 and 1915 (and the H-2 1/2 was offered in 1916). These were Chevy’s first four-cylinder cars.

The engine was a 2.8-liter inline-four that was rated at 24 horsepower. It cost $750 when new. This example was restored prior to being purchased by Bill Harrah in 1974. It was later donated to the Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg Museum in 1998. Clive Cussler purchased it in 2012.

Those are some notable collections. Early early Chevrolets are hard to come by. This one has an estimate of $25,000-$35,000. Click here for more info.
