The 1928 Chevrolet Series AB National marked a significant milestone in Chevrolet’s emergence as a leading American automaker. Introduced as the successor to the Series AA Capitol, it was powered by a 171 cubic inch inline four-cylinder engine producing approximately 35 horsepower. The model featured notable improvements in reliability, a sturdier chassis, and more refined styling, highlighted by a distinctive radiator and smoother body lines. Offered in a variety of body styles, including sedan, touring, and coupe, it appealed to a broad range of buyers.

With production surpassing one million units, the Series AB clearly demonstrated Chevrolet’s growing popularity. Priced affordably at around $595 when new, models such as the 3-Window Coupe combined style and accessibility for everyday motorists. Its durability, quality construction, and dependable performance helped Chevrolet maintain momentum against Ford, exemplifying pre-Depression automotive innovation and mass production success.
