Chevrolet introduced the Model M Copper Cooled Chevrolet at the 1923 New York Automobile Show. Copper fins were fitted to the engine's iron cyliner head to rapidly disapate the heat. Approximately 759 of the copper-cooled engines were produced. They were a dismal failure and the factory recalled the automobiles and offered to replace them with a normal water-cooled engine. Virtually all were replaced with only this car and one at The Henry Ford Museum known to have escaped the recall.
Notice the copper-colored Chevrolet "bow tie" emblem on the radiator front of the car. The word "Cooper" appears above and the word "Cooled" appears below the word "Chevrolet". This is the only time any words other than Chevrolet have ever appeared within the emblem.
