The Chevrolet Light Six Series L was a mid- size car manufactured by Chevrolet from 1914 to 1915 as a lighter version of the Classic Six . The vehicle was introduced at the end of 1913 and was only available as a 5-seater touring car in black-blue or gray paintwork. The chassis and wheels were blue. It had a side-controlled six-cylinder in-line engine. The machine with a displacement of 4441 cm 3 developed an output of 35 bhp (26 kW). The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a cone clutch and a manual three-speed gearbox. The rear wheels were fitted with drum brakes. The retail price was US $ 1475.
In 1915 the car continued to be built without changes (as the brand's only six-cylinder after the Classic Six was discontinued) and discontinued the following year without a successor. About 3000 copies were made.
