Vehicle Description
1932 Chevrolet Confederate Deluxe Convertible finished in Brown
with Brown interior. Only 50,188 original miles in an 86 year old
car. This is a very rare example as only 1,118 convertibles were
built in the deluxe series. Powered by a 206c.i. inline six that
featured Chevy's first Carter Downdraft Carburetion. The engine,
compared to the model year prior, had a higher compression ratio
and hotter camshaft that created 60hp. At the time, 60hp was a very
powerful and viable option for those looking at something cheaper
than a Cadillac, who led the power and luxury market at the time.
The Confederate also featured a 3-Speed manual transmission.Chevy
knew what it was up against when the great depression hit and when
Ford was deciding to put V8 engines in its cars. The redesign
happened for Chevy in the 1930's and the Confederate took off. So
much, in fact, that Chevy was the only GM dealer to post profits
during this model year. The design of the Confederate was very
similar to that of a Cadillac at the time. There was now hood doors
and 4 hood "ports" as Chevy called them, to replace the 22 louvers
on each side of the hood. Overall, the nickname that came from this
design was the "Baby Cadillac" and it's safe to say it works well
for the car.With so much going for it already, the 1932 Chevy
featured 18" wheels, silent synchromesh for 2nd and 3rd gear, and a
feature called "freewheeling" which was an economy-related feature
in all of the Confederate models. Freewheeling was a feature that
allowed a driver to take their foot off the gas pedal and allow the
car to coast without any engine braking. It proved economic at the
time.This example has had a complete body-off restoration and has
been restored to the exact standards for the time period and model.
It has won many awards including the AACA Senior Award and Vintage
Chevrolet Club Senior Award with Badges. It is loaded with
accessories such as dual side mounts, dual side mount mirrors,
trunk rack with trunk, dual exterior horns, dual taillights, and a
rumble seat for additional passengers.For more information on this
