1932 Chevrolet Confederate Sport roadster

The Chevrolet Confederate Sport Roadster

Often referred to as the “Baby Cadillac,” the 1932 Chevys were some of the most stylish cars on the road and certainly a very upscale entry-level car.

This Chevrolet Confederate Sport Roadster has been manufactured in 1932. It replaced the 1931 model series AE Independence.

Chevrolet built just 8552 Deluxe Sport Roadsters in 1932, so it is no surprise that only a few survive today. But this car’s story isn’t just rarity, it’s more about the fact that it’s simply a great car.

The electrical equipment is 6 volts with the positive to the mass, and a dual tone horn (referred as "town and country).

Mechanicals
The Confederate is powered by the “Stovebolt Six" 194 cubic inches (3179 cc) six-cylinder engine, producing 60 hp. A little choke and a little throttle and it springs to life easily and never gets finicky.

The 3-speed manual transmission is easy to manage and the ratios are well-chosen to match the engine’s torque curve.

The original steel rims are in perfect condition, They are equipped with white sidewall Lester Tyres 5.25 and 5.5/1b. At the rear the spare wheel is equipped with a Firestone tyre.

Bodywork
Fisher Body was doing some nice work in 1932, cranking out Chevrolet bodies right alongside Cadillacs, so it is no surprise that the doors fit well and the hood slides into place easily. The whole car has a solid, all-of-a-piece feel.

There is absolutely no traces of previous repairs on the chassis. The base is also in perfect condition. A complete disassembly of the vehicle was realised to achieve such a great result.

The paint and the colours "red and black” respect the original specs. The chromes have been restored as well as all the bodywork accessories.
