1932 Chevrolet Sedan Confederate Edition

Description

The ’32s had some noteworthy styling updates over the previous year, including the prominent door-type hood louvers that were chrome on the Deluxe models. Also new for the year was a longer hood design, deeper-crowned fenders, a downdraft carburetor, additional frame cross member, and a counter-balanced crankshaft. Other standard features included a tilting windshield, a built-in sun visor and an adjustable seat.

The engine was the familiar “Stovebolt” inline 194-cubic-inch six-cylinder that produced 60 hp. The wheelbase was 109 inches and the car rolled on 18 x 5.24 tires mounted on spoked wheels.

Options for the model year included front and rear bumpers, single and double sidemounts, heater, cowl lights, dual wipers, mirrors and metal tire covers. Standard equipment on the upscale Deluxe models included two ashtrays, assist cords, armrests, curtains for the quarter windows and a vanity case. The Hartels’ car is equipped with the twin sidemounts, and with its two horns up front, it has a lot of curb appeal.
