Often called a “baby Cadillac,” the 1932 Chevrolet Confederate BA Series is widely recognized today as one of the best-looking cars of the Classic Era. Of all body styles offered, the 2/4-Passenger Convertible was arguably the most attractive with its clean lines, flowing fenders and extensive yet tasteful bright trim, along with a delightful rumble seat.

Although Ford’s long awaited new models stole most of the headlines in 1932, Chevrolet produced a vehicle that was slightly ahead in both form and function, especially given the teething problems encountered by the 1932 Ford V-8s. The Chevrolet model line, by comparison, offered a proven and smooth inline 194-cid, 60-hp six-cylinder engine with overhead valves and a counter-balanced crankshaft, coupled to a full-synchromesh three-speed manual transmission. More user friendly and offering very similar performance, the 1932 Chevrolets delivered reliable and trouble-free driving.

This example is well-equipped and carries many desirable features such as dual sidemount spares with metal covers and a pedestal mirror on the driver’s side, radiator mascot and stone guard, cowl lights, dual horns, wind wings, dual taillights, chrome hood side louvers and luggage rack with trunk. The Chevrolet is very nicely presented in a vibrant shade of green over black fenders and complementary trim colors.
