1932 Chevrolet Confederate Roadster

"Chevrolets for 1932 incorporate a really astonishing number of refinements —" (Automobile Topics). Urged on by the advent of Ford’s V-8 engine, Chevrolet decided to refine current models rather than introduce a totally new one. The BA Series had four-point rubber engine mounting, thicker metal in the engine, counter-weighted crankshaft, pressure-lubricated bearings, more horsepower, syncromesh transmission, and a fresh and stylish look.

Specifications: Confederate 2BA Sports Roadster; engine six-cylinder, in-line, water-cooled; bore 3-5/16 in., stroke 3-3/4 in., displacement 194 cu. in., 60 hp. Price new $485.

Accession no. 1997L01.
