đź§ Did you know?
The 1932 Chevrolet Confederate Series BA (also known simply as the Chevrolet Confederate) was Chevrolet's sole passenger car lineup for the model year, replacing the 1931 Independence series amid the deepening Great Depression, with production totaling approximately 323,100 units (model year; calendar year figures around 313,404 to 323,100 depending on source), a sharp drop from over 600,000 the prior year yet enough to keep Chevrolet as America's top-selling automaker ahead of Ford. Marketed as "The Great American Value" and nicknamed the "Baby Cadillac" for its upscale styling cues—including a longer hood with chrome-plated rectangular hood door vents (replacing louvers), deep-crowned fenders, a sloping windshield without external visor, Cadillac-inspired radiator shell, and attractive two-tone paint options—it rode on a 109-inch wheelbase with 18-inch tires and offered up to 21 body styles across Standard and Deluxe trim levels (though sources vary slightly on exact count, typically 12 Standard and 9 Deluxe), including popular Coach (two-door sedan, 132,109 built), Special Sedan (52,446), five-window Coupe (34,796), and rarer open models like Phaeton (419 units) and Roadster (1,100 standard plus 8,552 Sport). Power came exclusively from an updated 194-cubic-inch (3.2-liter) overhead-valve inline-six "Stovebolt" engine producing 60 horsepower at 3,000 rpm (up 10 hp from 1931 thanks to a new downdraft carburetor and counter-balanced crankshaft), mated to a three-speed synchromesh manual transmission (first with synchromesh in all forward gears), selective free-wheeling (optional for coasting/fuel economy but soon unpopular due to reduced engine braking), four-wheel mechanical brakes, and a semi-floating rear axle. Despite economic hardship, its refined ride (aided by added frame cross-members and hard-rubber mounts), solid Fisher Body construction (wood-framed with steel panels for a satisfying door "thunk"), and features like tilting windshield and adjustable seats helped it outsell Ford's new V8 Model 18 in calendar-year volume (~306,716 Chevrolets vs. ~287,285 Fords), cementing its status as one of the era's most stylish and enduring affordable classics.
