and buy yourself this beautiful 1932 Chevrolet Series BA Confederate Deluxe Cabriolet with rumble seat. This one year only model replaced the '31 series AE Independence. Overall, between the Depression and the introduction of the Ford V8, sales were cut in half from the previous year to 323.000 but Chevy still retained its #1 spot. The cars were assembled on 4 continents.The "stove bolt" 6 was boosted to 60 hp and the 3 speed all syncromesh transmission was outfitted with "Wizard Control" which allowed the engine to coast in neutral when the foot was taken off the accelerator. The "Deluxe" models were easily identified by the chromed opening vents that replaced the hood louvers. The MSRP for the AE series started at $445 for the base model coupe. FM's model is really pretty to look at despite the over-sized dog legs that intruded into the cabin, with the cute touches of the inserted ignition key with an embossed metal fob with the FM logo and the faux crystal eagle hood ornament.

Sometimes referred to as a baby Cadillac, the Confederate series cars had style plus and FM captured it beautifully.

Rich: Great photos. Really like the yellow one better than the blue. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, that's exactly right - almost forgot that Bob!
