This 1932 Chevrolet Confederate Special Sedan is an amazing survivor. Original, unrestored cars like this are extremely rare. Hear the story from the owner as the video highlights its fantastic condition.
What’s interesting about Chevy’s one-model-name-a-year era, the “model name” didn’t appear anywhere on the car’s external badging nor was it used in brochures and advertising which referred only to “The New Chevrolet.” It appeared only on shop manuals, parts lists and so on and was probably meant as a reference to make sure the guy at the parts counter knew what a customer had.
That is crazy!!! The original spare tires! 80+ year old tires, looking brand new! Sadly they are probably super dry rotted and if you even tried to drive on it, the rubber would just fly off.
My father bought a blue and Black one about 1955 for $25.00 to drive while his 1949 meteor was in the repair shop following a collision. He drove it for about 6 weeks and then sold it for $35.00. Shortly after the purchased wracked the engine and used the front axle for a trailer which I saw around town for the next 30 years or so. Wish I had it to restore now.
This was my Mother's and Father's car known as Elmer and Ruby's 32 Chevrolet of Bellflower Calif. My father bought this car in 1968 from the original owner.
He might have it disconnected below. Nobody liked the freewheeling feature, it's downright dangerous. To disengage it you'd have to have that button all the way out, which really sticks out of the dash so my guess is like mine, it's taken off the unit under the floor and shoved forward.
