Officially the Series BA Confederate, this is the 1932 Chevrolet. With its long bonnet and rows of vent doors along the bonnet sides it looked like a scaled-down Cadillac, and it used Chevrolet's overhead-valve six, the engine nicknamed the Stovebolt. Many regard it as the best-looking Chevrolet of the decade.
