It's funny, that little Chevy looks pretty sporty, and those Cadillacs are beautiful, but that Duesenberg is on another level. It looks years ahead of the others. Stunning.

She's a duesy.

This car is a 1931 Chevrolet Landau Phaeton. It was way ahead of it's time & Chevrolet didn't sell many units for the 2 years they were made, 1931 & 1932. This was a full convertable in which all passengers were under roof. All the side windows rolled down & the divisional bar between the side glass was removable. The windshield layed down on the cowl. This car also has an integral trunk. Today hard to find & one of the most expensive cars to restore from the 1931 1932 models because of all the chrome. Even the bows were chrome....Joe

I think it was against the law to produce an ugly car in 1932. EVERYONE seemed to just hit it out of the park that year.

I was going by the sign with the car which I see is obviously wrong. So is this technically a 32 Chevrolet Confederate Deluxe Sport Cabriolet Convertible? From what I could find all 32 Chevrolets were Confederates. The Deluxe had chromed hood ports, cowl lamps and dual side mount spares. The Sport meant it had a rumble seat. Is Cabriolet just another name for Convertible? I found the difference between a Roadster and a Convertible was what was mentioned above.

That's quite a little research...eh? :)
Good job....Joe

I plan to be at MCACN on Saturday and Sunday taking pictures of my favorite cars there so if you see a guy with a camera taking pictures of your car and writing down notes it may be me. I'll try to post my pictures on here before Thanksgiving. Have a safe trip and hopefully I'll see some of you guys there.

----A buddy of mine on Cape Cod restored one of these 32 roadsters in roughly 1972-3. The thing was a piece of artwork. Got restored for Len Immke who owned the biggest buick dealer in the world in Columbus OH. He had a huge collection at one point....Bill S

Here are my photographs from the '22 MCACN Show. I'll post them over the next day or two with a little commentary on each car. If anyone has any additional information on any of the cars feel free to post it. I'll start with some Corvettes from the Triple Diamond Display. This Arctic Blue 57 Corvette is 283 horse fuelie with a 4 speed. There were 756 Code 579B & E fuelies built in '57 and there were 664 Corvettes built with 4 speeds. The 4 speed wasn't available until later in the year. A. Applegate had this car at the show.

This Panama Yellow 58 Corvette is a 290 horse fuelie with 4.11 gears and the RPO 684 Heavy-Duty Brake option. It was also ordered without a radio or a heater and only a hardtop. There were 1,007 code 579D fuelies built in '58 and 144 Corvettes with the RPO 684 option. This car was raced by Ralph Haun in Southern California Timing Association events early in its life. G. Horton had this car at the show.
