I dabble a little into the early 30s Chevrolets

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

----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
