What is the difference between coupe and sport coupe?

Production Figures
Coachs 126,138
Coupes 32,193
Phaetons 217
Sedans 42,049
Sport Coupes 1,176

Are we talking STANDARD SERIES EC, or MASTER series EA.


My 35 master CANADIAN production figures show

2 pass regular coupe ( quarter window ) Chevrolet model no 10-17 FISHER JOB 1017

4 pass reg. coupe with rumble seat & solid quarter CHEVROLET MODEL NO 10-87 FISHER 1057

4 pass special coupe with rumble seat & Solid Quarter Chevrolet model no 10-57 Fisher 1057


I would have to assume that the quarter window model is what we would call a 5 window coupe and the other 2 versions with solid quarter would be 3 window coupes.

Sports Coupes usually have a rumble seat....Joe

EC

According to my CANADIAN production sheets Chevrolet only produced for the 1935 STANDARD EC SERIES , THE 3 WINDOW COUPE COMES UP AS....

CHEVROLET MODEL NUMBER 12-07 2 pass. regular coupe (solid quarter) FISHER JOB NO 35-1207

Here they only produced the regular 3 window coupe, there was no special or sport coupes produced.

Like JOE I. says "sport coupes" would have a rumble seat, that was a 1933 Chevrolet standard series option where the 2 types were offered, with and without rumble seat.

If they offered a "sport coupe " for 1934-1935, its not something that was offered here. Question is , was it offered only in the USA ???????????

I have never noticed a 34-35 std series coupe on ebay offered with a rumble seat. Masters in 34 yes.

judging by the spread on the coupe 31,000 and sport coupe 1100 in your production figures , the sport coupe would be a rare bird indeed.

A Sport coupe had a rumblle seat. In the 1933-1936 Master series the Sport coupe was a 3 window job and the coupe 5 window.
All 1933-1935 Standard coupes had 3 windows.
My Chevrolet info. says a 1933 Standard was the only year Standard to have a sport coupe.
The above pertains to US cars.
In 1933 only 1903 Standard Sport coupes were made. and 26691 Master Sport coupes. In 1935 there were 32193 coupes and no Sport coupe in the Standard line.

So by what was said by,CHEV GENE , where did you get these production figures for a 1935 chev STD SERIES ec SPORT COUPE , 1,176 vehicles , that was not produced ???

mike

Chevrolet parts books and the 1939 NADA used car price guide and the 1935 Chevrolet Engineering Manual. to name three.

I am asking WISEBRI where he got his production figures.

Just goes to show that you can not believe every thing on the internet.

note.............that the production figure posted on those sites is( 1176 )for the sport coupe AND IT matches the ROADSTER PRODUCTION of 1176 so they named the roadster a sport coupe............LMAO how funny !

also neither of those 2 sites lists the SEDAN DELIVERY CHEVROLET BODY STYLE 12-71 AND fisher job number 35-1271. we produced 229 for our use and exported one left hand drive too ?

The auzzies got 5736 C K D pass chassis shipped to them to make sedans, coaches, coupes , roadsters, roadster pickups, tourings.

mike ........

Probably because Chevrolet considered a sedan delivery a truck.

Gene, on the GM CANADA production sheets 1934 1935 I have, sedan deliverys are listed with the cars.

The 1933 master sedan delivery is also listed with the cars and not the trucks.

From what I can see on the 1933 sedan deliverys production sheets by year......under notation C.......".bodies received trimmed and in prime ". So like the roadsters and the phaetons , the bodies were assembled by an outside source.



mike.................

Sedan Deliveries were sometimes listed with the passenger cars and other years with the trucks. Sorta like the Red Headed Stepchild. I am of the opinion that not all Fisher Body plants produced Sedan Deliveries due primarily to low production numbers. So the plants that did produce SDs would supply more than one assembly plant. That is conjecture not proven fact. Tucson Joe has a registry of early SDs that shows several Body Plants producing bodies. Once more are documented the production/assembly operations will be better known.

In 1932, the Sedan Delivery was a series BA which was the designation for a passenger car.

Sorry for hijacking the '35 production figures topic. These last three posts should be in a separate topic. At least the last two.

Well Skipper you are partly correct. The early '32 Sedan Delivery was not listed in Feb '32 parts book or March 21 Supplement. Yup, had a 32 drive train but '31 Job No. 31570 (AE?). The August '32 parts book still didn't show Sedan Delivery in the front listing but did have part numbers listed for both the 31570 and 32570 Job Nos. both with the C ('32) model designation. Red Headed Step Child? The Feb. '33 Parts Book shows the '32 Sedan Delivery in the front listing.

Your not hijacking the thread , in my opinion your adding good info too it !!!!

mike

The 1931 Sedan Delivery had "AE" as part of the car serial number and the 1932 (both early and late) had "BA" listed as part of the car serial number as well...indicating that they were passenger cars. However, the 1933 Sedan Delivery serial number plate that I viewed had "CB" as part of the car serial number.

Wow! Thanks again.

Thanks for driving me nuts trying to figure what a 1934-35 Chevrolet SPORT COUPE is. I thought I knew all the models and was freaking out trying to figure out what it was.

So much for whoever wrote down that SPORT ROADSTERS were sport coupes. At least he did not call them convertibles. Should be hung by the nose hairs for stupidity.

mike

In Australia a 35 master sports all enclosed coupe was built no rumble seat rear seat was inside better known here as aka "Sloper"
