The square front heater that was oftered in 32 is shown in the 35 accessory book along with the later round type. 32 heater was called an outdaft heater cost $10.95.

The "outdraft" heater for $10.95 shown in the 1935 accessory catalog was not used in 1932. The "beehive" heater was used in 1931, 1932 and 1933. The "outdraft" accessory heater first appeared in late 1933. The 1931-33 heater was a "downdraft", not an "outdraft".

With respect to cars remaining in inventory a long time -

I have heard tales of cars remaining in inventory during the Depression for as long as several YEARS. I recall a fellow telling me about his family getting a great deal on a "left - over" '31 in 1934!! Don't know the truth of it, but it seems possible, in those very difficult times.

My 35 parts book doesn't list a hot water heater for the 32 only some parts; it lists 3 heaters p/n 600088 "super" 33-34 all, 601085 "Outdraft" 33-35 all and 601083 "Super" 35 all. I just remember my Dad's 28 sedan with the "Outdaft" heater when he bought it after the War II in 45.

The accessory 1931-32 "beehive" heater, which was also used in 1933 is listed in the earlier parts books. The part number is 364250 as shown in the February 15th, 1933 edition of the Chevrolet parts book. The April edition of the 1934 parts books shows the same part number and that the "downdraft" heater fits 1931-33 all. The later "square front outdraft" heater was not used in 1932 since it did not appear until late 1933.

Could one of you guys email me the picture of the outdraft heater mentioned above from the 1935 accessory catalog. I'd like to compare that to the heater in the 35 Std. I'm working on to see if its similar. Thanks.....Bill

Need your Email address for that.......

bagsinky if you e-mail me your home address I'll send you a copy of the Chevrolet Service Bulletin dated Feb.14, 1935 that has the instructions on how to install the outdaft heater in your 35 Std. and a picture of the heater. I don't have a picture of the 35 heater on/off switch with the green & red light indicators but it does show the heater hose to engine fittings.

What type of switch was used in 1935?

The 1939 parts books lists a bulb for the switch and listed for 1935 only.

There is a different bulb listed for a 1936 switch.From what I can find the '36 used a rotatary switch much like the 1937.

The toggle type switch was used from 1931-34 as per the 1934 and 1939 books.

I would appreciate it if you could send me the 1935 instructions also.

It appears that the 1935 version of the out draft heater had a black painted front trim piece and doors.The 1933-34 were polished metal.

Quote: "The toggle type switch was used from 1931-34 as per the 1934 and 1939 books."

My '33 does not have a toggle switch.

The heater is controlled by a pull-out knob (matching the "Lights" or "Choke" knob) at the bottom right of the dash, labeled "Accessories."

This agrees with all others I have observed.

Ya, I have seen the same thing on the 1933 models. However, both the 1933 parts book and the 1934 parts book lists the toggle switch for 1933 and 1934, and there is also an illustration of the toggle switch in the 1934 parts book.

The 1935 Chevrolet Service Bulletin #12 from Zone 12 Buffalo dated Feb.14, 1935 says as follows in note at bottom of page "NOTE: Install switch so that light window can be seen by driver. Red light indicates high speed and green light low speed." Switch is same for Master & Standard. chevgene give me your shipping address & send you a copy.
