I have for a short while, 2 - 1932 5 window coupes. One is a Standard and the other Deluxe. The Standard has 7 leaf springs and rides a lot better than the Deluxe with the 8 leaf springs. Can anybody tell me what was correct? Which cars got 8 leaf and which got 7 leaf?

Awesome, Thanks. If I am reading that correct, my Deluxe has a Rumble seat making it a Sport Coupe. That would be SCpe2 and 8 leaf spring. The standard is probably a Cpe2 and has 7 leaves, so both are "correct" as they sit. Kinda disappointed, I wanted to believe that someone put springs that were too heavy on the Deluxe. I suspect Chevrolet added the 8 leaf springs for the extra weight of 2 passengers in the rumble seat.
Your suspicion is correct.
