The Ford Model B was introduced for the 1932 model year as an update to the successful Model A. It featured a revised version of the 201ci 4-cylinder engine, now producing 50 horsepower, and was housed in an all-new chassis and body. While it shared its fresh styling with the V8-powered Model 18, the Model B is often overlooked. It was a one-year-only model, making any original example a rare find today.
Collectors prize the Model B for its direct connection to a landmark year in automotive history. It offers the quintessential '32 Ford "Deuce" look that became the foundation for hot rodding. Because so many were converted to V8 power over the decades, finding a stock, numbers-matching 4-cylinder car is a challenge. These original examples are highly valued by purists who appreciate the car as it was originally built.
Buying Tips
- Verify the engine is the original 4-cylinder. Many Model Bs were swapped with V8s, so confirming originality is key to value for a stock example.
- Inspect the frame and body thoroughly for rust, especially in the floor pans, cowl, and rear frame sections. Original, untouched steel bodies are far more valuable than modified or reproduction fiberglass ones.
- Determine the car's history. Many '32 Fords have been modified into hot rods. A car that has been chopped, channeled, or had its roof filled will have a different value than a factory-stock vehicle.
- Body style dictates value. Roadsters and coupes are the most sought-after and expensive, while sedans and pickups offer a more affordable entry into '32 Ford ownership.
