Deluxe Background: After building nearly five million Model A Fords
from 1928 through 1931, Ford introduced a completely new car for
the 1932 model year. The new 1932 Fords were completely redesigned
from front to rear. The fenders were fully crowned and had
dramatically, flowing proportions and the radiator shell was gently
rounded with a separate, vertical grill assembly. The bodies were
also completely redesigned to have a lower belt line, a lower top
line, a raked windshield and the running boards were mounted
directly to the frame, which, gave the car a lower and more modern
appearance. The 1932 Ford would be a one-year only body design that
would later become the most iconic Ford ever built. The popularity
of the 1932 Ford cannot be overstated. Nearly 85 years later, the
1932 Ford is still the one of the most significant and sought after
cars ever built. Two models were built during 1932. The Model 18,
which was powered by a new, V-8 engine and the four-cylinder, Model
B. The Model B engine was a redesigned and significantly improved
Model A engine. The power was increased from 40 to 50 horsepower
and the engine featured a balanced crankshaft and a mechanical fuel
pump instead of the old, gravity system used on the Model As. The
intake and exhaust ports were improved and the engine had a
redesigned camshaft and cylinder head. The new Model B engine
proved to be robust and was considered my many to be more reliable
than the troublesome new V-8. 1932 Ford Model B Deluxe Info: This
1932 Ford Model B Deluxe Four door Sedan is a very original car
that was just removed from a long-term collection. It has had some
light cosmetic restoration over the years but has never been taken
apart or restored. The body and fenders are all Henry Ford,
original steel. There is no fiberglass or reproduction sheet metal
on this car. The body is original and rock solid. The doors open
and close as they should and fit the body with even gaps and
margins. The hood aligns properly with the radiator shell and cowl.
The fenders are just as smooth underneath as they are on the top.
Underneath, the frame and chassis components are original and clean
showing traces of original paint and retaining most of its original
hardware. There is no evidence of any rust damage, neglect or
repair. The iconic and original 1932 radiator shell and grill are
original and excellent. This is a super solid and straight car.
This 1932 Ford was likely repainted once many years ago. Today,
this paint shows overall wear but has a charming look to it. The
interior appears to be partially original and shows minimal wear.
It is very clean and matches the personality of the rest of the
car. The chrome and stainless trim items such as the original
bumpers, headlights, cowl lights, tail lights, and hubcaps are in
good original condition. This is a very clean and presentable car
that looks good inside and out. The car has its original, 50
horsepower Model B engine. For reliable driving, it has been fitted
with an aftermarket Tillotson carburetor, which is fed through a
modern, electric fuel pump. The car starts easily and runs well.
The car is equipped with its original 18 wire wheels, which have
been fitted with older, replacement white wall tires. This Deluxe
Fordor Sedan is fitted with many factory and period accessories.
The car has the rare, dual, side mounted spare tires-a feature
rarely seen on 1932 Fords. It also has cowl lights, dual
taillights, a rear mounted trunk rack, wind wings and bud vases in
the interior. Original 1932 Fords rarely become available in todays
collector car marketplace. Most original cars were modified or
built into hot rods many years ago. Finding an original, unmolested
example of a 1932 Ford that has never been completely restored or
modified is certainly a rare find. This Model B Deluxe Fordor is a
very usable and authentic example of an iconic 1932 Ford that will
become a great addition to any collection.
