Rather than just updating the Model A, Ford launched a completely
new vehicle for 1932. The V8 was marketed as the Model 18 in its
initial year but was commonly known as the Ford V-8. It had the new
flathead V8 engine. The Model 18 was the first low-priced,
mass-marketed car to have a V8 engine, an important milestone in
the American automotive industry. The 221 cu in (3.6 L) V8 was
rated at 65 hp (48 kW), but power increased significantly with
improvements to the carburetor and ignition in succeeding years.
The V8 was more popular than the four-cylinder, which was
essentially a variant of the Model A engine with improvements to
balancing and lubrication. Model B was derived with as few
technical changes as possible to keep costs low. Other than the
engine, and badging on the headlamp support bar (later: grille) and
hub caps, it was virtually indistinguishable from the V-8. Its
intention was to be a price leader, and as it offered more than the
popular Model A, this should have been a winning formula. In fact,
the new and only slightly more expensive V-8 stole the show and
finally made it obsolete. The V8 engine was previously exclusive to
Lincoln products, which in 1932 switched to V12 engines only.
