This exquisite 1932 Ford B-400 in our McDonald, PA showroom. The
B-400 was a two-door convertible sedan that is considered extremely
rare and is often cited as the rarest of all the 1932 Ford models
with only 842 units produced. It is estimated that there are less
than 75 still in existence.
The B-400 was a one-year-only body style that didn't catch on with
the public and was quickly discontinued, but a significant portion
of the cars that were built were exported for overseas markets or
for use as embassy cars. This particular car, originally a
right-hand drive, was used just as that in British Columbia,
Canada.
The metalwork, paint and interior are simply remarkable. Prior to a
professional restoration, the body was a rust-free example, and the
owner sourced new NOS Ford fenders which are nearly impossible to
find. The custom chassis was built by So-Cal Speed Shop and
features all top-of-the-line stainless features including Buick
finned brake drum covers.
This special car is powered by a cleverly disguised 383 Stroker V8
coupled with a TCI 700r4 Street Fighter overdrive transmission and
a custom Ford 9" rear differential with posi-traction.

This car isn't just a build - it's a rolling piece of automotive
history, fully realized and elevated for modern driving and
admiration. With only 387 break-in miles and the fact that it has
never been shown, this car is ready for the show circuit, Goodguy's
events or any local cruse-in that comes up.
