Vehicle Description
1932 Ford Model-B�Deluxe 4-Door Sedan. Older �Restoration.� Runs
good. Complete with dual sidemounts, cowl lights, wind wings, dual
taillights, trunk rack and more. Original 4-cylinder engine and
3-Speed transmission. �A rare and desirable car! 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. This 1932 Model B Deluxe Fordor 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 today's 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.
