Ford produced three cars between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, the Model 18, and the Model 46. These succeeded the Model A. The Model B had an updated four cylinder and was available from 1932 to 1934. The V8 was available in the Model 18 in 1932, and in the Model 46 in 1933 & 1934. The 18 was the first Ford fitted with the flathead V‑8. The company also replaced the Model AA truck with the Model BB, available with either the four- or eight-cylinder engine.
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 cost low. Other than the engine, and badging on 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.
Although there is a certain visual similarity with the predecessor Model A, the car was new. While the Model A has a simple frame with two straight longitudinal members, the new car got a longer wheelbase, and an outward curved, double-dropped chassis. In both models the fuel tank is relocated from the cowl as in Model A and late Model T, where its back formed the dash, to the lower rear of the car, as is typical in modern vehicles; thus requiring Ford to include an engine-driven fuel pump rather than rely on gravity feed. While the V8 was developed from scratch, the B just had an improved four-cylinder Model A engine of 201 cu in (3.29 L) displacement producing 50 horsepower (37 kW; 51 PS).
When Ford introduced the Model A in late 1927, there were several competitors also offering four-cylinder cars, among them Chevrolet, Dodge, Durant, or Willys. That changed within a few years, soon leaving the new Plymouth the sole major make in the Ford's price class with a four.
Although sharing a common platform, Model Bs and Model 18s came not only in Standard and Deluxe trim, they were available in a large variety of body styles. Some of them, such as the commercial cars described below, were only available as Standards, and a few other came only in Deluxe trim. There were two-door roadster, two-door cabriolet, four-door phaeton, two and four-door sedans, four-door "woodie" station wagon, two-door convertible sedan, panel and sedan deliveries, five-window coupe, a sport coupe (stationary softtop), the three-window Deluxe Coupe, and pickup. The wooden panels were manufactured at the Ford Iron Mountain Plant in the Michigan Upper Peninsula from Ford owned lumber. One of the more well known and popular models was the two-door Victoria, which was largely designed by Edsel Ford. It was a smaller version of the Lincoln Victoria coupe, built on the Lincoln K-series chassis with a V8 engine; by 1933 Lincoln no longer used a V8 and only offered the V12.
Prices ranged from US$495[2] for the roadster, $490 for the coupes, and $650 for the convertible sedan. Production totals numbered from 12,597 for the roadster to 124,101 for the two-door sedan. Ford sold 298,647 V8-powered 18s in 1932,[3] and except for the fact Ford could not keep up with V8 demand, the essentially identical four-cylinder B would have been a sales disaster: dealers switched customers to them from the V8, and even then sold only 133,539,[3] in part because the V8 cost just US$10 more.
All 1932 Fords-V8-8s and Model Bs-came with black fenders, wire wheels, and a rear-mounted spare wheel (side mounted on cars equipped with a tail gate). Options included single or twin sidemounts, luggage rack, clock, interior and exterior mirrors, and choice of leather or Broadcloth (closed cars) interior material.
No matter what you build I love your take on everything. If you think bout it.. you are an artist and your media is plastic glue and paint and you make your own interpretation. You are pretty good at it to. Anyway thank you once again for showing us another kit and how to assemble it and sharing tips.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
This is a darling car - looks so good with the weathering. Thanks for a great build again.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
Like they say less is more looks like a barn find great for the beginner another gem thanks again.

nice barn find

Love the rusty, old, used look to this one. Fantastic stuff as always. Great vid thanks for sharing.

Nice job adding weathering and patina to this build...
I live in Belarus and have always dreamed of assembling a vintage Ford model of the early 20th century, I found nothing but a model t, and that's when I despaired, I saw your video
Hello, looks good. Have you heard that Hobby Lobby has closed all it's stores? Saw it on the internet and they let all of the employees go too without pay. They closed them Friday the 3RD for the virus going around. This thing is putting a damper on everybody. Please stay safe and take care that goes for everybody. thank you for the build.
I don't get involved in the internet rumor stuff and it's not something I looked into. I'm sure once the virus stuff is all over they'll be open again.
There was an article about how the police had to enforce the quarantine rules for businesses, and force them to close. They were trying to be considered an essential business because they sell materials that you can make a respiratory protection mask with, but failed.
Nice build, you make the dry brushing look so realistic and you make it look so easy to do 👍👍
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Kinda reminds me of the Waltons. Expecting to.see John boy getting out of it. Great build.
Haha, thanks, and thanks for watching!
His was a five window...but it looked just like this one! I'd like to see a 34 1/2 Ton stake bed.
I built a 29 and painted it like John Boys car. His was a five window but the one I had was a three window but it still looks pretty much the same. I put it in a display case with a card actually signed by Richard Thomas.
John boys was a model A , just so you know .
Great video thanks .
Perfect example of a typical Post War used car. Sat four years during the war so it looks bad, but they were good runners that lasted another ten years or so. Thanks...
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
With what you did with this kit, you could make a "in the weeds" diorama!
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
🎉It's My Birthday!!!! 🎉 love those old looking cars
HAPPY BDAY fellow modeler
Happy Birthday and enjoy your hobby!
@@hpiguy I got lots of train and ship models to build
Happy birthday! 🎂
@@joeshmoe9978 than you Joe!!
Great weathering detail work! I just got one of these from my local Ollies, so I'm researching builds now. I really didn't like paying the 1/25 scale price for a 1/32 scale kit, but I've noticed that seems to be the norm everywhere now. I'm impressed with the detail and I'm beginning to appreciate the size for display purposes; not too big, not too small.
I had this kit growing up. Was my first glue up kit
Cool!
Never built a 1/32 scale kit before. I think you have made up my mind to buy a few Heller and Airfix 1/32 kits and do a bit of weathering. They are cheap too. Good weathering job too, you did not go too far it looks just about right.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
Fantastic kit BUILD and video, thanks for sharing.
I really loved that horn sound effect! Chris you're a very funny guy. Well done buddy.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during difficult times..
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
My son got me the ford Thunderbird in the line. Cant wait to build it.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
The weathering really sets it off great build Chris
Thank you Ian!
My second time through this vid. I got my kit in yesterday and ignoring your recommendations, I am doing it exactly as you have. I like it. Mine will eventually appear in a diorama with a '30's 1/32 aircraft. Love your work!! I also have a Plymouth Roadster from the original Pyro release.
Glad it was helpful!
I remember those bottles from the early sixties back then they were only 50 cents they were fun to build in my younger years
Thank you!
Your stuff is very enjoyable to watch! Please keep doing what you're doing! I am a huge fan of your You Tube channel!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great video. You really are a wizard with craft paint. :)
Thanks Phil!
"Ya know, I know I've probably said this before?" But I really LOVE the music you play during the paint process.
It REALLY sets the mood and keeps you tuned in. Liked the colors you chose, they really did go well, I think!
Another very cool video Chris, you've done it again. While we are all in a "stay at home" kinda time, this for me
really cuts through & helps pass the time. I can stay inspired to try some of your ideas on my model builds,
only I'll try some different colors!
Thanks, glad you like it!
Pretty kool always dig the weathering
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Love the weathering great build as always Chris 👍👍

Great job on the weathering Chris! I love the 32 Ford!
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
Very cool. Thank you for doing some of the smaller models. I've been getting 1 of my grandkids into the hobby and these are perfect. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Take care of yourself, family, and friends and remember to Have Fun.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
Amazing as always. Keep on gluing.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
AMT also released a 58-60 Ford Thunderbird in 1/32 that would be a fun build . Great build Chris !
I agree, will hope they reissues all of the 1/32 kits!
they have a ford ranchero in 1/32 scale and it builds just as nice as the 32 ford
I'll be hoping they reissue it soon!
You did it again. Great looking build.
Thanks!
I love all of your videos I do a lot of models myself and I found it helpful to follow your tips and suggestions. Keep up the good work and stay safe brother with these hard times of COVID-19.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
@@hpiguy You're welcome I enjoy all the neat things you do with the models. Thank you for doing RUclips videos.
💘 the way you did this build.. She looks fresh off of the farm!!.. Keep up the grest work Bud!!
Looks like the old Pyro / Lifelike 35 Cent kits with some parts plated.... loved those old kits, cheap, nice model cars
Right on!
Wonderful build Chris!! Your weathering and ageing tips are excellent, well done!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
What would be fun is to build three one would look like it just came off the showroom.
Then one like this one and the third as a chopped hot rod .
Yup, agreed!
Great work as always I would love to see you build a 135 scale Willy Jeep. 🙂
Nice weathering on this kit
Thanks man!
You are a master modeler my friend!!!👍👍👍💪💪💪💪🙃🙃🙃🙃
Thank you for spending some of your day on my channel!
Great video, I've been super curious about these smaller scale kits! Your finished model looks cool, I think I'll try one now!
Thanks, it may be small in size but it's big in fun!
I will be looking for 70 's Chevy Luv and Ford Courier when i finally get the $$ for them . Nice job as always bud .
xChug Chugx same
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
hpiguys Workshop I enjoy all of your kits, theyre always a pleasure to watch. They give me ideas like the idea of segmenting a build into sub assembly's
I wouldn't buy a model in 1:32-but this one looks really good.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Very realistic !
Looks great Chris
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!

Thank you for spending some of your day on my channel!
Really nice kit. I ordered 1as I passed up 1/32 scale in the past, now I wish I'd paid more attention to that scale. Thanks for the video and your weathering techniques are fantastic.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
I Like It Sir KUTAW, I Actually Have a 1/32 AVANTI by AMT From 2015. Stay Safe n Healthy n God Bless All.

Another quick little build....For anyone to give a try. Nice job as always my friend.
I posted a picture of another 1/32 Kit for you to check out on the Facebook page.
Saw it, thanks for posting!
Looks like you can build this kit to your own personal taste..
Nice work on this mini kit mate, great weathering as always
Thanks Gary!
Great job. Love the weathered look.
Thank you!
Great kit
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
I like your painting and weathering .
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Looks good! I would like to do some models too, i dont know if i have the paints... lol
Modelroundup.com is happy to ship you all the paints you'd need.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this kit quite a bit!
😎 decals you can also add to this build if you so desire...
nice one
RJ
Thank you!
Beauty!
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
This would look good with 1\25 scale low profile tires on 25th scale steellies. Put hubcaps on to hide the lug pattern and it would look like a beefed up shine runner!
Good idea!
Just might start scale modelling, Again. Cheers
Enjoy!
Your vids are great!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
You should do a '63 corvette
On a 32 in my youth I used 2 inch masking tape on the roof and it looked just like cloth after it was painted looked so real I left it on .
That 32 Ford would look good in a diorama parked next to a 1930's air racer, like a 1/32 Gee Bee.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Amazing
Thanks Eric!
That would look nice next to the black 32 Five Window I built a little while back!
Yeah, I hope to see them reissue lots of these 1/32s!
Great Grandpa living though the great depression, buys a 32 ford second hand and drives it for the rest of his life. He sure got his money's worth.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
I know you all use the free RUclips music to avoid copyright issues I just found it amusing to hear Andy's Hobby Headquarters opening music during the painting sequence lol.
Thought it sounded familiar when I saved it from the YT music. He's a good guy. Another positive fun modeler.
@@hpiguy Totally agree. Like you I like listening to you guys while I build
Wow- so adorably cute! this almost looks like the teeny tiny little model car that came with the 1st AMT garage build diorama kit! I've never done 1/32 scale cars, would this be in the vein of say, 1/72 scale for us aircraft builders? Great color choice and weathering!
It would match 1/32 planes, everything in scale is the same.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Hey! Will you do a build review on the Tyrone Malone’s AMT Kenworth Hideout Truck?
I did an unboxing of it on the Bandit build, no plans to build it soon.
Nice build. How did you do the weathering on the body? I would have liked to see that.
Exact same way I weathered the fenders and undercarriage. Drybrushing with rust colors. Thanks!
Do you use the same brand primer and paints? Are you clearing the chrome parts?
Every brand of paint is listed in the painting section of the video, along with how I dulled and rusted the chrome.
It's been along time since I built models , how do you back wash like the grill on that 32 ?????
I have no idea how you were able to have the pieces stay in place mine kept falling apart
Glue helps.
nice work! i like to put that body on my rc chassis. can you tell me please, what wheel base it is? that would be great :)
There is a ruler next to the car in the pics and the title screen.
I tried using a silver pencil like you suggested and I have no luck. It seem like the lead is to hard. The lead does not want to stay on the parts I am using it on and it does not seem to go on heavy enough. Do you think my lead is to hard?
I think mine is a Prismacolor from Hobby Lobby if a brand name is desired.
once again what a great looking model with the weathering . I have two questions for you . what is the name brand of your paint booth and where id you get the board with the grid on it ???
I've reviewed the paint booth.
The board is just a cutting mat, google cutting mat and thousands will come up.
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
Cute simple little kit. Nice build as always
Get people to do model kits... Yes, YES! Come to the dark side! No cookies here, but lots of styrene! Mwhahahahahahahahaha!
Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
please up date us on larger scale model cars (larger than 1:24).....1:16 ? what else is available ?
Could of panted the rims and then used blue stickems to cover them up so you can paint the tires
Many different ways to get the job done.
I am once again asking for tips on building my nostalgia funny car it’s my 3rd car I’ve ever built I’ve never painted a model or assembled a funny car I plan to make this the best and cleanest model I’ve ever made plz help
The review videos are where you'll pick up tips and tricks. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, and thanks for coming along for the fun!
