Summary

[edit]
Description

The 1932 Ford was available as the 201 cu in 4 cylinder Model B or the 221 cu in Flathead V8 Model 18, built on the same platform, they shared body, chassis and trim. Replacing the Model A, the new Ford not only got the new V8 option, but was on a longer wheelbase, got a lower hoodline and a new chassis, it was a much more comfortable car. The fuel tank was relocated from the cowl as in Model A, to the lower rear of the car, as is typical in modern cars. Again available in Standard or Deluxe and in a wide variety of body styles. The 3 window or Deluxe Coupe got rear hinged or 'suicide' doors The first hot rods were old cars (most often Fords, typically Model Ts, Model As or Model Bs), modified to reduce weight. Typical modifications were removal of convertible tops, hoods, bumpers, windshields, and fenders; chopping and channeling the body; and modifying the engine by tuning and/or replacing with a more powerful type.

This car stripped of its running boards, fenders and hood, has a roof chop and runs a Flathead V8
