    The Model B wis a Ford automobile wi production startin wi model year 1932 an endin wi 1934. It wis a muckle updatit version o the Model A an wis replaced bi the 1935 Ford Model 48. Strictly speakin, the Model B wis a fower-cylinder caur wi an improved version o the ingine uised in the Model A, but Ford also began producing a very similar car with Ford's new Flathead V‑8 engine. The V‑8 caur wis marketit as the Model 18, though it is commonly cawed the Ford V‑8, an, ither than the ingine, is virtually indistinguishable frae the Model B.
    Up tae this time, Ford haed produced anerlie ane "model" at each time wi range o body options an retained the idea o a single basic platform, despite the ingine choice an twa associatit model designations. (This explains why the colloquial name "Ford V‑8" bi itself wis sufficiently descriptive in the early 1930s; it wis the Ford wi a V‑8, unlike in later decades, when the paradigm o various models tae a make became universal.) Model B an Model 18 Fords came in a lairge variety o body styles: twa-door roadster, twa-door cabriolet, fower-door phaeton, twa-door an fower-door sedans, fower-door 'woodie" station wagon, twa-door Victoria, twa-door convertible sedan, Panel an sedan deliveries, five-window coupe, a sport coupe (stationary softtop) an the three-window Deluxe Coupe. Prices ranged frae US$460 for the roadster an the coupe's $490 tae the $650 convertible sedan. Production totals numbered frae 12,597 for the roadster tae 124,101 for the twa-door sedan. Nouadays, the roadster an coupe ar maist sought efter, as these body styles ar popular for streetrods an intact examples hae become rare.
    The Model 18 wis the first law-priced, mass-marketit caur tae include a V‑8 ingine, an important milestone in American automotive heestory. The V‑8 wis ratit at 65 hp (48 kW) when introduced, but pouer increased significantly wi improvements tae the carburetor an ignition in later years. This ingine choice wis more popular than the fower-cylinder, which wis essentially a variant of the Model A engine with improvements to balancing and lubrication. In both models the fuel tank was located in the lower rear of the car, as is typical in modern cars, rather than in the cowl as in the Model A and late Model T, requiring Ford to include an engine-driven fuel pump rather than rely on gravity feed.
    Today, the 1932 Model B is a hichtlie collectible caur that fowk will pay thoosans o dollars tae restore tae exact original style. Durin the WWII period the Model Bs an V‑8s wur frequently altered intae hot rods. This continued intae the 1960s on a lairge scale, being notit in popular media o that time via a hit sang. Since the 1970s, 1932 bodies an frames hae been reproduced either in fiberglass or lately in steel, which haes helped resolve bodywork shortages, an increased the number o "rods" being creatit or restored. Those that ar made ar aften vera expensive. A typical auto-show hot rod mey be $60,000 or mair.
