1932 Ford Roadster B History 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 leaving soon the new Plymouth with its four that was derived from a Maxwell design 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 like the commercial cars described below were only availabe as Standards and a few other came only in Deluxe trim. There were two-door roadster two-door cabriolet four-door phaeton two-door and four-door sedans four-door 'woodie" station wagon two-door Victoria two-door convertible sedan panel and sedan deliveries five-window coupe a sport coupe the three-window Deluxe Coup and pickup. Prices ranged from US$495 for the roadster $490 for the coups and $650 for the convertible sedan. Production totals numbered from 12597 for the roadster to 124101 for the two-door sedan. Ford sold 298647 V8-powered 18s in 1932 and except for the fact Ford could not keep up with 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 133539 in part because the V8 cost just US$10 more.
