1932 Ford Model B Serial Numbers
The De Pere, Wis., automotive archeologist recently uncovered the lone surviving prototype 1932 Ford Model Y (Model 19). The Model Y is historically significant for the lone fact that it was the first Ford Motor Co. Model built for a sales market outside of the United States. While the ’32 Ford is forever associated with the famed flathead V8 engine introduced the same year, roughly a third of the approximately 323,000 passenger units produced in 1932 were four-cylinder Model B vehicles. (The Model B engine was a refined, upgraded version of the venerable Model A four.) The V8 carried the Model 18 designation.
This 1932 Ford Model B 82 is a closed-cab pickup powered by a 221ci V8 paired with a 3-speed floor-shift transmission. The truck was reportedly restored by a previous owner and is finished in black with red pinstriping and wheels as well as an oak plank pickup bed.

Not everything went smoothly: there were production problems with the 1932 Ford Model B and Model 18. According to contemporary reports, 5.5 million people turned out to see the new Fords upon introduction, and within days the firm claimed 200,000 orders. The question was, could Henry Ford meet the demand? Perhaps the biggest problem faced by the buying public was the fact that there just wasn't much money around. People were either unwilling or unable to answer Henry's call as they had in 1928 and 1929. Important though this fact was, it only served to disguise the real problem: Ford just could not deliver.

But the 1932 DeLuxe Ford coupe attracted 21,175 buyers. Thirteen million people saw the car over the first weekend, but many of the 1000 or so cars gracing dealership showrooms were to stay where they were, for dealers were uncertain when replacements would arrive.
In addition, it's doubtful they were aware of the problems that would soon follow. The people who had no trouble obtaining a new Ford were those with clout. Actor Wallace Beery took delivery of two DeLuxe Tudors and one station wagon, while Buster Keaton and Louis B. Mayer both became proud V-8 owners. Ford obviously didn't foresee the production problems that were to delay the delivery of his new V-8 and thereby allow the other manufacturers, notably Chevrolet, to get almost a five-month lead on him for the 1932 model year.
Nor did Henry anticipate the unreliability of the car he had just spent millions developing, and he certainly didn't understand the fact that although he was prepared to risk all to stimulate the economy, it wouldn't be enough in the depths of the Depression. During 1932 Ford lost almost $75 million. Nearly all of the first 2000 V-8 motors needed to have their camshafts, pushrods, valves, valve guides, and front cover changed. While the next 2000 or so would need at least a new front cover, even then none of the first 4250 cars could be sold; instead, they were to be used as demonstrators.
