1932 was a landmark year for Ford Motor Company. It marked the debut of the now-classic “Deuce”, and the flathead V-8 that would soldier on in various guises for 22 years. But not every potential buyer was looking for innovation or more power and Ford management made sure the venerable four-cylinder Model A mill was still available, although slightly updated and considered a B at 200.5-cid with 50-hp; a three-speed manual transmission was standard.

This rare Model B pickup is reported as “mostly original with a repaint.” It retains its steel body that sits on a black chassis and displays a tilt-out windshield, windshield visor, side-mounted spare, mirror and pinstripes on the belt molding. Bumpers - front and rear, twin taillights, wire wheels, Ford center caps, front-mounted horn, bright headlight buckets and distinctive grille make this an unmistakable and attractive offering for those with early American personal-use trucks as their passion.
