The new-for-1932 Model B four-cylinder Ford was a highly-developed motorcar. Like its V-8 counterpart it was simple yet elegant in its design, sturdy in construction and combined beauty of line with updated performance. Acceleration was quite respectable, as was the 65- to 70-mph top speed. Safety and comfort met the ever-increasing demands from the era’s drivers, and the quickly seen touches of quality that add to the pleasure and pride of ownership. Ford Motor Company had again furnished satisfying transportation to their dedicated clientele – then as now.

The Model B Roadster being offered has a recently completed high-quality professional frame-off restoration to reported original factory specifications. The Model B is powered by a 200.5-cid, 50-hp inline four-cylinder engine that is paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt by Rick Fallucca. It is finished in Brewster Green with black fenders and belt molding and complemented by powdercoated Apple Green wire wheels and a BR5 brown leather interior and a T14 soft-top from LeBaron Bonney. The Ford is nicely outfitted with a rumbleseat, dual cowllights, dual taillights, windwings, exhaust tip extention, trunk rack, dual sidemounts, whitewall tires, chromed spare tire tread covers and leather-strapped pedestal mirrors. Photographs reveal the undercarriage to be as nicely presented as the rest of the car. Adding distinction is the handsome vee-type radiator grille, gracefully executed roof line, canted windshield, large hubcaps and overall stylishness.
