Frequently Asked Questions about the Ford Model B

The Ford Model 48 of 1935 came after the Model B, and it was sold only with the V-8. The four-cylinder Model B ran from 1932 to 1934 alongside the V-8 cars, known as the Model 18 in 1932 and the Model 40 in 1933 and 1934. Ford discontinued the four-cylinder engine for 1935, and the Model 48 kept the 112-inch wheelbase of the 1933-1934 cars.
Ford built the four-cylinder Model B from 1932 to 1934. It succeeded the Model A and was introduced at the same time as the V-8 Model 18, which Ford showed to the public on March 31, 1932. The four-cylinder engine stayed available in the restyled 1933 and 1934 cars, and Ford dropped it for 1935.
The Ford Model B used a 200.5-cubic-inch L-head four-cylinder engine rated at 50 horsepower. It was a development of the Model A engine, which had the same displacement and made 40 horsepower, with a new crankshaft, upgraded pressure lubrication and a fuel pump. A fully counterweighted crankshaft followed late in 1932. The V-8 Model 18 sold beside it was rated at 65 horsepower.
The quickest check is the fuel pump. A Ford Model B engine has a cam-driven fuel pump, or a port for one, on the right side of the block, while the Model A was gravity fed from a cowl-mounted tank and had no pump. The Model A Ford Club of America's technical advice adds that the Model A engine has an external oil return tube on its right side and the Model B does not.
Yes, Ford first used the Model B name on a touring car built from 1904 to 1906. According to The Henry Ford, it was the company's first four-cylinder car and the first with its engine mounted up front. It had a 284-cubic-inch engine rated at 24 horsepower, a 92-inch wheelbase and a $2,000 price, and the museum notes that it sold poorly.
Edsel Ford, then president of Ford Motor Company, supervised the design of the 1932 Ford, and The Henry Ford credits the car's proportions and styling to him. The Model B shared its frame, bodies and most trim with the V-8 Model 18, so the two look almost identical. Its four-cylinder engine was a reworked Model A unit, while Henry Ford directed development of the V-8.
No, Ford did not sell a Model C in the United States in the 1930s. Some enthusiasts call the 1933-1934 four-cylinder engine a Model C, partly because most Model B cylinder heads carry a cast letter C, but the name does not appear in Ford literature. Ford had used Model C for an early two-cylinder car, and Ford in Britain built a small Model C from 1934 to 1937.
For 1933 the four-cylinder Ford moved to a restyled car on a longer 112-inch wheelbase, up from 106 inches in 1932, with a new frame and a more streamlined look. The V-8 version of the 1933 car was designated the Model 40, and the four-cylinder engine remained available beside it in both 1933 and 1934.
