1932 Ford Model B

This exquisite 1932 Ford B-400 in our McDonald, PA showroom. The B-400 was a two-door convertible sedan that is considered extremely rare and is often cited as the rarest of all the 1932 Ford models with only 842 units produced. It is estimated that there are less than 75 still in existence.

The B-400 was a one-year-only body style that didn't catch on with the public and was quickly discontinued, but a significant portion of the cars that were built were exported for overseas markets or for use as embassy cars. This particular car, originally a right-hand drive, was used just as that in British Columbia, Canada.

The metalwork, paint and interior are simply remarkable. Prior to a professional restoration, the body was a rust-free example, and the owner sourced new NOS Ford fenders which are nearly impossible to find. The custom chassis was built by So-Cal Speed Shop and features all top-of-the-line stainless features including Buick finned brake drum covers.

This special car is powered by a cleverly disguised 383 Stroker V8 coupled with a TCI 700r4 Street Fighter overdrive transmission and a custom Ford 9” rear differential with posi-traction.

This car isn’t just a build - it’s a rolling piece of automotive history, fully realized and elevated for modern driving and admiration. With only 387 break-in miles and the fact that it has never been shown, this car is ready for the show circuit, Goodguy's events or any local cruse-in that comes up.
