Ford produced three cars between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, Model 18 & Model 40. These succeeded the Model A. The Model B continued to offer Ford's proven four cylinder and was available from 1932 to 1934. The V8 (Model 18 in 1932, Model 40 in 1933 & 1934) was succeeded by the Model 48. . The same bodies were available on both 4 cylinder Model Bs and V8 Model. The B was intended to be the big seller, drawing customers toward the V8, but in fact the v8 models far outsold the Bs four, with B sales at 133539 against 298647 for the V8 Today, the 1932 Model B, although always a little bit in the shadow of the V-8, is a highly collectible car and people will pay thousands of dollars to restore one to original specification.
The '34 Ford V-8 is infamous as being the Bonnie and Clyde "death car". Both of the outlaws were killed in their stolen car in a May '34 ambush by law enforcement officers in Louisiana. The V8 was also the getaway car featured in the Johnny Depp film Public Enemy about the gangster john Dillinger.
