Re: 1932 VIN Numbers
B began as AB, started at 5,000,000 (extension of Model A numbering)...
V8 18-1 was first. All were numbered sequentially from there (talking USA production here) through end of '32 and onward in same sequence until the ends of production for B and 221 engines in the US.
First couple thousand V8's were factory owned demonstrators that were eventually rebuilt and sold as used cars, so earliest numbers probably never reached private owners.
