You usually see them in front

If they had kept that B-400 in the family all these years and then sold it in 2024 (assuming the statute of limitations on stolen vehicles had run out), it would bring in more money in one fell swoop than ALL the penny-ante money they got by robbing struggling grocers, filling stations, small businesses and near-bankrupt banks put together! I don't follow early Ford V-8 prices, but I gotta' believe this one would sell for more than $100,000. V-8 cross-over guys on this site, what do you think? Is that low or high? I wonder where this particular B-400 is today, if it survived the past 92 years?

In 1932 you probably had to rob a bank to afford one......

One special type was the flathead V8-engined B400, of which only 842 were made. This was a two-door cabrio coach, a convertible coupe with fixed side window frames. Most of them were exported for overseas markets or ambassador use. Since sales were poor, it was soon discontinued, becoming the rarest of 1932 Fords.

Roadster: $495
Coupe: $490
Convertible sedan: $650
Tudor (two-door) sedan: $450
