31 vs 32 Model A

[Mike V. Florida]

Let's see if I remember this correctly,

In 1932 there were 4 models available at different times throughout the year, Model A, Model B, Model 18,

The A as mentioned above until the end of March 1932.
The B Four cylinder throughout the year and into 1934.
The model 18 V8 March of 1932 until 1934.

Feel free to correct me if I have this wrong.

I count 3, not 4, different models for 1932. The Model 18 designation is specific to the 1932 year.

Due to nagging difficulties in both engine development and production, the V-8 did not make it to the market place until mid-to-late spring of 1932. (and it was a horrible engine, with many 'bugs' to be worked out).

The 1933 & '34 was a Model 40.

A great many old timers referred to the 4 cylinder '33 & '34 engines as a Model C; although in some more formal circles it is sometimes referred to as a Model B. Very few '33 & '34 cars had a 4-cylinder, with most of the numbers being represented by pick-up trucks. The Model C designation helps distinguish the '33 & '34 from the much more familiar 1932 Model B.
