Henry was ahead of his time and relentless the first couple decades. But to look at it another way is how little has changed in 89 years. Trucks are basically the same crude behemoths they always were. The main advances to come were hydraulic dual circuit brakes, Ethyl Fuel allowing high compression and more power, and ball joints and SLA front suspension in the 50's. Everything else is seasoning. - Sandy

In 1960 I bought a Ford 2 door v8 Tudor,, had trouble starting it, wrote to Ford USA, and they sent me a works manual by airmail, for free. When I got the logbook, it had been brought back from the USA, by none other than Randolph Turpin, the boxer. It was the one with the bullet nose like a propellor.

Rex Allison I'd also be interested in your Bonnie and Clyde info, if you're willing to share it. Back in the late 80's I was driving down a back road a fair bit outside of Atlanta, and saw a spotless Packard in a guy's front lawn, shiny black. Had to stop. He saw me looking, came out, invited me to look inside, chatted for about a half hour with him. He had been a mechanic for some guys who needed to get large quantities of alcohol from one place to another, quickly, back in the thirties. And the Packard was one of the cars he used to work on, and which he kept for his personal vehicle. Guy must have been in his eighties if he was a day, but was sharp as a tack about the differences on power, set ups, etc., of all the hot cars of the thirties. Wish I had had a tape recorder or videocam...a bit of authentic American History. My son was not yet born but I wish he could have taken that afternoon in.

The windshield was literally 7" tall after the Undoing of this Rare Car! They made few of these Cars before making the new 1933 V 8 That was made until late 1934! The 1932 was only produced for a few months from 1931 until mid 1932! SAD To see these Beautiful Cars DESTROYED Starting in the 1950`s! I appreciate them as is!

I rather have a modern care. Or at least one with hydraulic brakes even if the rear brake are drum brake. Electric wiper motors ar nice too. I rather have the cabin be built on a metal frame, not a wooden frame.. Today's engines and transmissions and other mechanical assemblies/ electrical last longer. With the AC running better fuel economy today at higher average rod speeds.. Don't get me wrong it would be fun to have one of these in brand new condition to drive around in nice cool weather where that V8 wouldn't overheat. But not a great daily driver in modern times.

Rex Allison Thanks. Glad I could add a little joy to the world. What is even a bit stranger regarding vehicle colors is that I toured the Harley factory in York PA with a grad school MBA/Accounting class. They were just beginning to transition to multiple wild color schemes. And they did NOT draw the line at pink...said it sold well among it's predominantly female ridership. Though if someone who wasn't born a woman rocked pink, I would think that either they were a fairly tough homosexual, or that it was a case of Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue". But for me, as a former rider (Norton 600cc Dominator, sold in UK, dual carb no filters, as fast as a 750), I had mine repainted. Shortly before, Tom Wolfe had written "Candy Apple Metalflake Orange..." something or other; I thought the orange was too bright, in the direct Florida sun. So I went with Candy Apple Metal Flake Apricot. Always got comments, don't recall any of them being negative. And of course, there is Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac", sliding down the street...

Not completely true. While Henry resisted change for the sake of change, he went in head first on the V8. His own engineers told him a monobloc V8 was impossible and it would bankrupt him to try. His response was "anything that can be drawn can be cast". He did hang on to the T far too long though.

Ford and Chevy were at each other's throats. Chevrolet upped Ford's 4 cylinder Model A in 1929 with a new OHV inline 6. Ford then upped Chevy in '32 with the flathead V8. Actually, horsepower ratings weren't that much apart. The early Ford V8s were noisy but powerful, but by the early 50's, they were very quiet. Ford then upped Chevy in 1954 with their modern "Y-block" OHV V8. Chevy countered in '55 with their OHV small block V8.

I guess it was sort of revolutionary, but it was still a valve-in-block flathead with cast babbitt bearings until 1937. The exhaust passed through the block, requiring a big cooling system. If only they would have gone to overhead valves! And Ford's stubborn resistance to abandon mechanical brakes was odd.

***** You came from the Roaster vid too huh?

Both make good engines, only the Ford can take more abuse, so technically more horsepower (if you know what your doing).

Great bit of nostalgia. But before we ooo and ah too much over Ford’s “innovative” V8 motor, let’s not forget that CHEVROLET introduced their V8 motor for the 1917/1918 Touring model. 😉

Other than a handful of computers and a few refinements, Ford forgot more that the modern car maker ever learned. As many Ford models, the Model A is a true world classic

Ah, the dawn of hotrodding. Thanks in part to the tinkering of amateur racers, in 10 years this same engine would be stroked out 13 inches, compression raised to 7:1, and horsepower nearly doubled.

The cylinder bore offset from the crank center, forgotten for decades, is considered an innovation when Yamaha introduced it to the motorcycle world a couple of years ago.

The only people who utterly disdained the Ford V8 were the hundreds of cops who found themselves chasing John Dillinger after the infamous hero of the poor jacked another V8 and flew through the hinterlands of mid-America,

cybertree I wrote a piece in the Seattle P-I some decades back as I expressed a real fondness for the guy. Dillinger was very intelligent and knew the depression was a contrived scam and wasn't about to fall into poverty with the rest of the nation. Much of what he took from banks he doled out to whomever needed help. He was a class act all the way and the sons of bitches who killed him were of the worst criminal ilk in American history, J. Edgar Hoover the Pooper and his FBI punks.

1932 Ford V8 weighs 526 lbs. (US), makes 65 hp and averages 19 mpg. The 2008 GM LS-3 weighs 418 lbs. makes 430 hp (6-1/2 times as much hp) and gets 27 mpg average. What a difference in technology over these 76 years. Who could have dreamed of such in 1932. And, the 1932 engine used sludge-inducing motor oil and leaded gasoline.

Actually. ..the famous bullet - ridden Dillinger car wasn't a Ford. It was, according to the Dillinger museum, a 1933 Essex - Terraplane 8 sedan. This car is on display at the museum. However, it's well known that Clyde Darrow's getaway car WAS a Ford V8.
