The Ford Motor Company (commonly known as Ford) is an American multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, United States. It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. The 1932 Ford refers to three models of automobile produced by Ford Motors between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, the Model 18, and the Model 46. These succeeded the Model A.

Ford launched a completely new vehicle for 1932. The 1932 range would mark Ford's departure from the Model A four-cylinder cars and the all-new flathead V-8 line taking center stage. The V8 was marketed as the model 18 in its initial years but was commonly known as the Ford V-8. The Model 18 was the first low-priced, mass-marketed car to have a V8 engine, an important milestone in the American automotive industry.
