Dan-H Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Can’t find information as to what exactly constitutes a model 40 Ford. Seems like I get conflicting answers. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 After Model A they had the Model B in 32 which was an improved 4 cylinder. Also in 32 they had the V8 which was designated Model 18 (first 8). The 33and 34 were a Model 40, the 35 was a Model 48 and the 36 was a Model 68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flivverking Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Model 40 of 1933/34 was the 4 cylinder models only I think? And the V8 of those years the model 46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 From what I saw (not a Ferd person) in 33-34 the Model C was a 4 cyl, and the Model 40 was a flathead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Model C was never an official name from ford. It was just natural progression from Model B plus it has a letter "C" on the head which actually is to designate balanced crank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flivverking Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The C letter cast on the Ford 4 cylinder head,just denotes a change in the head design .Like the 3 bolt water pump I believe. Which was one more step of evolution over the last design change..the B head which was the next version inline over the stock Model A head. It's an urban legend that the "C"on the head stood for a balanced crank which in was in use on the those 4 banget models or that the C stood for the Model of the 1933/34 ,4 cylinder Cars.
