It was introduced in 1932 as the replacement for the Model A and was available in several body styles: two- and four-door sedans, two-door cabriolet, three-window and five-window coupe, and a phaeton with retractable top. The Model 40 featured a new V8 engine, which was the first mass-produced engine with an 8-cylinder design.
