Description


Thank you for all your kind comments about my previous models. This one, available for Poser, has been modified and improved for DAZ Studio. Of course, it will be soon available in my store ( 3DClassics ) The license is the same that the license of the car used by the gang Barrow but can be easily modified with the template I shall give with the 3D model. The Model B was a Ford automobile produced between 1932 and 1934. It was a much updated version of the Model A and was replaced by the Model 48. Strictly speaking, the Model B was a four-cylinder car with an improved Model A engine with a displacement of 201 cu in (3.3 l) and 50hp, but Ford also began producing a very similar car with Ford's new flathead V-8 engine. The V-8 car was marketed as the Model 18, though it is commonly called the Ford V-8, and, other than the engine, is virtually indistinguishable from the Model B. Model B and Model 18 Fords came in a large variety of body styles: two-door roadster, two-door cabriolet, four-door phaeton, two-door and four-door sedans, four-door 'woodie" station wagon, two-door Victoria, two-door convertible sedan, Panel and sedan deliveries, five-window coupe, a sport coupe (stationary softtop), the three-window Deluxe Coupe and pickup. The Model 18 was the first low-priced, mass-marketed car to include a V-8 engine, an important milestone in American automotive history. The V-8 was rated at 65 hp (48 kW) when introduced, but power increased significantly with improvements to the carburetor and ignition in later years. This engine choice was more popular than the four-cylinder, which was essentially a variant of the Model A engine with improvements to balancing and lubrication. Used as the backdrop to many of the popular photos taken by Bonnie and Clyde, this two-door convertible sedan was one of the three vehicles in use by the Barrow gang during the Joplin hideout raid. It was one of 1105 B-400 convertible sedans built in 1932. The Bonnie and Clyde B-400 was registered to R.F. Rosborough of Marshall, Texas. Stolen in March 1933 and believed to have been abandoned shortly after the Ruston Caper.

C'est malin ça, je vais maintenant chanter toute la journée "Bonnie and Clyde" au risque de drame météorologique ! N'empêche que c'est une sacrée belle bagnole !
