Lee, Lee, Lee: you sweet summer child....
I'm surprised!
a) Car pictured above is not a '32 Ford; looks like a '33 or '34 based on the radiator grille shell. '32 Ford shown below:
b) A quick google search reveals the first car with a V8 was......a 1914 Cadillac.

c) Original "Muscle Car"? It's the '64 GTO - by definition.
