About the Deuce Coupe:
A deuce coupe (deuce indicating the year "2" in 1932) is a 1932
Ford coupe. The Model 18 coupe with its more powerful V8 engine was
more popular than the four-cylinder Model B coupe. In the 1940s,
the Model 1B was plentiful and cheap enough for young men to buy,
becoming the basis for an ideal hot rod. Customizers would strip
surplus weight off and "hop up" the engine for power - a metaphor
drawing from one's behavior becoming more raucous when "hopped up"
on beer. These "hot rods" came in two body styles, the more common
5-window and the rarer suicide door 3-window.
The iconic stature of the 1932-vintage Ford in hot rodding inspired
The Beach Boys to write their hit 1963 song "Little Deuce Coupe",
which also was the name of the album it appeared on. The deuce
coupe was also featured prominently in the 1973 hit film American
Graffiti. The car is also famously referenced in the 1973 Bruce
Springsteen song, Blinded by the Light, made popular by Manfred
Mann's Earth Band in 1977.
Typical of builds from before World War Two were '35 Ford
wire-spoke wheels. Immediately postwar, most hot rods changed from
mechanical to hydraulic ("juice") brakes and from bulb to
sealed-beam headlights. The "gow job" morphed into the "hot rod" in
the early to middle 1950s. The mid-1950s and early 1960s custom
deuce was typically fenderless and steeply chopped, and almost all
Ford (or Mercury, with the 239 cu in (3,920 cc) flathead,
introduced in 1939). A Halibrand quick-change rearend was also
typical, and an Edelbrock intake manifold or Harman and Collins
ignition magneto would not be uncommon. Reproduction spindles,
brake drums, and backing based on the 1937s remain available today.
Aftermarket "flatty" (flathead) cylinder heads were available from
Barney Navarro, Vic Edelbrock, and Offenhauser. The first intake
manifold Edelbrock sold was a "slingshot" design for the flathead
V8. Front suspension hairpins were adapted from sprint cars, such
as the Kurtis Krafts. The first Jimmy supercharger on a V8 may have
been by Navarro in 1950
