If you were to venture back through time and ask the forerunners of American Automotive History what the fundamental principals of the automotive boom were, you would likely get many different answers. Some would say appearance, while others might refute characteristics like performance, style, or mechanical engineering. No matter what attribute a person might argue makes for the single most polarizing piece to the automotive history puzzle, the 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe will be a chief example of it. Widely acknowledged in its day for its sleek silhouette and versatility, the 1932 Ford is a time-honored favorite of American car collectors. Boding a stylish and streamlined appearance, joined with its innovation, this car has never known bounds of any kind. Let’s face it, the Beach Boys didn’t just sing about any old car. They were very selective in the cars that made their albums. They centered their lyrics around iconic cars and their features, and the Deuce Coupe didn’t just make the cut to be a lyric for Brian and the gang, it was the song. It was the fascination with this extensively distinctive car that won the heart of the Beach Boys, and it is those same traits that make the Deuce Coupe the choice of hotrodders today. This black beauty is exactly what makes for the vivid fever dreams of the aforementioned hotrodders as they sleep at night. While this car may not have the steel body of its predecessor, its fiberglass shroud emits the same majesty. You can rest assured that there was no leaf left unturned on this car. It features a gleaming black exterior with heaps of chrome accentuations, and red painted wheels complementing the superb interior that we will get to in a minute. While highlights abound on this car, the powerplant might be the real protagonist in its story. It dons a throaty 331 Hemi V8 that strikingly drones from any angle, and remains young at just 28,126 miles on the odometer. The beefy powerplant contacts the rear wheels by way of an automatic 700-R4 automatic transmission, equipped with a lock-up torque converter and column mounted B&M Control. The rubber that meets the road includes fresh 165/80/R15 Nexon SB802 fronts and BF Goodrich P285/70/R15 Rears. While the outside is in exquisite condition and is the first thing to grab your attention, the interior of this car is what ties it all together. As you enter through the rear hinged doors, the interior boasts gorgeous deep red and black vinyl appointments on the bench seat, door panels, and the roof of the car. The design of the of the red inlays and supplemental red piping really make the interior pop. The dash is exterior matching black, and includes Dolphin Gauges that parade a slight hue of aqua and are accentuated by color matching details across its length. Chrome accents swarm the interior, just as they do the outside, and are most noted on the lengthy floor mounted shifter that sits nestled closely to the wood-grained steering wheel. The shifter stretches well towards the roof of the car and gives that old school feel that makes us car guys tingle. The final interior addition is the aftermarket Sony AM/FM/CD player that has been fitted to the dash and provides great sounding tunes through numerous Infinity Speakers installed throughout the car. From front to back and top to bottom, this car is nearly flawless and screams for attention. This ’32 Ford relishes in the light of its history, demands attention from car fanatics of today, and exemplifies car culture so much so, that it would definitely lead the Beach Boys to write another song. This car really is the All-American car, and with its faultless elements it is bound to sell fast.
