This is one of my favorite year hot rods the 1932 Ford Coupe and I always think of the Beach Boys tune “Little Deuce Coupe” when I see one.
This particular car is chopped. If you notice in the first photo the yellow deuce coupe in the background has a taller windshield. The avid hot rodders back in the day used to cut the roof off and take a few inches off the roof supports then weld it back on. Of course this meant fabricating new windows to go along with the custom metal work but it was with the effort because of the better looks they attained.
When she’s all finished you have a great example of the classic “Little Deuce Coupe”. This particular one was for sale also, hmmm. I hope you enjoy.

I’d hate to think what the Top Gear team might do with this little beauty 😦 . . .

Very sweet. You’d have to be a good shoulder checker on lane changes in this number, you wouldn’t see much out of the back window. I didn’t know they were chopping cars even back then, interesting. I love old cars……when someones already done all the hard stuff, LOL

Thank you very much Elina, I hope your son likes it 🙂 In my early years when I worked for Ford in the late 60’s and early 70’s it was the golden age of american muscle cars. I had a blast working on and driving 428 Cobra Jet Torino’s and Boss 429 Mustangs but I have never ever driven a Deuce Coupe (1932 Ford). I really wish I could have 🙂

I’m sure it’s a pretty penny, and probably not near the $$$ that has been put into the restoration of it. I used to listen to the Beach Boys, but I associate it more with ZZ Top’s hot rod. I have photos of a bunch of classic cars from the local 4th of July parade, but I haven’t had time to process them.
