My Favorite Year

ChevroletTwo

I am more of a Ford person but there is no denying the great looks of the 1957 Chevrolet. I think it is one of the best looking model years, and back then the manufacturers changed the body style each year.

From any angle this car just looks great.

1957 is also the year “fins” started to appear on every manufacturers auto line. These cars used to drive the gas station attendants crazy also. Notice the door in the chrome above the tail light was where the gas filler was hiding. Younger people might think “what gas attendant ?” Years ago there was a gas the attendant that pumped the fuel, checked your oil and cleaned your windshield (and that was all for 39 cents a gallon gas).

Bullets like the pair of them on this Chevy’s hood were also very popular. I hope you enjoy.

1932 Ford Coupe

DeuceRod

This deuce coupe is a little “in your face” but thats the beautiful part about the hot rod hobby, you can make them as wild as you want.

A little peek of the air filter on the small block Chevy engine.

DeuceRodThree

This one also has the more classic approach to hanging the mirrors compared to yesterday’s deuce coupe.

And of course the beautifully finished dashboard and interior. I hope you enjoy.

She’s My Little Deuce Coupe

DeuceCoupe

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.

DeuceCoupeTwo

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.

Smooth Sailing

SmoothSailing

The Great South Bay is smooth as glass in the early morning but it looks like some storm clouds are moving in. It’s a shame because it’s a really clear day today and usually you can’t see the second bridge to Fire Island (Robert Moses Bridge to the right). I hope you enjoy.
