The iconic nickname for the 1932 Ford Model 18 or Model B coupe, one of the most celebrated automobiles in American hot rod and custom car culture. 'Deuce' refers to the year '32, and its lightweight body paired with a powerful V8 engine made it the foundation of countless custom builds from the 1940s onward. The deuce coupe became a symbol of American automotive freedom, immortalized in Beach Boys songs and hot rod films. Serious car culture still reveres it.
He spent fifteen years restoring a deuce coupe to the exact spec it would have rolled out of a 1940s California chop shop.
