The History of Duece Custom Hot Rod
I've been in love with 1932 Fords since I first saw one. Only a Deuce is a Deuce.
The 1932 Ford is regarded as being definitive hot rod, and has been since the birth of hot rodding as we know it back in the Thirties. The Deuce's popularity is easy to understand.
In 1931, the Model A was still very close to Henry Ford's heart. Sales were slipping, and the stubborn Ford thought his dealers were the reason. When some of his staff were able to convince him that the Model A had become obsolete in a marketplace where people wanted more luxury in their cars, he had no firm plans for a new car or its engine.
Model A production was stopped in the United States and work on a completely new car began. In addition to the greater comfort the public wanted, the design goals for the '32 Ford included more power and more elegant lines.
