Without question the 1932 Ford—affectionately called the “Deuce”, is the quintessential hot rod. But how? And why?

A convergence of seemingly unrelated occurrences, certain characteristics unique to the ’32 Ford, and a touch of serendipity all played a part in Ford’s modest offerings for 1932 becoming the iconic hot rod aesthetic.

Deuces were lighter, smaller, simple, easy to stuff a V-8 into, and plentiful on car lots and bone yards—all helping the 1932 Ford become the car of choice for racers. As street cars began emulating what ran at the dry lakes like Muroc and El Mirage in the desert northeast of Los Angeles, they also became the go-to hot rod for the street.

This custom red hot rod with ghost flames and beige interior decked out with chrome accents and dual exhaust will be sure to make its presence heard.

This Deuce features a V8 502-525 HP- 565 FT LBS of Torque­, automatic 4L60E transmission, rack and pinion power steering (Flaming River), 4” Drop Hair Pin, 9” Ford Rear End, Power Disc Brakes, folding convertible top that fits into the trunk, and power trunk. This car has 7796 miles showing on it’s dash. From flames in the door panels to the steering wheel to the fenders this car is a showstopper!
