Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While recently attending a weekly Classic Car Show in Bellemore, New York located on the south shore of Long Island. My friend who was attending the show with his 1969 Camaro told me that his cousin was attending the show with his car and that I should go take a look at it, he said he thought it would be something I would really love to take some photos of. When I found his cousin, John he couldn't have been any nicer and his car was amazing. It was a 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe, the "Holy Grail" of Roadsters. This car was in mint condition it had an amazing yellow paint job with a fantastic paint job of red flames along the side of the car so as the car raced through the streets it would give it that impression of going even faster. I asked John if he would close the front hood so I could get a nice all round side view shot of this great looking car. As you can see in the photo the side panels are not in place as the engine has exhaust pipes sticking out. The front fender I thought would form a running board with the back fender, but it was long and wide and covered the whole front tire and ran down to just where the front door started and stopped there. The back fender just covered the rear wheel with a half circle shape. With the night time sky starting to fall the bright yellow color really made this car stand out above the other cars at the show.
For more information on the 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe please feel free to read the information listed below;
During the period after WWII, Model Bs and 18s were frequently rodded. This continued into the 1960s on a large scale, as noted in the hit song and as the pivotal street racing car in the film "American Graffiti". Today, the roadster and coup� are the most sought after body styles, as these were popular for street rods and hotrods; unmodified examples have become rare. Since the 1970s, 1932 bodies and frames have been reproduced either in fiberglass or lately in steel, which has helped resolve sheetmetal shortages, and increased the number of rods being created or restored. These are often very expensive, and a typical show-quality car may sell for $60,000 or more.
