Hotrodders all over the world celebrated the 75th anniversary of the 1932 Ford during 2007. Ford Motor Company had a celebration on May 4, 2007. And The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California had theirs in February of 2007. You can visit www.deuceweek.com for more information.
I have owned this '32 Ford Street Rod since 1994. It has a 350 CI Chevrolet small block with headers, Crane Cam, Edelbrock Torker II intake, Holley Carb, 350 Turbo trans, 8" Ford rear, Vintage heat/air, tilt wheel, power lumbar seats, TCI chassis, American Torq Thrust polished wheels and much, much more. It is Corvette Yellow with purple flames by Bonz. It is a real steel car with fiberglass front fenders. I have the full history of this car from day one from the archives of the North Carolina DMV. It was bought new in this state and has never been owned outside the state in its 75 years of existence!
A good contrast of 1975 Corvette Yellow and 1998 Firebird Purple Metallic flames which fade into Viper Red on the ends outlined with light blue.

Time to terrorize the neighbors with some noise as we leave to go cruising! They especially love it when I leave really early in the morning.
The Crane Cam, with .475 in. lift and 302 degrees duration, and the custom-made straight through mufflers really make some big noise.
Ready for some action.
LeCarra leather-wrapped steering wheel, tweed sculpted interior by Ray Hester of Lexington, NC. The seats are power lumbar units from a Mustang GT.
And they are mighty comfortable especially on one of those long trips to Pigeon Forge, TN or Myrtle Beach, SC.
The overhead console and the sculpted tweed headliner
Flames, baby! I love flames.
American Torq Thrusts. These wheels were the gray-spoke with machined-finish lip when I bought them. I had them polished to this condition. I had these done before American released the polished Torq Thrust IIs. Notice these are not two-piece wheels like the TT IIs are.
In this pic, you can see on the firewall some of the dash plaques I have accumulated from attending shows and rod runs since 1994. I have put over 23,000 miles on this car and she has never let me down even one time.
The plate says it all. It took me eleven years to get this one. The former plate which I had for eleven years was 32 DEUCE. For me to get the current one, either somebody sold their car or somebody died!
Occasionally, I get the urge to run a 1932 plate. North Carolina is one of those states which allow a plate for the year of manufacture of the vehicle, providing the vehicle is at least 35 years old. I think this car falls into that category easily!
A shot down the side showing just how straight this old car is. It was taken down to the bare metal before it was painted and the car had never been hit and never had any rust. Plus, this car was painted back in 1993. The flames were done in 2000.
Flames really fire me up (ha ha).
This is one of my favorite shots of this car. The purple on the right front fender really sparkles with the sunlight beaming off of it. I took this pic early one morning. Twelve years after buying it, I still love this car and appreciate what it represents.
Group shot of the fleet of toys! The Deuce, a 2004 Corvette convertible and my lovely wife's 1965 Mustang. All three of them are on www.cardomain.com for your viewing consideration.
A study in contrasts. The old and the new. The tall and narrow vs. the low and wide.
