Hot Rods The words "Little Deuce Coupe" evoke the Beach Boys song, the American Graffiti coupe, and dry lakes racing. The '32 Ford Coupe is universally defined as the quintessential American hot rod. Cruise back to the 1950s and 1960s when hot rods raced down Main Street and tore up the drag strip. If you long for the heydays of hot rodding, this book is the cure. From the first hopped-up and stripped-down Model Ts, to Model As, to Deuce roadsters to sedans, to the dawn of V-8 performance, this complete volume of hot rods, with brilliant photography, is a comprehensive guide for any enthusiast.
