Críticas:

Naturally an event of this magnitude (the anniversary0 inspires countless acts of marketing; however, few are as good as Robert Genat s Deuce: 75 Years of the 32 Ford Deuce. Instead of offering a sterile, nuts-and-bolts guide to the Deuce s unique elements, however, Genat intersperses historic images with his own evocative, archive-quality photographs of both modified and stock 1932 Fords. It caters to the purist and the performance-minded alike, and it promises to maintain its appeal for years. We suggest buying two: one for yourself and another to let your friends fight over. --Street Rodder

Of course, there are photos of prime examples of the '32 Ford, but what's more interesting; the book covers the complete history of the cars from the original design, development, and production to the dawning of traditional hot rodding with rare original photos. --Hot Rod Magazine

Reseña del editor:

The 1932 Ford, the Deuce, is among the most important automobiles ever produced. A landmark car for Ford, the '32 introduced Henry Ford's groundbreaking V-8 engine, bringing the iconic engine configuration to the masses for the first time. Just as significantly, the '32 Ford's myriad body styles and abundant production figures made it the ideal platform for hot rodders and the inspiration for an entire automotive performance industry. Now 75 years after its introduction, the Deuce continues to be the foundation for many a hot rod. Deuce: 75 Years of the 1932 Ford is a complete history of the car as it was built, and as a hot rod and race car. The book covers the design, development and production of the Deuce, including vintage factory photos and details on the cars as they came from the factory. Deuce also relates the story of the car as a race car and as the hot rod of choice for generations of hop-up enthusiasts. Sidebars will explore the personalities and companies that have helped the Deuce become a pop culture phenomenon and a focal point of the automotive enthusiast community.
