Details: 1932 Ford Roadster, Blue Hi boy better known as the Deuce, has been, and always will be, the quintessential hot rod. Almost immediately, it was modified and quickly gained fame on Americas dry lakes, the Bonneville salt and early drag strips. Popular culture only added to its appeal, including the Beach Boys hit Little Deuce Coupe, and George Lucas classic 1973 film, American Graffiti, which reintroduced old-style hot rods to a new generation and rekindled the street-rodding movement, which many thought had died out by the late 1960s.The popularity of the 1932 Ford has always remained strong. In the early days of hot rodding, Deuces of any body style were cheap and plentiful. Being simple cars made them easy to strip down and modify. Their stock frames were strong, and Fords new-for-1932 Flathead V-8 engine responded very well to performance upgrades. A cultural phenomenon, an entire aftermarket industry, and countless publications were born from these humble beginnings. Fast forward some 40-plus years. A new generation of street rodders, including UP John Buttera, Boyd Coddington, Sam and Chip Foose, and countless others began to underscore the importance of detail and injected much higher standards of craftsmanship into their creations. They emphasized clean, uncluttered, and complete bodywork and comfortable, well-trimmed interiors. Engine bays and undercarriage areas were also highly detailed, and often as stunning as the rest of the car. Drivability and reliability, rather than brute force, became prime considerations. Innovation and resourcefulness are the hallmarks of the hot rodders art form and while the basic overhead-valve V-8 engine remains the power unit of choice today, a select few hot rodders demand something a bit more exotic for their rides. San Diego, Californias Pete Aardema, a Bonneville record-holding engine builder, is one of them. Aardemas single-overhead cam {SOHC) kit graces the show-quality... call for all the details.
