Description
...during World War II young soldiers and sailors dreamed of pin-up girls such as Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Veronica Lake and Jane Russell to name just a few.
...but they also dreamed of building their very own hotrod after the war was over.
...this was their car of choice...a 1932 Ford Coupe.
...Yesterday, while walking around a nearby marina with camera in-hand, I almost fell over this little gem just parked on the street waiting for me to take its picture.
This car is such an icon that the Beach Boys sang about it. IF you don't mind the Beach Boys for a little nostalgia fix, Click Here.

cool car and superb pictures!
Thank you for the music, Bill. And this are splendid photos of a wonderful looking car. Stunning!
Just Perfect... the classic 32 Deuce.
Classic car and classic track, what a combo.The car is little before my time :-) but timeless, the Beach Boys were a fave with my mother so I grew up listening to them.Thanks for bringing back some fine memories......
A true classic Bill - everyones dream street rod.
Great shot and collage Bill. The music link did the trick. It brought back the memories. In July 1964 we went on leave from Paine Field to Southern California - we had a '55 Chevy. On 20 July, the day of the Republican Convention, when the party nominated Barry Goldwater to run for president on their ticket, we drove from San Francisco at night along the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu. There it all began, surf, cars like this, or the '409' and similar wheels, girls, did I say surf, and the music. Beach Boys, Kay Winding and others. From there to Mahattan Beach, Venice Beach, Disneyland, to Tijuana. Explored that town, mariachi, bullfights, Jai Alai and the nightlife. Stayed on the beach at Rosarita Beach. Those were the days!!
