Power to the people and motors for the masses

When motivated by a quick jab of throttle, the Deuce drives smartly away from the past. The V-8's surge forward is modest by today's standards, but on the 1930s thrill scale it probably rivaled rising hemlines, airplane rides and the end of Prohibition. The first-gear kick carries you to 40kph, and second is worth 64kph. At 75 years of age, the Deuce is still a driver's delight. Several hundred 1932 Fords are expected to converge on Dearborn, Michigan, on Aug. 9 through Aug. 12 to celebrate the Deuce's 75th anniversary. Information is available at deuce75.com.
