Hot Rods The EUROPEAN DEUCE thread

The same car (from Quote Nr. 151), soon with fenders. Better IMHO, no?

 

Have to repost this... 1956 British movie with Benny Hill. Tudor sedan being abused at 2:58 minutes

 

I think I recognize this car,,,

 

To say nothing about the abuse the poor 3 window he drives suffers at the end...........

 

Thanks J! Just curious, where did you find the picture? Looks like a magazine.

 

From Denmark

 

Thanks!

 

Nice tread. I got the notice from my favorite Flathead professor Bruce Lancaster. Last year I found one of these Deuces in Denmark and brougt it home to Norway. I'll share some more in a while. Just wanted to drop in a pic. It's an unrestored car.

 

Cool stocker, AV8-Rider! What's the plan with the car?

 

Where can that magazine be purchased ?

Have not finaly decided 57snrf. Completely Stock is not my thing. Thinking of doing some minor mods to fix the stance and change wheels or maybe sell it.

I am the 5th owner since new and the car has only 87000km on the odometer. Has lead a quiet life. Was in a car dealers show room from 1973-2003.

 

Comercials was way better, way back when!
Comercial states ; new automobil for a new Era.

But it is also a design master piece.

 

Found this fore sale in denmark.

What a nice project.

That is one rare piece over here; chopped, channeled and rear fender well sectioned.
Them we don't see many off.

 

Great stuff from Denmark & Norway - thanks guys

Chris Chardon's Model A and Frank Fuochi's (ex-) Tudor

 

At one point a few years ago, while still in France, my sedan had no fenders. Event: the private Dusty Race, open to traditional hot rods only

 

I think I posted this once before...but here's my oddest and most disturbing sighting of a EuroDeuce:
There's one in the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC...a display includes warped, charred junk army truck frames, actually used in a death camp as a rack for cremation. One is clearly a '32 BB, presumably one of the German ones that stayed in production into the 1940's. Hell of a sorry end for a BB.
My eyes have been trained over the last 50 years to lock onto any 1932 stuff anywhere, and finding that was very disturbing.

 

I posted this on the sitting and rotting thread back in april:
A 28 or 29 model A and a Euro 32 Ford behind rusting in peace in Oradour sur Glane, a village razed by the nazis where they slaughtered 645 civilians on june 10 1945

 

Very cool, Bruce & ChrisP.
Some pages from one of my vintage brochures. (French 1932 Ford)

 

Another picture (by Chris Youks) of the Custom Parts & Wear meet, Switzerland. (It welcomed 4 European Deuces)

 

I usually don't post pictures of non-Euro sedans; but Francois Boudreault's Tudor from Quebec is pretty cool

"Before & after"! I was looking for 2 bumpers... and ended up finding/buying 3! The one installed on the back of the car is in decent shape (repro though). Taillights need to be moved up now. For the front, I had to choose between another repro in OK shape (slight rust) and a very original piece, but seriously rusty. Ended up choosing the original bumper, but not before spending hours cleaning it.

 

Seen in Street Machine Magazine (UK) back in the '80s, a British '33-34 "Deuce". Profile shows the typical fenders and different shape of bottom of apron and doors. (Doors are "taller" in effect).

1932 Ford France brochure. Found this one in a specialized automotive book store in Paris a few years ago. Truly amazing piece.
