The '32 Ford was the trendsetter
The 1932 Ford is known as "the Deuce" which represents the "2" in '32. To those who follows automotive history know that this iconic vehicle, especially in roadster form, has long been considered the quintessential hot rod. And the term hot rod is believed to have derived from the contraction of "hot roadster." In hot rodding history, the '32 Ford was the trendsetter vehicle.
Without question, the 1932 Ford roadster, as a production vehicle, was an exemplary new entry into the American automobile marketplace. It featured all-new body styling, revised grille housing, a lower stance and a brand-new, previously unavailable V-8 engine, as optional equipment. The standard 1932 Ford roadster had the traditional Ford inline four-cylinder engine, and was known as the "Model B" while the V-8 was the Model 18.
