Description: This book, produced to mark the 75th anniversary of the introduction of the Ford V8, `32 Ford or Deuce, tells the story of the development and production of the new model. It pulls no punches, detailing the problems, design limitations and factory politics that dogged the new model. It describes the manufacture and marketing of the V8 in the USA and across the world, explaining the differences between US and overseas models. Special cars and motorsport exploits in Europe and North America are also described. The second part of the book consists of descriptions of the 75 most significant Deuce based hot rods, which makes fascinating reading. It is a great book and a must buy for any Ford fan or lover of the Deuce and hot rodding.
