The “Dearborn Deuce” is an all-steel, full fendered roadster that is a new build with only 1,000 miles and has been a multiple award winner already at the Detroit Autorama and Goodguys 80th Anniversary “Deuce Doings” and is to be featured in the September 2014 issue of Street Rodder magazine.

The power is derived from a rebuilt 1953 Ford 8BA flathead with Edelbrock polished heads, slingshot intake manifold with dual Stromberg 97 carburetors, Fenton ceramic-coated headers and exhaust, Ford C4 automatic transmission, Ford eight-inch rear end and Moser axles. All of the components are reported as being new or rebuilt.

The chassis setup consists of ASC fully-boxed frame rails, Pete and Jakes four bar front end assembly with a four-inch drop I-beam axle and stainless steel Panhard bar. All of the components are presented in stainless, including the fuel and brake lines. The front brakes are finned discs and the rears are the drum type.

The car features a new steel body, fenders and running boards and is finished in Dupont Jet Black. The interior is richly presented in Salsa Red leather seats and the top is black and by Haartz. The Salsa Red leather is also found on the door panels and trunk liners, while the firewall has a distinctive black and silver checkerboard presentation. The 1940 Ford dashboard is accented with new Classic Instruments Vintage Series gauges. Other interior appointments consist of power windows, Ididit tilt steering column, authentic 1937 Ford banjo steering wheel, matching window lifts by Brizio and a Pioneer stereo sound system with front and rear speakers – along with being iPod compatible.

Gorgeous polished Halibrand sand-cast aluminum sprint wheels wrapped with Diamondback “smoothie” blackwall radial tires help the driver feel the road and allows the car to drive really well. With the flatheads resonance and having the top down will transport you back to cruising like it’s the 1950s.
