Gotta love the Flathead,and of course the Deuce it powered. HRP

 

Heck just had a dead stock unrestored ooooriginal 32 3W drive up my driveway tonight.

 

Lets have a party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

82 years old and still respected as one hell of a motor. Valve in block design that helped build America still going strong today and well into the future.

 

Just picked up my first flathead v8 Saturday. Not a 32 but still a Ford.

 

If it wasn't for good ol' Edsel & developing the V8 secretly behind ol' Henry's back, 4 bangers would have been produced into later models, instead of being an optional item.

 

Happy Birthday to one of the longest running rodder's choice for power !
