Event Coverage Northwest Deuce Days 2025

Tourists getting to Victoria and a lot of folks from Victoria returning from the mainland on foot.
Just thinking there may have been a good number of folks who had already checked out of their rooms and were getting on the late ferries out of Victoria or Sidney. I know in 2019 I saw a lot of drag bag suit cases making their way through town.

 

Sure did! It looked great!

You weren't around anytime I was near it.

 

Thanks to all that posted pics.

 

My coupe made the cut as well. Thanks

 

They posted the Deuce Day Analytics for the event.
518 1932 vehicles at the event with a few non Fords in the mix.


Updated with an easier to read version.

 

Just saw that myself posted by someone else. Very cool.

5 provinces, 25 states, and 6 different countries represented at a show on the far Southwest corner of Canada. Pretty cool.

 

… and you have to get there by boat. Pretty amazing.

Estimated 100,000 people.

 

And, here they are!

 

That’s an amazing group of cars that gathered for this event. Thanks to all who took the time to share their photos.

 

They call it Deuce Days and 518 32's but is that really an accurate count? There may have been 518 vehicles that were registered as 1932 for this show but, how many where really produced by Ford Motor Company. I wish that was a requirement of registration.

 

I saw a ton of deuces out cruising that I didn’t see again in the show on Sunday. Same with other rods, so I wonder how many rods in total were there.
This one was one of my favourite Tudors and speaking with the owner was really great. The story of his dad’s gold medal, which became the horn button was awesome.
I didn’t snap a pic, but snowpro did, so if you scroll back you’ll see it.

 

Yep, it was hard to move.

 

I think you should volunteer to personally inspect every car that is registered as a 32 Ford and demand they show proof of being a real Henry 32.

 

Its spelled Deuce too...

 

When I was looking at all those beautiful cars I didn't care whether it was real, Brookville, or fiberglass.

My brain said "I like this one".

 

Yeah, it was neat talking to him. The gold medal was his father's gold medal from the 1932 Lake Placid Olympics. He was the team manager for the Canadian Hockey Team in those games.

I liked the supercharger and the traditional appearing injection. A lot of thought went into that car.

 

A debriefing of DD ‘25.....
An outstanding show as always. Got there Thursday and took my time taking pics for the next four days! I really like going through the various hotel/motel parking lots as well. Our hotel had about 15 cars in for the event and around 3:00 Sunday they were my alarm clock! LOL
I wanted to see a particular ‘47 Buick convertible that usually shows but apparently it didn’t this year.
After the show a saw Ken Forbes (?) “ Juicy Fruit “ ‘56 Meteor convertible driving around...beautiful but then I am biased!

A huge shoutout to F-head for allowing me to ride around and have my first in a ‘32. I fit so I’m going to keep it and finish for ‘28! Thanks again Bruce! Wouldn’t even take me up on my offer of a beer either...

Met a number of HAMBers or otherwise spread the gospel! Met people from Oz, NZ, Sweden, Finland, and from that oh so close N. Carolina. Also met Mr. Beck of AA/FD fame! Nice to see a number of US cars sporting a Maple Leaf flag, nice gesture!

But there are negatives as well. Firstly I kind of OD on ‘32s and don’t even look at mine until about a month later. Too much of a good thing I guess.
Secondly, having decided on the colour choice there are always a couple of Orange cars, my second favourite colour, that gets me re-thinking my choice again and again and again...!

Hope to see a lot more at DD ‘28. And it is worth the drive!

PS. I forgot to mention another highlight...cheese cake in the Legislature ( NOT Parliament) dining room.
PPS. Not sure if I should post my pics as I believe everything I shot has already been up loaded.

 

I'd be interested in your pics. Different angle and a different photographer sometimes tells a different story.

 

I want to know what the 22 "others" were. The list seemed fairly comprehensive.

 

The list even includes the 2 Auburns that were there. I can't help you with what the others are.

 

And my pickup made the cut too!!! Thank you!!!

 

Well, if nobody else enjoyed the weekend at Deuce Days, I think I did enough to make up for everyone else!!!

 

Thanks to everyone , what a great hobby we share .

 

I believe those “Auburns” were re-plicars. Very nice just the same!

 

Didn't realize that was yours, cool ride too!

 

At least one of them was an Erskine (Late 20's or early 30's...sedan...in original patina). Sorry, no pics but it belongs to a buddy of mine.

 

First batch of pics from our DD trip. Everything went off without a hitch. Spent most of the trip bench racing with guys and catching up with old friends. Hands down best car event we attend, Tons of pics to share

 

Batch # 2

 

Does anybody know of a source for t-shirts? I didn't see any I liked while I was walking around and there doesn't seem to be any on line anymore.
