In case this hasn't been posted yet. The Petersen Automotive Museum will commemorate the 85th anniversary of the 1932 Ford “Deuce” with a day-long car show cruise-in and celebration on Saturday, July 15th. Immediately following the conclusion of the show at 4:00 p.m., a procession of Deuces will drive from The Petersen to the Edelbrock Museum in Torrance to pay tribute to performance icon and Los Angeles native Vic Edelbrock, who helped shape the performance industry and p***ed away on June 9th at the age of 80. The ’32 Ford, nicknamed “Deuce” for the second digit of its model year, was one of the first affordable production cars with a V8 engine and became a favorite of racers in post-WWII Southern California. The Petersen celebrates this iconic car every five years with a car show and cruise-in open to hot rod fans of all types, with special parking on the top deck of the structure for ’32 Fords. Deuce Day will begin at 7:30 AM with a cruise-in of ‘32s. The event is free to the public, ticket purchase only required for those entering their Deuce. Tickets include entry to the museum.
