Pink slip daddy was a reference to street racers racing for "Pinks" or pink slips (registration). There was a reality show based on this. I used to street race and would never have raced for pinks, too much time and money and a slipped shift or tire spin or a broke part would cost you your ride...seems unlikely.
A classic, iconic '32 Ford Coupe that was ruined with that ugly-as-hell grill and grill shell. How many kids have seen the Beach Boys album cover and think this is what a Deuce Coupe grill looks like? Give me a stock grill and headlights any day!
It's all a matter of taste but, the order of the day was that Kustoms were kool and that's where the grille and headlights arrangement came from. Dean Jefferies and the Barris Brothers and many others set the trend in the late 1950' and 60's.
If you look up pictures of this car Clarence "Chilli" Catallo's Silver Sapphire, and zoom in, it's got a fuckin swastika on the pulley up on the blower snout.
Oh man, I never noticed that although Henry Ford was reported to have been a NAZI sympathizer which may have been a fact or not. You know haters gonna be haters.
Yes, in the song "Deuce Coupe," the car is a little deuce coupe ('32 Ford) with a flat head mill." The original V8 that Ford put into some of its cars in 1932 had flat heads, meaning that the engine did not have overhead valves, which came years later. It was a hot setup in their day, but these days it would not be competitive, but people like the looks of a flat head engine and still put them in hot rods sometimes. A bone stock flat head engine would put out about 90 horsepower, but various hot rod tricks could increase that power by double. Whether it had enough power to go "140 in the top end" is debatable.
@@adrianpeterson9668 // Adrian, maybe you can answer this question for me, as I'm not familiar with the older Oldsmobile V-8 engines and heads. In all of the pictures I've ever seen of the Catallo "Little Deuce Coupe", there are only three primary tubes on the exhaust headers exiting each side of the engine. If it's an eight cylinder engine, shouldn't there be four primary tubes exiting each side, one for each combustion chamber? Thanks! 😋👍
Art Vandelay007 I don’t know much either but I’ve researched the car and that’s what it said but as far as your question about the headers goes I couldn’t really tell you but I’m sure as you can tell the car is pretty radical looking but I’m assuming the middle tube is the middle exhaust ports and there’s one each for the front and back exhaust ports. And love the user name btw

Totally agree, one mistake and you're walking home ...

That pretty little lady is at the Gilmore car museum near Battle Creek, Michigan.
Thanks for the video. Great car.
I ❤️ these cars 😀 !

That's BOSS!!!!
Without Chili, who knows what "coupe" we'd be looking at ... Milner's came on the scene about a decade after "Little Deuce Coupe."
Chili Catallo was one of my heros.
Too cool man
Right the F on!!!!!
Great video and a great education. Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot.
Thanks for bringing this up John, it's been so long since I first posted this I'd almost forgotten ...

Ewww. gross

Not the car for someone who is claustrophobic !!!
So what mods did it actually have. Out of curiosity.
Hmmm.. I always thought the "little deuce coupe" had a flathead motor? Can anyone enlighten me what that motor is? Chevy?

@@adrianpeterson9668 / /Thanks. So, is your name really Adrian Peterson, or are you just a fan of the former Minnesota Vikings running back?
