The Deuce Coupe That Stole My Heart: a memoir about building a hot rod - Paperback

'32 Ford Coupe Comes Back to Life. 115 Color Pictures.

Discovered in the deep woods of Minnesota in 1985, Dick Stoebel brought a rusted-out '32 Ford coupe hulk back to life over eight years of innovation, help from friends, and "good old-fashioned Yankee ingenuity."

Using skills he had acquired restoring other vehicles and airplanes, the Deuce Coupe was the one that would steal his soul forever.

This is the step-by-step story of Dick's eight-year journey, with photos, as he brought the "Thirty-Two" back to life. He invented tools, used a telephone pole to shape metal, bought a new home with a bigger garage, and put in thousands of hours of sweat equity to bring his chopped hot rod dream to fruition.

With over 115 full color photos this book is a must for every "car lover" with an interest in hot rods, flame paint, and speed.
