When George Lucas’s American Graffiti came out in 1973, a whole new generation of classic car enthusiasts and would-be hot rodders was introduced to pure greatness in the form of the 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe.

While there were a number of incredible old school rides and roadsters in the movie, from the ’58 Chevrolet Impala to the ’56 Ford T-Bird, the 1932 Ford Coupe is on another level of iconic. The real deal. In fact, to this day, replicas of the American Graffiti deuce coupe have been known to draw in serious crowds in showrooms, street rod shows, and hot rodding events all over America. We're sure that eye-popping yellow paint job has a little bit to do with it.
