Love on the Weekend!

The second annual Havasu Deuce Day was deemed to be a huge success by all who attended. Over 200 Deuces were in attendance for this well planned and implemented show. Garage tours, downtown street parking and a huge Deuce display were all part of the event. Thanks to Rich and Val for the photos they sent along as they flew over the show in their plane. And a special thanks goes out to all who helped make this a Deuce lovers delight! I’m sure this will become and annual event since their’e so many Deuce owners living in Lake Havasu. I sure hope so. I was unable to walk very well or I would have not missed this event. Next year for sure!!

We should have a lot of Deuce Days this year as the 85th Anniversary marks another milestone for the iconic Deuce that so many people enjoy. I feel left out by not currently owing a Deuce as they don’t seem to celebrate the model – 40 Ford Anniversary in our part of the country. Perhaps there is an opportunity for some promoter. The 1940 Ford seems to have a good following and recognizes milestones so why not the model – 40? I do recall the LAR’s had a 75th Anniversary parking area at their annual show in Pomona. The attendance was good but nothing like the Deuces. I once asked Vern Walker of Walker Radiator fame what was his most popular seller and he quickly responded the 1932 Ford. The availability of reproduction bodies makes the search much easier and the build much faster so I predict Brookville will be around for a long time.
