Deuce coupe, Nevada snow.



From Michael Moore: "So Thursday we pull in to Ely in a snowstorm after a fairly icy run from the border and this guy from Yakima comes in right next to us towing this five-window all- Ford deuce.  Said he was going to drive [usually drives everywhere] it to Arizona for three months but thought there might be some weather, which hit the night he stayed in Ely.  He’s had the body, chopped in the sixties, for 35 years, but had just gotten around to finishing it in the last several; new floors, frame, finessing out the body work…mostly old time stuff except for the OHV V-8 [dig the exhaust] and fivespeed with cruise control he put in last year to drive out to the Pueblo Nats…last winter he was in Az without it and all his car buddies were cruising around so he figured he’d best bring it down this winter.  Retired Air Force, nice guy; really cool little coupe, a treat to meet in snowy Nevada..."
