This model is a sub-model of the 1932 Ford Model B, the father of all hot rods. The Deuce was named model 18. The "1" meant first and "8" stood for V8. Its designs were built on a successful predecessor from the Ford Model A vehicles. Some of the significant differences were: a larger counter-balanced crankshaft, pressurized camshaft and bearings, a more efficient water pump, and a new boss for the fuel pump.

The 1933 revision of the car was substantial, especially considering how important the 1932 change had been. For its second year, the Ford's wheelbase was stretched from 106 in (2692 mm) to 112 in (2845 mm) on a new crossmember frame. The grille was revised, gaining a pointed forward slope at the bottom which resembled either a shovel or the 1932 Packard. Both the grille and hood louvers curved down and forward.

The Ford Deuce Roadster will forever be considered as the most definitive hot rod in history.
