Talk:Little Deuce Coupe (album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] disambiguation page needed?
The Beach Boys may be more more well-known than a particular hot rod, but the song "Little Deuce Coupe" is an homage to a specific vehicle that existed and was named "Little Deuce Coupe" prior to the album's release in 1963. The car was subsequently featured on the Beach Boys' album cover of the same name.
A brief history of the car from another source on the web ([1]):
Any car-crazed teenager who grew up the 1960s had a copy of the Beach Boys album "Little Deuce Coupe." On the cover was a radical ‘32 with a custom nose and scalloped blue and white paint, and many an aged baby boomer stopped by to ogle the restored beauty. Originally built by Clarence "Chili" Catallo, it had a 344-inch blown Olds mill with triple deuces. After a successful drag-race career, the body was sectioned and channeled in 1959 before beginning its show-car days. The Alexander Brothers formed the unique grille and George Barris performed the three-inch chop. Hot Rod featured the pearl-blue coupe on the cover of the July 1961 issue. Catallo sold the car in the 1960s, then bought it back and began a resto. He passed away before it was completed, but his son Curt finished the job and brought the famous blue beauty to Pebble [Beach].
The car was featured on the cover of the July 1961 issue of Hot Rod Magazine.

In the 2005 War of the Worlds movie, the main hero sings Little Deuce Coupe to his daughter as an ersatz lullaby. — JIP | Talk 17:48, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite?
Parts of this article sound like an advert full of POV, notably, "For an album recorded so quickly, the quality was amazingly high. In particular, Brian Wilson's songs and their arrangements were becoming more and more dazzling and complex, specifically "No-Go Showboat" and "Custom Machine"."
