OK, when the Beach Boys sang of their “Little Deuce Coupe”, to what car (Make & Model) were they referring? - Jinx

Your second link doesn’t work. Is [this](http://www.rochesterlionsclub.org/Fundraisers/Rockin_Rods/Rockin_Rods__Photos/LittleDeuceCoupe.jpg) what you had in mind? That’s the car from the Little Deuce Coupe album cover.

Hrm, the link works for me. Yes, it shows the car used for the Beach Boys cover and the history of the car. It was customized by George Barris, famous for many classic custom cars including the Batmobile, the Munster’s coach, and the Beverly Hillbilly’s jalopy.
