As I posted in post #5, Deuce is slang reference for 2:

32 Ford - Deuce Coupe
Cut loose like a Deuce - Dump the #2 cards
Got to dump a Deuce - outhouse for a #2 and NOT PEE

But what people seem to forget is the french word for 2 is Deux! So many english version of a foreign word/language bastardise it.

Around this part of SW Ontario, Chevy II's have long been known as DEUCES. The '69 and laters not so much. That way when your talking to a guy about their car, and he says "it's just a lil Deuce with a 350 and 4sp", one has an idea of what there talking about. It he claims a Nova, it's usually a '69 or later. Early iron ALWAYS had the Coupe after Deuce to identify it.
