Deuce of Spades
Faith Granger, hailing from Nice,
France, and residing in the US since 1987, is making a hotrod film in
Los Angeles with the help of the U.S hotrod community.
Deuce of Spades is
the name of Faith Granger's 32 roadster. A couple years ago she set out
on a quest to find a nostalgic roadster and after several months of
endless searching stumbled upon this little jewel through the local
collector car trader magazine. It is love at first sight. One must admit
that the car has everything going for it: Built in Minnesota in the
seventies, it has a dropped down axle, hairpin suspension, Buick finned
drums, Guide headlights, steelies and original 40's ford hubcaps, a
louvered hood and the perfect stance.
Under the hood, a 350
chevy with race cam, tri-power and Edelbrock valve covers.
Not a single mistake as far as good taste goes. This quintessential
nostalgia hotrod is the star of the hotrod film Faith is currently
working on. The plot? In 2007, a hotrod girl (played by Faith herself,
who is quite photogenic) buys a roadster in which she finds a old
letter. This discovery sets her on a quest to find out the history
behind the car. She finds out the roadster was built by a young man
named Johnny Callaway and that it was the fastest roadster in the area,
in 1953.
Several of the scenes take place on the dry lake of El Mirage. The
period perfect cars have been provided by the Southern California hotrod
community. This hotrod film, which is the first in over 3 decades, has
the support of many entities, including the SCTA and the Peterson
Museum.
Hotrod celebrities such as
Gene Winfield make cameo appearances and the soundtracks promises to be
rockin', considering the amount of bands that have volunteered their
songs for the film.
It is anticipated that
DEUCE OF SPADES will be released around 2009 and we hope that it will
end up on a French TV station, with French subtitles. But until then,
