It's a Springsteen song from "Asbury Park," apparently just filler. I went there once, in the '70s, when it was of course already well in decline. Didn't see much more than a run-down bit of urban scenery around the Palace. And inside it, of course. Was before it shut down.
Anyway, the Deuce Coupe is the quintessential hot rod base. Everyone should know of it, courtesy of the Beach Boys. Or die.
