The end of your post makes it sound like you're saying Springsteen wrote Little Deuce Coupe :) Obviously not your intent...

“One version is about a car, the other [by Manfred Mann] is about a feminine hygiene product. Guess which the kids liked to shout more?” - quote from Bruce Springsteen

actually thats wrong.the guys who call newer novas deuces only seem to be on the yenko site.mostly guys that arent old enough to actually have been there.i had a 1970 nova ss in 1970.any nova newer than a 1968 chevy II/nova is a nova.other than the yenko deuce of course.its just guys trying to make there cars sound like something they are not.i can tell you (back in the day)no one called 1969 and up novas deuces.
Well said and true! I had a '66 Chevy II in 1970 and never called it a Deuce.And a 1970 Nova from 2003-2015 and never heard it called a Deuce!

There are members here who like to use "slang" to describe things. A few examples:

GUT: - the interior of a car.

VERT: - short for convertible

DEUCE: Chevy II/Nova

Might be interesting to see what kind of responses you get here if someone posts the question. Facebook GenI Chevy Deuce 1962-65

I love my Nova but when somebody calls their car a Deuce I am thinking of a
32 Ford coupe.

Don't forget about the Deuce and a Quarter! Referring to the Buick Electra 225 :-)
