Twanna Rogers grew up seeing hot rods in movies and fell in love with them. As the oldest of eight kids, she was already driving the family's Pontiac station wagon by 13. ⠀

Last year, the 75-year-old resident of Palos Verdes, Calif., was at a party at the house of a man who had a collection of cars, including Porsches and Ferraris. In the corner of his garage, under a spotlight, he had the 1932 Ford hot rod pictured above. Twanna says she must have circled the car for an hour and swears it spoke to her to say: "Twanna, take me home."⠀

She asked the owner if he would sell it, and it took three days for him to get back to her. As soon as he said yes, she put the money in his bank account.⠀

The 1932 Ford became a favorite car for hot rodders. The Beach Boys famously eulogized it with their song "Little Deuce Coupe," the "deuce" standing for the two in 1932. This particular Ford has a 350-cubic-inch, high-performance Chevrolet V-8 capable of 385 horsepower and a five-speed manual transmission. It is not the easiest car to drive, Twanna said, as there is no power steering. But it is very comfortable.⠀

When Twanna pulls up in her hot rod, people turn their heads. She get thumbs up everywhere. People are surprised to see a woman driving this car, she thinks. "I can see it in their faces."⠀
