Subject: RE: BS: Little Deuce Coupe
Depends a little on your era. In my day (50s) the term was generally reserved for something like shown at the "clicky." Chopped to lower the roof line. Channeled to reduce ground clearance. As big an engine as you could "shoe-horn" in. Lots of chrome. And absolutely necessary - a "flash" paint job.
In earlier times, the term was more generically used for any "two-seater," although frequently with the "mother-in-law" jump-seat in the rear.
