I grew up and spent alot of time in the Central Florida area. During the mid 80`s to about 93 I used to have a Chevy truck that I would go to car shows. There I met a guy that had a `32 Ford 3 window...I think it was a 3 window. Absolutely awesome car. Tons of machined billet parts of the car[ I think he worked at a machine shop] The car had in the trunk and on several places on the car the label "Super Duece" Has anyone heard or seen of this car? Maybe have any pics of it?
Did this car also have a logo design with an "S" similar to the Superman logo? Was it painted red?

YES! That is the one!!
I saw the car at Pigeon Forge,TN many years ago, it was either the Grand Run or the Shades of the Past. You're right, it was an amazing car for the time period, absolutely stunning. I remember the "S" Superman style logo was all over the car, on the engine, in the interior, the steering wheel horn button, and in the trunk. I took pics of the car, they are stashed away somewhere, not sure I know exactly where, it's been over 20 years ago. If I find them, I'll let you know.

Thats cool Mike!! I remeber the first time I saw that car I was just awe struck. Incredible amount of time it took to build that car. I wonder where it is now.....
Has anyone ever checked out Hot Rods of Dearborn? Some really great stuff from the early (40's and 50's) days. Tons of pictures. Also there is a website called "Carnut" it has 105k pictures, any year, any make. I like to go to the "32" section and the Chevy section (32) there's alot of picture. Alos there is the Mukenthaler. Several thousand pictures (slideshow) of California cruises. I hope this adds duel to the fire..........t
I have some photos of that car somewhere. My dad knew the fellow that did a lot of the machined parts for it. He had given my dad an 8 X 10 photo of it a while back. I'll see if I can find it and scan it.
Is the owner and the car still around?

Thanks Gastrick.

I still have not found the photo/s samsonized. Bud Reid's shop is the machininst I mentioned earlier. I was at his shop and he is the one who gave me the photo/s I have but that has been a while. Mike Adams closed shop for a while but has since reopened. I believe it is still named Adam's Rod Shop. He is in West Palm Beach, Florida. He might know where it is at. I'll renew my picture search.
That would be great. But used to work out of his house in pompano. Where are you located. Mike also built a 33 two door sedan for me that ended up in the tampa area
