1932 Ford Coupe - Bret Sukert

This ’32 three-window got our attention as soon as we entered the Suede Palace. Bret’s ‘60s-style hot rod is built from an unmodified original steel body bought from well-known rodder Dick Page. Foss’s Hot Rods handled body and paint chores; Mitch Kim did all that ’striping. The suspension includes a dropped axle and transverse leafs in front and quarter ellipticals in back. The Chevy small-block is topped with a Weiand manifold and ’65-’66 GTO air cleaner. Interior elements include Mopar van seats, an N.O.S. Grant wheel, a restored Ha-Dees Stewart Warner blue face gauges (it took 50 gauges to get eight that matched). The coupe left the Suede Palace with the Best of Show award.
