Just impossible (for me anyway) to know about all these great hotrods. Thanks for the education! Great choice here, the Doyle Gammel 3-window.

I call it the Dick Bergren coupe. He built the car.

Correct, we addressed this fact in an earlier post:

Thanks for setting the record straight. Here is an article Kevin Lee wrote about it:
http://www.hotrod.com/articles/0910rc-1932-ford-coupe/
And here is an excerpt from that article:
The name that can be the foundation for this entire tale is Doyle Gammell, but he will tell you himself this story does not begin and end with him alone. When it comes to the historic hot rod this tale revolves around, the car itself has always been a bit of a mystery. The earliest known record begins when a ’32 Ford three-window coupe came into Dick Bergren’s life in the early Sixties. At that time the car was just another hot-rodded old car whose origins were not important and now have been forever lost to the march of progress. It wasn’t long before a young Dick would write his own history with his new possession as he proceeded to personalize his ride.
It would be Dick who would make the important changes that would forever make this one ’32 Ford so special and give the coupe its beloved personality. His first major change was the modification of the top. Armed with only a hacksaw and a natural sense of what is “right,” Dick unknowingly created the ultimate chopped top which still captivates hot rodders to the point Bobby Walden offers brand new ’32 coupe bodies with this exact chop from his shop Walden Speed. A detail most who loved the coupe from its 1963 Rod & Custom feature could not appreciate was the rich metallic Cordova Brown paint Dick had the coupe coated in

The gorgeous Wes Collins '34 Ford custom. Most of us know that Mark Skipper built a tribute custom which was featured in The Rodders Journal #85.
But Skip I can't find your build thread, maybe I'm losing my mind.
