Dean Moon, instead of creating an empire, set the path for many hot rodders to get their share of fame, while his products, his cars and his cleverly used ‘Eyeballs Logo’ became legends. This fantastic industrial and human adventure is strongly rooted in the Post-WWII era, but it managed to survive the decades and the passing of its originator in ’87 : a young Mooneyes Japanese distributor, Shige Suganuma, bought the whole Moon legacy, carefully preserved it and expanded the business and hot rod philosophy… to the world.
