History
The Karate Kid
The Ford Super De Luxe is one of the vehicles that Daniel Larusso waxes when he begins his first karate lesson from Mr. Miyagi. Daniel waxed on the left door of the car along with the grille and its front lights, though he also waxed another classic car during training. Offered a choice of one of the classic cars as his 18th birthday gift and for obtaining his driver's license, at first, he tried to refuse, only to relent when Mr. Miyagi insisted he would be "hurt old man's feelings." He would choose this car and drove it to Golf'N Stuff so he can try to apologize to Ali Mills, having obtained confidence from Miyagi to find his "balance" in life. He would then take Ali Mills in that car after apologizing to her.
The Karate Kid Part II
Six months after the 1984 All Valley, an upset Daniel drove the car to Mr. Miyagi's in a damaged state after his senior prom night, where Daniel claims Ali Mills borrowed the car, causing an accident and messing up the engine, although Miyagi managed to quickly fix the engine. This incident, as well as believing Ali fell in love with a football player from UCLA, made Daniel break up his relationship with her.

In "The Moment of Truth", Daniel was fixing the car while his daughter Samantha & Robby were training. Coming over, Sam asked her father if he fixed the car, which Sam called "the old banana boat".

In "All In", when Hawk and several of his Cobra Kai friends vandalize the Miyagi-Do dojo, Hawk paints "Cobra Kai NEVER DIES!!" on the side of the car. The following morning when Daniel, Sam and Robby arrive at the dojo, Daniel is livid and heartbroken to see his late mentor's gift vandalized, and drives off in the vandalized car to the Cobra Kai dojo, where he confronts Johnny Lawrence, who Daniel believes vandalized the dojo.
In Season 3, Daniel reveals that getting his first car from Mr. Miyagi was what first inspired him to got into the car business so that other people could feel the same joy that he did.
In "Feel The Night", Miguel spots the car under a tarp and Daniel tells him about how he got it from Mr. Miyagi. Daniel and Miguel sit in the car as Daniel tells Miguel his side of the story from 1984. As Daniel leaves, he asks Sam to put the cover back on the car for him.
In "December 19", Ali, while explaining the truth behind her and Daniel's breakup to Johnny and Amanda, comments that she'd warned Daniel that the car's breaks were going out. Ali asks an embarrassed Daniel if he'd blamed the accident on her to Mr. Miyagi which is in fact what he did.
