Behind the wheel of the blue Contemporary Roadster is Lee Kelley, then editor of Hot Rod Magazine.  Interestingly,  In 1999 Factory Five Racing purchased the assets of the Contemporary Company, including molds, jigs and tools. 

On the Hot Rod side, today's Hot Rod Magazine editor, Rob Kinnan, drives a Factory Five '33 that was featured in the magazine as part of a five-day build story. 

Sadly Boyd is no longer with us, but Factory Five is fast becoming one of the most popular of '33s on the market. 

28 years later, Factory Five Racing has taken up the mantle of these cars.  The Mk4 Roadster and the '33 Hot Rod are our best selling models and while they look the same as the two cars in the photo, they are far superior from a technological stand point.

I was a senior in high school when this photo was taken and would have not believed this future or what I drive today!
