Factory Five '33 Full Fendered Versions

New FFR Hot Rod Shows a Lot of Different Looks

Unlike our venerable Mk4 Roadster that is commonly built as a vintage replica along similar style lines, the Factory Five ’33 is proving to be a truly customizable car, and each one is very different from the others. We haven’t had a full fendered Hot Rod in our showroom and a lot of people have asked, so we figured we’d post some photos from customers. There is a growing gallery of Hot Rod images on the new Factory Five Forum.
