Brian L. Wins ‘Allen Grant Choice Award’

Customer Brian L. received a special invitation from the Shelby American Collection in Boulder, Colorado, for their charity event. Brian was given “the number 1 slot for the show” and learned that icons Allen Grant and Peter Brock would be in attendance. Allen’s iconic CSX2128 Cobra was there in the museum. Meeting Allen left Brian in awe. During their 40-minute conversation, Allen shared stories, asked questions about Brian’s build, and even planned on sending Brian some parts that made his own car unique! Brian told us, “I’m still riding the high from the event!” It was an unforgettable day involving legendary cars and car legends. We are stoked to hear that Brian and his Factory Five 289 Roadster were asked to be part of it. Congratulations Brian!
