20 Days for 20 Years! Factory Five 20th Anniversary Celebration

Posted on May 18, 2015 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

This is our 20th anniversary, and we will be celebrating this milestone in a big way at our 2015 Summer Open House to be held here at Factory Five on June 13th. As part of a build up to the big Open House, the crew has come up with twenty fun daily specials and surprises. Twenty days of fun to celebrate twenty years of accomplishment.

We will release one per day. The ideas are all over the map, some big, some small, and all fun! So follow our website here every working day (Monday-Friday) starting tomorrow, May 19th, until Open House on June 13th.

Even though today is not the first of the twenty days, the team asked that I extend the VERY popular 50/50 sale through Open House. We had limited the sale to 20 kits, and there are customers we didn’t want to turn away. The next twenty days will be fun, and the unveils that we are planning for our Open House will be a blast.

Customer Charlie D. started his Coupe build in Spring 2018, and by the end of the year, he had his first start and was soon go-carting around the neighborhood. Over the next year, he worked on fitting the body. He had to hit pause on the build for several years due to focus on some other projects. But he kept his Coupe dream alive, and once the other projects were finished, he got back to work on his Factory Five.

February 17, 2026

At Factory Five, we build. We build cars, stories, friendships, and relationships. The story of Rusty and Wyatte S. building a Mk4 Roadster, and in the process, bonding as father and son is the best outcome. Here’s Rusty sharing their story so far: “After 26 years in the Coast Guard and spending my last few years away from home, I knew when I returned that I needed to reconnect with my son, Wyatte, in a meaningful way. I asked him if he wanted to restore an old car or build something like a Factory Five Roadster — and without hesitation, he… Read More »
