2011 Right Coast Nationals Report

Great Weather, FFR Give-Away ’33 Hot Rod, and Great Customers!

The 2011 Right Coast Nationals Give-Away car was built by Morrisville College.

The 2011 Right Coast Nationals held at the fairgrounds in Syracuse was a HUGE success! This year, there were a number of firsts for us. A Factory Five ’33 was the official give-away car at this year’s event. The Factory Five was joined this year by customers in our booth which added a great element to the show and to our display.

The Right Coast give-away car was built by the kids at Morrisville College over the past year and was powered a Ford 4.6L engine with billet specialty wheels, a stunning red paint job complete with full fenders, and built as a roadster.

Factory Five customers Gary and Barbra Merckel had their beautiful silver Mk3 Roadster in the Factory Five booth. They also worked with the Factory Five crew all weekend helping talk to customers during the show.

Factory Five customer George Robitaille brought his absolutely jaw dropping ’33 Hot Rod also to display in the Factory Five booth at the Right Coast Nationals. George was tireless in answering questions and helping customers during the show.
