Back from SEMA 2016: Full House!

Now is a great time to visit Factory Five Racing! The entire crew and all of our cars are back from SEMA and the Emerald Coast Cruizin’, and  you can check out all of the new cars here in Wareham, MA. The highlights from the SEMA Show and the newest Factory Five’s are the all-steel ’33 Hot Rod body and the all-new Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe.

We will be open on Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend from 9 am to noon, so when you’re done with your turkey and shopping on Friday, you can come check out some cars for a few hours on Saturday.  If you’re in the area, our regular hours at 9 am to 5 pm Monday – Friday, and 9 am to noon on Saturday.  We are closed on Thanksgiving and the day after.
