Every year, we get a ton of really cool Christmas cards from Factory Five guys and their families as well as from suppliers and partner companies. We thought we’d share a few.

I met Customer Tom M. at SEMA this year. He’s building an 818 and he sent this beautiful David Bull Publishing Christmas card of a shape that needs no introduction in any corner of the civilized world.

Chuck Vranas and his wife Kim are the ultimate hot rodders and their Christmas card is down right beautiful, with an old school hemi in their cherry red rod.

Factory Five customer Deke and Corrin Brown from NorCal are building a Hot Rod and sent me this PERFECT card of their ’33 build rockin’ Christmas socks in the ultimate husband-wife project.

The great folks at GoodGuys always send a nice group shot with killer hardware. This year was no exception.

Our soft top supplier missed the mark a bit with the Benz, but nailed the Santa-surfer-car-dog huge!

Thanks for the wonderful cards. Merry Christmas everyone!

President
