Dino Petrocelli and Crew Visits Factory Five

Posted on April 18, 2014 by in What's New

We were honored to have our favorite automotive photographer Dino Petrocelli visit Factory Five yesterday with his crew Scott, Freddie, and Dino Jr.  Dino has photographed the lion’s share of Factory Five cars over the years.  His photography has earned us three magazine covers, and his work has landed many others their cover shots.

Dino is from Albany, New York and has photographed customer cars as well as our factory demos.  He recently photographed Factory Five customer Ed Seagrott’s ’33 Hot Rod which is soon to be featured in “Street Rodder” magazine.

Dino is a good friend and an important partner.  It was a pleasure to give him a personal tour of the company, and express our thanks on behalf of everyone at Factory Five.
