Factory Five Cruise-In: Event Recap

The 2024 Cruise-in a.k.a. “Open House Lite” was a big success. The weather was perfect, clear blue skies and temps in the mid 70s with no humidity!

We kicked off at 9am, although a few guys showed up early. The buildings were open for walk-throughs and President Dave Smith gave a guided tour at 10am. We decided to offer some very select scratch and dent parts and a ton of t shirts, hats and promo merch.

The best part of the day was catching up with old friends and new. The event was as fun as it was laid back. Next year will be our 30th anniversary of the company and we plan to pull out all the stops!

Huge thanks to all the customers who came out and perhaps nothing is as good at reminding all of us here about the WHY of what we do, than to connect with our customers and friends, see their cars, amd hear their remarkable stories.

22Rally Cruise to Factory Five

22Rally is a New England based organization of volunteers who raise funds and awareness for charities. On Saturday, June 6th, 2026, they cruised to Factory Five to check out our demo cars in the showroom and go for a tour of the facility. Club members started to arrive around 10:30 in the morning, and it was fun seeing the parade of cars filling our parking lot.
