Factory Five Customer Bill W. Scores Magazine Ink!

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Factory Five customer Bill Wilson from Las Vegas, NV was profiled in the new Vegas Automotive Magazine Issue 1!

“Growing up I spent countless hours reading car magazines and dreaming of the day I could have a car worthy of a magazine. The magazines have eluded me thus far, despite several TV appearances on Street Outlaws, Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carrini, Bad Ink on A&E TV, and a Special Olympics commercial. This year has brought my goals though with both the cover of a calendar AND a magazine cover and feature article. I know magazines are a dying breed but it is a huge thrill for me to have this exposure for the car. Vegas Auto Mag if you want to see the whole magazine online.” – Bill Wilson
