Factory Five July 4th Weekend Hours

Posted on July 3, 2014 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

We hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July weekend! Factory Five Racing will be closed Friday, July 4th to celebrate Independence Day. We will have a small crew on hand on Saturday, July 5th, for factory tours in the morning from 8 am to noon.

If you are in New England, we are at the “Cars of Summer” car show at Greenhill Park in Worcester, MA this weekend. While Friday looks like it might get rained out due to Hurricane Arthur, Saturday and Sunday look like perfect days for a car show. We have a great line-up of cars with our new 289 USRRC Roadster, the All-Women’s Build Mk4 Roadster built on the TV Show “Detroit Muscle”, our ’33 Hot Rod, our 818S, and Type 65 Coupe. Hope you can come visit us in Worcester!

At Factory Five, we build. We build cars, stories, friendships, and relationships. The story of Rusty and Wyatte S. building a Mk4 Roadster, and in the process, bonding as father and son is the best outcome. Here’s Rusty sharing their story so far: “After 26 years in the Coast Guard and spending my last few years away from home, I knew when I returned that I needed to reconnect with my son, Wyatte, in a meaningful way. I asked him if he wanted to restore an old car or build something like a Factory Five Roadster — and without hesitation, he… Read More »
