Hot Rod Magazine Profiles Gen 3 Coupe

Posted on March 9, 2017 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Hot Rod Magazine online profiles the all-new Gen 3 Daytona Coupe replica! Hot Rod’s Brandon Gillogly did some awesome camera work as we drove in the California high desert. Hot Rod Magazine’s online section has a good overview article with a larger one coming out in the print magazine in a few months.

At the end of January, I traveled out west with the Factory Five show truck to attend the 2017 Grand National Roadster Show and also to do some driving and photo work of our new Gen 3 Coupe with Hot Rod Magazine. The photos came out great and the new car sits just right.

The high desert near Pearblossom, California has plenty of beautiful and empty roads perfect for driving/testing.

We spent about 5 hours doing the shoot and driving the car. Afterwards, we loaded up the truck and headed back to New England.

Huge thanks to Brandon and the crew at Hot Rod Magazine!
