Tour with Us this Summer!

We are going to be driving the wheels off of our cars this summer, and here are some of the events we plan on being at. The action kicks off with our 19th annual Factory Five Open House on June 4th. We’ll be on the Hot Rod Power Tour the very next week, and in London, Ohio for the largest gathering of Cobra replicas in the country. We’ll also be at the inaugural Barrett Jackson Northeast, hosting the Street Rodder tour, and hitting the Right Coast Nationals in mid-July. We hope to see you at one of these great events!
