Join Us in Oshkosh for the 2019 EAA AirVenture Show

Posted on July 16, 2019 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

The Factory Five team is heading to Wisconsin for the 2019 EAA AirVenture Show in Oshkosh. Join us as we spend the week of July 22-28 at AirVenture, and check out our fleet of demo cars! Customers are welcome to join us at this fun event.

We will be displaying the new 2nd Gen Hot Rod with Deluxe nose/grill as well as our full-fendered Hot Rod Truck, Mk4 and Hot Rod rolling chassis, and several customer cars including a couple of Type 65 Coupes. Factory Five customers Sten Johnson, Erik Treves, and Henry Renaud will be joining the team from FFR that includes Jesper, Jim, Chris, and intern Collin.

Ford is a sponsor of EAA’s AirVentures and our booth will be located a short walk from their display. All of our cars present will be Ford-powered, so we will not have an 818 or GTM in our display.

Customer Erik Treves will be bringing his Type 65 Coupe to next week’s EAA AirVenture show.

You can view show maps and get more information on EAA’s website here.

We look forward to seeing you in Oshkosh!

Customer Charlie D. started his Coupe build in Spring 2018, and by the end of the year, he had his first start and was soon go-carting around the neighborhood. Over the next year, he worked on fitting the body. He had to hit pause on the build for several years due to focus on some other projects. But he kept his Coupe dream alive, and once the other projects were finished, he got back to work on his Factory Five. Over the next year, they focused on her treatments, and thankfully, she beat cancer in mid-2025 and has a clean… Read More »

February 17, 2026

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 »
