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!
