In 2018, Dan attended the Carlisle Ford Nationals with our brand-new Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe.

“The entire family will enjoy the largest and most thrilling all-Ford event in the world. Ford, Mercury and Lincoln fans will have a showcase of over 3,000 vehicles to check out on the National Parts Depot show field. During this event, you will enjoy great indoor displays of concepts, customs and historically-significant cars and trucks; test drives by Ford Motor Company, a burnout competition, activities for the kids, industry guests, giveaways, autocross for all skill levels and club gatherings. The excitement continues with a shopping experience you won’t soon forget as part of the enormous swap meet, car corral and the Manufacturers Midway for the best in parts buying.”

We are continuing our tradition of joining Ford at this great all-Ford event! In previous years, Ford has featured Factory Five Type 65 Coupes and Mk4s.
