Mass Cruiser’s Car Show with a Crew!

Posted on July 2, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

We had a ton of fun at the Mass Cruiser’s Car Show last Thursday!

It was a blast and we saw some Factory Five customers there like Pat M. and his wife, AnnMarie. Pat raced his Coupe for years, and told us an awesome story about taking his grandson to his last day of school in “grandpa’s race-car”.

Team members Taylor and Sienna took the Supercharged XTF Truck, Riley and Avery took the Blue Type 65 Coupe, Mad Dog and Dave took the Red Mk4 Roadster, and Justin and I took the ‘33 Flame Hot Rod!

L-R: Jason, Teddy, Melony, Bailey and Lauren liked the Type 65 Coupe the best!

The Black/Carbon Fiber Supercharged XTF received lots of attention!

We thought it would be fun to make some memories and take pictures and videos, so keep an eye out for a video from all the fun in case you missed it!

Also, we wanted to mention Factory Five night will be held Thursday, August 22nd. The Factory Five Cruise-In will be held August 24th at Factory Five from 9am to noon. Can’t wait to see you there!!
