Tom Veale’s Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod was featured on the cover of Motor Trend for the Hot Rod Power Tour! The picture was taken by Motor Trend while he was heading South out of Nashville.
Motor Trend must have liked Tom’s car as it has appeared in a couple of their Facebook posts.
Some other events Tom has been to included a Northwoods Shelby Club event. Tom raved, “Everyone was always surprised at how well handled, braked and kept up with traffic – even on street tires with ‘white walls.'”
Tom said he “had the only FFR ’33 Hot Rod in the Power Tour of around 3,000 cars. There were a few Roadsters, but I never met their drivers.”
