It’s hard to believe that we hosted our first Open House in 1997. Every year since then, we’ve taken the time to open the doors to the shop and spend the day with friends, family, and customers. This year, the Open House is going to be held on June 15th, and more than ever, we are excited to pull the wraps off of our latest projects. The event starts at 9 AM and wraps up at 1 PM. Hope to see you at the Open House this year!

One of the biggest attractions of the summer Open House is our HUGE Factory Five Warehouse Parts Sale! If you cannot attend the Open House, this year we will have some great Open House deals posted on our website as well!

Also new for this year, we will have live music from a local band called Latitude, playing a good mix of classic rock throughout the day.

The spring-summer road trip continues as all roads lead to Wareham for our 16th Annual Factory Five Open House to be held this Saturday, June 15th! The crew just returned from an exciting and grueling 1,400 mile Hot Rod Power Tour, and we've barely unloaded the truck before we began setting up for our annual homecoming party.

This year's Open House format will be similar to past events with car show awards, a live band, free food (if you like hot dogs), plant tours... AND this year we will be unveiling our Project 818 sports car.

We hope to see you this Saturday at our Open House.

Craig, since I don't have a Factory 5 yet... Aug 10 can't come soon enough... I need to go to the Wareham Crossing and park to get bussed over.... just making sure I was heading to the correct place. I've been to Factory 5 3 times... Is this Mall just down the street?

Hi Dan,

As my Dad said, that is the correct place and address. We'll also have signs set-up to help direct people where to park.

Mad Dog,

Will there be trailer parking available? Tow Rd or somewhere else?

Thanks.

There will be a designated parking area for trailers on the lefthand side of Tow Road behind the Gas Station that is at the corner.

The guys are working hard getting ready for Open House and its cool to see the 818 production start up. 24 months ago, we had sketches and a design contest. Today, after a tremendous amount of work, we are building an all-new car. Can't wait to show you guys our best work at Open House on Saturday.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for sharing these photos and the wonderful progress made on the 818. Both you and the whole Factory Five 818 team have so much to be proud of. I hope to see you at the open house. I am looking forward to my upcoming 818 build this fall. You and your company are building a legacy which I am so glad that I participate in if only thru building my 818SR.

Very Respectfully,

Steve
