The 2018 Grand National Roadster Show was a huge success! Our truck was there a week after the Barrett-Jackson show in Scottsdale. The 3-day GNRS brings together some of the best hot rods on the west coast and beyond. I sent Factory Five’s Tony Zullo, Chris Ronni, and Sally Bean and they were joined by SMG Motoring’s Freddy Simmons and Factory Five customers Karen Salvaggio, Frank Maslowski, Dave and Grant Hodgkins, and Deke and Corrine Brown. Dave Smith was unable to attend as originally planned due to work matters back home. At least the weather in New England was cold and rainy, so it’s not like he missed the 75* sunny SoCal weather.

Tony Zullo (center right) has been on the road for Factory Five for almost three full weeks! The guy was in charge of the Barrett-Jackson Show and this year’s Grand National Roadster Show. It’s because of dedication and hardwork of people like Tony that Factory Five is able to deliver.
