Murray Torpedo pedal car

An unusual restoration project for us, this pedal car belongs to one of our automotive customers who requested that it be restored to the like-new condition he remembers as a boy.

Metal patio furniture

Year: not determined Another example of an unusual non-auto restoration project, this set of metal patio furniture required disassembly of the furniture's two types of metal components before they could be refinished, powder-coated, and reassembled to a like-new condition. This project was completed in spring 2006.

1937 Rolls Royce hearse

Year: 1937 (chassis year) This is truly a classic! This right-hand drive hearse was originally used in the Midlands area of Britain and was brought here in 1962 as a personal driving machine. The vehicle had since been garaged. The original body on this 1937 chassis was a Thrupp & Maberly 4-door limousine; the current hearse body is a custom aluminum model made by Simpson & Slater Ltd. of Nottingham (all pre-1939 Rolls Royce bodies were custom-made by others). We rescued this hearse from a garage in Washington DC and sold it for its former owners. It now serves as a display vehicle for a mortuary in Washington State.
