Performance Improvements, Canada's leading retailer of automotive performance products, in collaboration with Art Hagner Transportation Specialist at Judith Nyman Secondary School and his nine student build crew are building a Factory Five '33 Hot Rod to celebrate Performance Improvements' 50th anniversary.
The Factory Five 33 is a revolutionary design that has changed the way car enthusiasts think about a Hot Rod. The Factory Five 33 combines the traditional look of a 30’s Ford with current state of the art performance suspension, steering and brakes. Once completed, the 33 will be a comfortable specialty car capable of being driven daily, while delivering sports car performance and ride quality.
Performance Improvements will be celebrating 50 years in the performance business in 2014. The 33 project is a tribute to the 33 Ford Coupe our company’s founder drove in the early years of the business. Now operating seven retail locations in Eastern Canada, P.I. has become the leader in retail performance product sales.
Judith Nyman Secondary School is a Peel District School Board technically based secondary school, located in Brampton, Ontario, providing its students with 4 year courses offering hands on technical skills training in a wide variety of fields. Art Hagner transportation specialist at Judith Nyman encourages his students to excel by offering unique projects that will hold their interest. The 33 project will most certainly create enthusiasm.
Madigan’s Vintage Tin is the result of Jim Madigan’s lifelong enthusiasm for specialty cars and racing. Jim will be chronicling our progress on the 33 in photos on both P.I.’s and his own web site. His website shows his wide variety of automotive interests, well worth a look.
