Jed, what's the deal here? Do all these cars belong to "Dave", or does he store them for others?

Either way, that's a stunning line-up.

Hi Paul here is the Dave story:

About 23 years ago, Dave Parker was in his infancy of success pounding away with different metals and plastics in his garage doing what he loved to do... create.

Somewhere along the line he got things write, creating x12l0, the strongest plastic known to man.
He started to create molds, and various trinkets and industructable plastic items that he put throughout his house and used in his shop. His friends and family thought he was nuts!

Dave kept going, as he knew he had something great. It turns out he did. In 2003 his company Pelican Products ranked number one in the industry, and to this day the company produces the most plastic products for goverment agencies in the US then any other.

Dave's love for cars has always been strong. His first car ever was a 1957 Chevy, 3 on the tree. About half way through his career, he fixed up that old 3 on the tree and entered it in a car show taking first place.

From there the story of Dave's Garage tells itself in a showroom that holds 75 award winning cars that Dave has collected and restored over the years.

For the past 5 years, Dave has kept his garage and his cars secret thowing parties only for people he is close to. Now he wants to extend a warm invitation to his garage to host your special event.

Yes it's those simple ideas that can be a cash cow success. I'm still looking for that simple idea that will fuel my future addictions Dave's garage is close to where I live and anyone can visit it sometimes Dave even give the tour! Nice to know that there are successful people out there that are still grounded and share their accomplishments. Dave and Pelican are a class act company
