Mother Nature throws us a curve


Well, we held out until the last minute hoping the snow would subside and the roads would clear so we could take the '72 Morgan 4/4 down to the David L. Lawrence Converntion Center in Pittsburgh so it could be part of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix display at the Pittsburgh International Auto Show......but it was not to be. The trailer was effectively snowed in....the road conditions were bad and eventually trailers and similar vehicles were banned from the interstates as the snow removal crews tried their best to keep up with the latest storm. Eventually, we had to cancel. We are very disappointed but at the end of the day, it was the right call. We have submitted an application to have the car invited to the Import/Kit-Car Show at Carlisle in May.....and no doubt, we'll have it at British Car Day at the Pittsburgh Vontage Gran Prix in July as well as a few appearances at the Starlite Car Cruise in Wexford, PA. The little car will definitely have a busy summer. For now, here's a picture taken at last months World of Wheels Show where the Morgan took first place in its class.

Finally....an update

First of all.....many apologies for taking so long to get a new post up. It's not as though nothing's been happening. Quite the contrary....we've been very busy the last month and a half. In that time we have reached a significant milestone with the HRG Coupe...the engine is running and we are hard at work on the interior woodwork. We've also created a pair of graphic renderings that represent the completed car. It will look magnificent when it's done....we can't wait. The '46 Panel Truck is due to return from Portage Trim....we've seen pictures of the completed interior. They've done a beautiful job. The '72 Morgan made its debut at the Pittsburgh World of Wheels Show two weeks ago taking first place in its class. The car is scheduled to again appear at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center this weekend as part of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Display at the Pittsburgh International Auto Show (weather permitting). While all of this has been going on, we've begun a major push on the '57 Mercedes 300SL Roadster as well as the '62 Ferarri Lusso and '55 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing.......no doubt we are busy. That's it for now...more to come. Check out the cars at www.hahnandwoodward.com
