    If you guessed that this is the car and teardrop that our logo is based on, you'd be right! The hotrod, known as "Barrows Coupe", has changed hands and undergone some modifications over the years, but is alive and well, and the teardrop has been tucked away in the original builders garage for a long time

    Brad Barrows, of West Newbury, Massachusetts is the original builder of both the car (1970's) and teardrop (1990's). The current owner of "Barrows Coupe", Mike Letendre, has had it for a number of years and just took ownership of the teardrop last year. These are the first pictures of the two reunited.

    "Barrows Coupe" is a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe. The roof was chopped 4-1/4" and the floor was channeled 4" to give it the low profile.



    Here's what the pair looked like when the logo was designed:

    At some point over the years the car was resprayed from yellow to matte black, and eventually to its current color.
