Long Awaited Father’ Day Project Arrives

Here’s a feel-good story for the holiday.

This project started out several years ago as an homage to our customer’s father. We were directed to recreate a spider from the early 1970’s once owned by our client’s dad who had passed away. Many fond memories were attached to this car, although they were occasionally tarnished by the Fiat’s spotty reliability.

Roadster Salon’s goal was to re-create this memory in a more modern package. The original mid-seventies chassis was handpicked by our staff. The car was upgraded by a new performance 2.0 fuel injected engine, rack/pinion steering, suspension and electrical improvements, plus many cosmetic enhancements as well. Many hours were spent with the specific design details, with significant input provided by the client.

In just a few short weeks this spider has already received wide spread attention and acclaim with nearly 300 positive responses on Facebook. It’s truly stunning in every respect.

While the car was being built, our customer had his first grandchild. Our next task was to paint a tandem toy convertible for his granddaughter in the same Maserati Sebring blue metallic color. This little gem is pictured along side of our customer’s pride and joy. Watch this space for our customer’s full review and driving impressions. While a long time coming, the delivery was a proud moment for everyone involved, and an emotional tribute to his dad.
