Slammer Street Rods

The Guys Garage

slammer_fiWhen a couple of buddies each have a collection that outgrow’s their houses, it’s time to get a space together. That’s what happened when Fred DeFalco and Rick Abate picked up one too many cars.

Rick’s “Sinister” Cadillac in the foreground above was recently featured here and Fred’s ’57 “Midnight Nomad” which was featured last year share a stable with 4 other cars they each own. The garage has a small work area that quickly turns into a bar, a plush lobby and plenty of fun. Trophies in the lobby were amassed in recent years as well as the magazine articles which adorn the walls. Shortly after moving in, the pair hosted an Open House and we were invited. Lots of top collectors came by as well as builders. We met up with artist Matt Bernal and Andrew Ursich came by later with his two most recent show Choppers.
