Eyes On Design

“One of the rare concours to focus on design rather than collectability.” – New York Times


The EyesOn Design event is an auto exhibition judged exclusively by automotive designers, collectors, manufacturers, suppliers, and open to the general public. On June 19, 2022 don’t miss “Designed For Speed” at Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, Grosse Pointe, Michigan. This elite expo will feature over 200 race cars. All automobiles were chosen by invitation only, and George Haddad of Fabulous Restorations is honored to attend and display both notables, his 1966 #6 Penske Prototype L88 and 1969 #6 Owens Corning L88 Corvette racecar recreation. EyesOn Design receives its support from domestic and foreign vehicle manufacturers, as well as automotive suppliers and other loyal companies to benefit the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology.


Join us Sunday, June 19th at 10 AM to 4 PM and make reservations for Brunch at 11 AM for a Fabulous time!

Owner, George Haddad, says, “when Florida’s major automobile events are postponed it’s a perfect time to come on down. I’ll show you around the shop, check out several projects under restoration and we’ll have a Vette packed morning including coffee and doughnuts. Please mask-up and RSVP 954-462-9427.

THE '66 CORVETTE CHALLENGE

It’s not often an out of state NCRS member visits our shop, but this was different. Pat Cavanaugh from the Oklahoma Chapter NCRS was a man on a business and pleasure mission. Hearing about our Fabulous Corvettes he had to see them in person as a proud recipient of the coveted NCRS Top Flight Award (97.8) for his 1964 Corvette Fuelie (see photo above). He was so moved by our product that he created an informative article for “The Side Pipe,” Oklahoma NCRS Newsletter. Corvette fans, here’s the complete story by Mr.Cavanaugh. Thanks, Pat.
