The Shed

It all began in 1981 when Bob Marvin bought a ’65 Riviera –which he still owns – as a reward to himself for celebrating one year of sobriety. Like a lot of men, Bob became enamored with cars. “The uniqueness of the cars, the designs of them – that’s a part of Americana history. The more I get into it, going back 60-70 years ago, I see innovations that were new then that could be applied to today’s cars. It’s fun and a little history lesson in one of our country’s biggest industries.”
