What do Posies and Classic Cars have to do with each other? While Chasing Classic Cars V

What is Posies? No, I am not talking about flowers. However, these do have pedals. LOL!


While at the Spring Carlisle Show we toured  Poises Rod and Custom Shop in Hummelstown. Amazing!! We viewed  project vehicles that were under construction and restoration. The Kaiser Pickup was my favorite but it was just one of the many different  flowers to choose from. In fact, there was a whole bouquet to admire.  POSIES has been building custom creations for over 40 years. They are an industry standard when building hot looking, smooth riding rods, customs cars and/or trucks.

The best part of the tour was the tour of restoration shop. It was hard to believe that at least 10 projects are being worked at the same time in such a small space. Yet at the same time the place was neat and clean. I thought that they must taken the projects out to another garage when they were working on them.

Matt, our tour guide officiando, told us that all the work performed, except for sandblasting and painting, was done right where each of the car sat. These cars were close enough together to fit in a tight parking lot. You know the type..suck in your breath to slide through.


Posies has several different operations going on at the same time. They are building their own custom vehicles in the shop. These include the Kaiser Pick Up Truck, 1955-57 Ford Country Wagon, and a vintage 1935 Ford Custom Coupe. Matt says these vehicles and others were likely to be presented at the Sema Car Show in Las Vegas in November. Did we offer to drive one to the show for them? You bet!!!


Posies' operations are also working on project cars for customers. There was an Austin Nash Healey, a 430 Ferrari Clone, something hung in a rotisserie unit and perhaps another 10 cars. 


If that is not enough to keep them busy, they are an experienced leader and supplier for Hot Rod, Street Rod, Ford and Chevrolet specializing in Super Slide Springs. They sure have what it takes to get you a smooth riding hot rod, including the knowledge to help you to get it installed correctly. 

So the next time you are going to pick posies make it one of  Posies Custom Hot Rods and put the petal to the metal.
