Inspired by iconic hot rod fabricator Jimmy Shine and his legendary bare metal 1934 Ford pickup, we’ve joined forces with Southern California’s Shine Speedshop to create a truly inspired work of playable art. Fueled by the hallowed dry lake grounds of speed and performance (where Jimmy has certainly left his mark over the years), the V8 EL Bonneville series is crafted from the finest premium woods and materials, integrating the unique lines and design elements of Jimmy Shine’s hot rod masterpiece.

Intricate touches like our trademark “louver sound ports” and Shine’s vintage 1940 Ford steering wheel volume knob give the V8 EL Bonneville a one-of-a-kind look, while the exclusive fire-breathing V8TV “Flattie” (inspired by the Ford Flathead V8 motor) and “Radiator” pickups handmade by the inimitable king of tone TV Jones deliver a sound that can roll over anything in its path!

So strap in to go 200MPH and reserve your preorder for this collectable ode to speed, power, and rock and roll today!
