eBay Motors will be making a stop at the Brazos Valley Fair &
Rodeo this weekend to take part in the College Station Ford Car Show
and Tractor Pull this Sunday, October 16th at the Brazos County Expo.
eBay Motors hits the road to highlight ‘Parts of America’ telling the story of different car cultures from across the USA. The 'Parts of America' tour will take eBay Motors to twelve automotive enthusiast events across the country - from car meets and cruises to tractor pulls and rock crawls. At each stop, eBay Motors will feature one-of-a-kind vehicles that bring to life the local car culture and the passionate builders behind these remarkable rides.
The 'Parts of America' tour will take eBay Motors to twelve automotive enthusiast events across the country - from car meets and cruises to tractor pulls and rock crawls. At each stop, eBay Motors will feature one-of-a-kind vehicles that bring to life the local car culture and the passionate builders behind these remarkable rides. The Gentleman Racer's Michael Satterfield was selected by eBay Motors to bring a vehicle that represents Texas. The truck Satterfield chose, dubbed “Ranch Relic,” is a 1969 Ford F100 that features custom paint by local artist Sean Starr and unique parts and accessories sourced from eBay Motors.
"Just as every region of the country has its own iconic landmarks or local food with unique flavors, America's car culture is just as diverse," says Ron Jaiven, GM of Parts & Accessories, eBay Motors. "Any serious gearhead can speak to the distinct regional differences of their hometown and debate why it belongs on the automotive map. 'Parts of America' celebrates the passion of these communities."
Throughout the tour, eBay Motors' hauler will collect and
transport eight bespoke vehicles that show what's possible using parts and
accessories from eBay Motors and represent America's diverse and remarkable
auto cultures. The tour will culminate with a display in Los Angeles during the
LA Auto Show, with many of the builds ultimately listed on eBay.
Rising inflation and lack of inventory are driving more and more
Americans to update and mod their existing vehicles rather than purchase a new
one. To provide ideas and inspiration, 'Parts of America' is taking these
custom rides on the road, along with the builder enthusiasts who created them.
“It was really exciting to be chosen by eBay Motors to represent
Texas with a truck that feels like it could be found in any small town in the Lone
Star State,” said Michael Satterfield. “This truck was built in the Brazos
Valley, from Sean Starr who did the custom paint work, to Upholstery by Poe who
helped us with our custom interior, to the late nights with my dad in the
garage installing the rest of the parts we got from eBay Motors. The College
Station Ford Car Show and Tractor Pull was the perfect place to showcase this
unique truck.”
