I’ve also featured many classic cars and trucks at multiple different auctions across the United States. I’ve had many vehicles that have been featured in multiple magazines and multiple websites. I specialize in beautiful classic cars and trucks that are at a higher level of quality than most being advertised for sale. I collect classic cars and trucks that are already completed and slightly redesign them, service them and detail them. I have also coordinated restorations from start to finish. The MS CLASSIC CARS showroom and automotive detail center in Seekonk, Massachusetts was established in 2012. I also acquired a service and storage facility in 2015. The MS CLASSIC CARS operations are closed to the public.

He was doing freelance for magazines in 1974. And Donnie explained how the shop first got hooked up: “The first guy that ever shot our bikes was Randy Smith from CCE. “If you had a motorcycle business then, the way to get noticed-the only way-was to have your bikes featured in magazines,” the original article states. When the shop’s bookkeeper pointed out they could make a living off motorcycles if they got rid of the racecar, they jumped on it. Soon, word spread, and the shop started landing more custom bike work. “We were three farm kids we thought rake was something you did with hay,” said Donnie.Īlthough the Smith Brothers and Fetrow had their hands full, holding down day jobs and working in the shop on the Barracuda Funny Car they planned to race, they did their best for Elwood. Uncle Elwood wanted them to rake the bike’s neck, but, at the time, Donnie didn’t even know what that meant. One day in the early ‘70s Elwood brought his Sportster into the drag race shop Donnie ran with his brother Happy and friend Bob Fetrow. It was his Uncle Elwood that got him involved in the custom bike world. Motorcycles weren’t Donnie’s first choice. The article Before Kustom Kulture was King: Tracing the Roots of Custom Biking written by Marilyn Stemp for the Sturgis Rider News Blog shares many of the early events that led Donnie to today. In the case of Donnie Smith, it was a journey that required hard work, ingenuity, working with good people and simply being in the right place at the right time. Legendary builder status doesn’t just fall into your lap after following a set list of steps. Custom bike built by Donnie Smith in 1979
