“Moal Speedway”, a custom car designed for Wayne Carini, car enthusiast and host of Chasing Classic Cars, will be on display during the presentation. Steve will describe the process involved, from conception to completion, in making this one-of-a-kind automobile.

Steve Moal directs a motoring enterprise in his family’s 70 year old, 10,000 square foot garage on East 12th St. with a flair that has garnered world attention: the House of Moal is one of a handful of enterprises creating custom coachwork vehicles, rakish, high performance, one-off vehicles built for a discerning clientele that in Moal’s words “capture the essence of spirited motoring.”
