Default Honesttly cool idea, but

I would also like to see more about Ecklers history. the early glass!, the ideas that led to the product line, notable cars that ended up wearing your glass back in the day, the Greenwood chapter that went bad, the turn key customs you could buy or order, the custom customer builds, the expansion, the first Car Show, the notable show cars, the profiles on your founders, their personal car builds and/or collections-- should I go on?

And naturally with pictures!!!! Thumbs up!
