At Park’s Precision Detailing, we believe every vehicle has a story, and ours rumbles down the street every morning, purring at every stoplight, daring everyone not to stare.

“There’s just something about this car that makes people light up. It’s not just the engine or the wrap design—it’s the feeling it gives. That’s why we drive her every day.” —Greg & Heather Park


Meet our daily driver: a fully restored 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe, transformed into a real-life Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. This black beauty is more than just a car. She’s a head-turning, award-winning, smile-starting legend. Underneath her fierce exterior is the heart of a race car. The original steel frame cradles a custom-built engine that trembles with restrained power every time the light turns green. She’s loud, proud, and unapologetically fast. With wide tires that squeal around corners and a push-button start that feels like launching a rocket, she delivers pure adrenaline… wrapped in chrome and nostalgia. Inside, it’s a raw experience. The exposed wooden interior frame whispers history while the Virgin Mary on the floorboards rides shotgun, blessing every burnout and green light launch. This little deuce coupe isn't just a car—she's pure joy.


We drive her to and from the shop every day, but on weekends? That’s when she comes alive. Whether we’re dragging State Street, rolling into a car show, or cruising past the lake, she brings out the smiles from everyone—kids pointing in awe, adults snapping pics, and strangers giving us the thumbs up and shouting their pleasure of seeing "a real life Hot Wheels!"


At car shows, people sometimes ask if they can touch the car; and sometimes we invite them to sit inside and push the red start button! This is when the pure magic happens. When someone sits inside our Hot Wheels and hears her thunder to life, it’s like they’re a child again, dreaming big dreams, and they can't stop smiling. Sometimes they cry, but they are always happy tears with a story behind them.


She’s won Best Hot Rod. She’s won Best in Show. She’s won People’s Choice. But her real prize? The look of joy and wonder from every person who meets her. We love to get out in the community and spread smiles for miles and miles.
