Our Story

Is Garage Deluxe a real place? Well yes and no. My personal workshop has been known as Garage Deluxe for many years. You can see photos of all of my crazy projects old and new. Garage Deluxe is also an virtual place me and my car friends to gather and bench race and spin a few wrenches.

In the beginning

Greg Riley has been working on anything mechanical since his first Schwinn at six years old. His friends Don and Fred taught him all the important stuff about how to fabricate and work on cars. Over the next forty years he has owned, worked on, driven, raced, and talked about every conceivable type of car.
