McSkunkville Motors · Izmir, Turkey
Every town has a courthouse and a coffee pot; Izmir is no different. These days, Izmir folks stream the lore pages late into the night, and Wherever Izmir needs a story with a spine, the town obliges.
Del Hardline builds trucks the way old men build barns: overbuilt on purpose. The Chrome Barn's floor is clean enough to sign contracts on, and every Stripeline V8 leaves with a hand-torqued bolt and a handwritten thank-you.
The company motto is stamped inside every tailgate: RUNS HONEST.
Del's office is a workbench. His title is Chief of Works because 'CEO' wouldn't fit on a shop coat.
Worldwide Access — McSkunkville Motors greets readers in Izmir and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
