In 1988 I opened a business in Villa Park, IL called Emmons Coachworks, Ltd. Following our opening the local newspaper described our business as"a candy store for anyone who loves cars". That accurately described our approach to customers and our philosophy about the business. Over the next 25+ years we learned a few things about car care, the best products for your car and how to use them. On this website you can learn all of our secrets . . . for achieving "The Perfect Detail".
When we sold Emmons Coachworks, Ltd. in 2011 and started Virginia Motoring LLC we continued to provide unique embroidered apparel including caps, shirts, jackets, and other specialized goods with embroidered automotive emblems. Over 125 unique embroidered emblems are available, including well known names such as Alfa Romeo, MG, Jaguar and Ferrari as well as rare names such as Devon, Chapparal, O.S.C.A. and BLAKELY!! We have two separate Blakely logos that can be embroidered on your choice of apparel.

In the '70's Dick convinced Tom Yankaitis, who was just out of high school, to start an auto repair business next to Dick and Denny's shop. Tom would buy wrecked Pintos, strip them of necessary parts for the Blakely kit, sand blast and paint the parts to sell as a kit to customers who didn't want to do the dirty work themselves. He would also contract with customers to deliver a completed Blakely if they wanted it delivered as a complete car.
