Team Tuesday - 3 Questions to Federico José Gaxiola Balsa
Every two weeks, you will get a sight behind our scenes and learn more about the people, who make our company to what it is. Today we introduce you Federico José Gaxiola Balsa (Motorcar Mechanic):
1. What was your first car?
"My first car was a 1970 Mercury Cougar. The car was very special to me because my grandfather bought the vehicle and was also the first owner. When I was 17 years old, he gave it to me. We restored the car together, what took us about three years. I also remember the first ride with this classic beauty after the restoration: Together with my grandmother I made the first spin to a restaurant for dinner."
2. What is your favorite memory with Arthur Bechtel Classic Motors?
"I was really happy to be part of the marketing camapign with our youngest restoration project. I have been working together with the workshop-team on the restoration of the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda for the last year. And a short time ago, the first drive with this car was out in the black forest where we took photos and videos. I had so much fun together with my dear colleagues Tim, Michelle and Flo and really had a great time."
