Alexander Bros. Closes Its Doors

20 07 14 - 12:14



One of the GREATEST custom shops of the 50's & 60's, was located right here in the metro Detroit area. The talented hands & fertile imaginations of Mike & Larry Alexander produced a legion of the coolest custom rides in the country. All of their cars had the flavor & attention to detail that one would expect to come from the Studios of the "Big 3". Their Deora custom was one of the 1st models that I ever built as a kid & it's always spoken to me thru its grace & elegance.

Sadly, Mike Alexander passed away around 10am Friday morning. I quickly got the bad news from Hiser, who was tight with Larry, who passed away a few years ago. Mike was always present at the Detroit Autorama & reveled in being with the local gearheads all weekend long . The Autorama tribute that was held for the A-Bros customs seemed to be so much better than the others that have come after it. Much like the cars & truck they created.

Mike & Larry have joined the ever-growing ranks of heavenly hot rodders & we will miss them a lot.

GodSpeed Mike.

For the most part, that whitelist is free to join for sites with non-invasive ads, but according to the Financial Times, it also accommodates ads from Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Taboola in exchange for hefty fees.
