“We feel this partnership is a great fit, as the Ringbrothers’ focus on performance and quality mirrors our own,” said Steven Clancy, President of Prestone Products Corporation. “Ringbrothers cars are recognized by enthusiasts across the globe and we’re thrilled to collaborate with them not only as a partner, but as a customer as well. From working with Mike and Jim, to showcasing current Ringbrothers vehicles at SEMA and other consumer events around the country, to our own upcoming project car, we have exciting things in store that we think people are going to love.”
Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers have a long history with Prestone, having used its products for years in everything from their daily drivers to the one-of-a-kind custom cars they build, making Prestone the perfect partner for Ringbrothers. The Rings also have a lot of history with the car that they will be building for Prestone. When the brothers were young, they would see it driving around their hometown of Plain, Wisconsin.
“Prestone is one of the most iconic brands in the automotive world, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to work with them as both a sponsor and a car build customer,” said Jim Ring. “Ever since I can remember, we’ve used Prestone antifreeze in our cars, from the ones we tinkered with when we were kids, to the highly customized cars we build today.” Mike Ring added, “Prestone is a great company that makes best-in-class products and we’re honored to partner with them. We can’t wait to get started on their build, especially because of the history Jim and I personally share with this car.”
More information about the partnership and vehicle build will be released at the 2016 SEMA Show press conference in the Prestone booth #30327 on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. PT. Members of the media are also invited to stay immediately following the press conference for a cocktail hour from 1:30-2:30 p.m. For those not attending SEMA, the press conference will be livestreamed on the Ringbrothers Facebook page using Facebook Live.
