About Peter Portugal:  
Bio:
"I am an artist who loves cars. My first car was a 1931 Ford that had been abandoned in a field, I was 15 and the year was 1957. I have been towing home dead cars ever since.

By the early 60's I had moved on to a 1932 Chrysler four door convertible sedan which I restored and a 1953 Austin Healey. I majored in architectural engineering at Cal Poly, had a model photography company, did instructional research, and became a contractor specializing in restoring and remodeling period homes and businesses. During my spare time I was building and modifying cars."

"In 1988 it was time to take the engineering, art, and construction skills I had developed along that journey and apply them to my first love - cars. The result was the Dolphin. It is a wooden bodied sports car built in the style of Fagoni and Filaschi."


"From there I started building Packard concept cars, customs and other fun projects. I love what I do and it is my hope that you enjoy the projects shown on this website.
Thank you,
Peter"
