I've dealt with him for years on EBay,always fast reliable service,and as advertised! The next time I'm in Nashville,to visit my daughter's family,I need to waddle over and checkout his operation.

Mike is a stand up guy. I brought a coil off him and the postal service sent it to Italy instead of New Zealand -He bent over backwards to sort it out and even offered to refund the purchase price . I will be dealing with him again-Karl

Met Mike and his Dad at Hershey this year. Good folks, and great resource.

Hi Everyone, I hope this doesn't hijack things.

I'm jumping in here because I haven't done parts business with Michael, but I remember him very favorably from the Hiawassee meet a few years ago.

If y'all need parts, why not contact Michael directly? That way the auction house doesn't get into everyone's coin purse?

I'd guess being on that vendor's marketplace is helpful to Michael, but I'm also guessing that he gets a little tired of them taking their slice of meat with gravy.

I don't know, but get the idea, that finding and passing along parts, and of course identifying them, is one of his passions.

Now if you're seeing-and-buying on that market, you can ignore me.

I've bought two cars and a bunch of parts for them from Michael over the years, and there is not a finer person in our hobby. Well done to his parents, for raising such a fine young man.

His Dad and Michael are both great to talk to and to deal with!! First Class People!

Michael is a great young man and does a fantastic job as president of the Early Ford V-8 Club. We need more young people like him.

This is in my opinion the best / most accurate post thus far.

Yes; hats off to Danny and Sharon.

I'm on the bandwagon with all the posts. Buy anything you can from Micheal. He's young, knowledgeable, fair. Hats off to Danny and Sharon (his parents) and his great wife and relatively newborn...all of which are involved.

Re: Third Gen Auto
 

YES, THIRD GEN AUTO are the easiest company to deal with especially international purchases. Keep up your great work Michael and family. I have bought many items from them. Michael is the current president of THE EARLY FORD V8 CLUB OF AMERICA. Regards, Kevin.

Great company to deal with, and they have what you need every time.

I agree with every positive comment that's been posted on Third Generation Automotive. Every business transaction that I've had with them has been very positive. In addition to his fine parents helping him in anyway they can, I would also like to mention his wife Jane, who's right in there by his side answering the phone, doing packaging, shipping and invoicing. A totally great family operation in my opinion.

I visited Third Gen Automotive's place of business in person. I'm also a regular customer via mail. Their prices are very fair and shipping cost are cheap. Fast, friendly, reliable service. I even went out to lunch with them! You won't find a better V8 parts source or friendlier folks, any place else. I'm a very particular person and Third Gen Automotive impresses me.

VeryTangled 02-08-2019 05:03 PM

Re: Third Gen Auto
 

Hi Everyone. Back in 2016 I commented that I hadn't joined the ranks of happy customers worldwide. Since then I did some work on my '35 and the Driskell crew at Third Gen Automotive in McMinnville TN have been superior in their assistance! The parts are top notch, real Ford stuff many times. I needed a starter switch and got unbelievable service. There are too many bits to mention, but I have a new go-to vendor.

Nobody's mentioned it but Third Gen Automotive also does rebuild work on things like rears, trannys, carbs, dizzys, fuel pumps, and engines. These folks are really knowledgeable about our old junkers!

Look 'em up!

Great to deal with, thrilled when I see they are sellers for something I need on Ebay. Pete/Ct.

I have been following 1935fordtn on EBay for several years. The volume of parts they have available constantly amazes me. Especially NOS items. Have made several purchases and always been very happy with them. Keep up the good work!

leon bee 02-20-2019 10:32 PM

Re: Third Gen Auto
 

I've also bought from them on ebay and I'm kinda worried they might not make enough on those ebay sales sometimes.

A few days ago on a trip to east Tennessee, I stopped by Third Generation Automotive to meet Michael Driskell in person and to see his shop. He is a remarkable young man.….extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His shop is huge and I’ve never seen so many early Ford parts. He sells, repairs and rebuilds parts, engines, transmissions, differentials, etc., and does restorations. He has a huge eBay Store online parts business and is the current President of the almost 8,000 member national Early Ford V8 Club. Not to mention he is married and a parent. He is one busy guy.

I’ve just received another box of stuff from Mike. He’s always been very reliable, well packed and never made a mistake. Combined shipping to keep costs down. Not much else to say but thank you Michael.

I’ve had nothing but positive experience with Mike and Third Gen. always goes above and beyond. I will keep buying from them in the future.
