1925 Doble E-20 Steam Car from Jay Leno's Garage



Jay Leno has done an incredible job restoring a strange and wonderful car that has special meaning at Almost Everything Auto Body. Our founder, Frank Barnard, passed by publicity photos of Doble automobiles every day in the lobby of the old factory that was home and office for a bunch of friends during college. And it was in the Doble factory that Frank and his friend Tod first started a business called Almost Everything. . . and Nothing Else. The 1990 business license is in Frank's office today with the Doble factory address.

A New Look

Color change on 2007 BMW 328i at Almost Everything Auto Body

It was time for a change. Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2007 BMW 328i that the owner changed from silver to gloss black. To make the transition clean, the owner chose to have the car disassembled so the new paint could flow into nooks and crannies and so there would not be overspray on lights and chrome. We removed the grills, door handles, mirrors, mouldings, fuel door and, of course, all of the lights and reflectors. We also painted the insides of the door jambs.
