RCK 0930 BUGGIES (1).jpg

Tony and Kathy Edwards ride in the Leaksville Christmas parade in one of their Carolina Dune Buggies.

Carolina Dune Buggies operates from a small garage in the sharp curve of Moncure Street in Eden. 

Carolina Dune Buggies owner Tony Edwards looks through some paint samples. He sends new customers outside with the bag so they can see full sparkling effect of the sunlight on the finishes before choosing their color.

Tony Edwards said his shop can build and repair not only dune buggies, but sand rails like this one.

Chassis fitted with bodies await assembly in the front yard of the shop.
