Bryan Davis is the Founder of the Malaise Motors Facebook group, 6,000 members strong and growing. Malaise Motors is dedicated to the history, design, manufacture, and roadability of the unloved cars of the Malaise era that began in 1972 and ended in 1995. The groups seats are button tufted, roofs landau, and they roll on the shiniest genuine wire wheel covers available. The 1972 model years were hit with a drop in compression ratios and switched to net horsepower rating in preparation for upcoming emissions regulations. In 1996 OBDII diagnostic electronics came to play ending the Malaise era. When not managing Malaise Motors he is a realtor and property manager who enjoys driving classic Jaguar limousines.

CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
The family business was sold to CarQuest at one point and we retained the real estate. Later, CarQuest closed the store and we had a vacant commercial building that we decided to use it for a classic car repair shop. We had to do quite a bit of work to make the space ready for the shop. In the end, we realized that it was so much more fun to work on your own car than it is to work on other people’s cars!
