In this photo, a young Ron Polimeni competes in a Gymkana with his Volvo PV 544 nearly 50 years ago. Today, Ron and his old car have returned to the race track. Read their story here.
We're a family operation where everybody comes together behind one thing or another. The idea behind this pursuit grew out of our life long love of motor sports, automobiles, scale models, and a myriad of other hobbies. The name Odyssey House is intended to reflect our
philosophy that the journey of life is it's own adventure.
"It's good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." - Ernest Hemingway
Meet the House

Nick Polimeni, " #1 Son" Currently a fabricator with GMT Racing, he's the resident automotive miracle-worker. Enjoys many forms of motorsport and frustrating himself with (very small and detailed) fine scale models.
Lydia Polimeni With majors in photography and interactive media, she lives in DC, works at the NIH, and has been (more or less) around the world and back. Took some pretty cool pictures of it, too.
