1320Video was formed in 2003, beginning with a single automotive enthusiast (Loftis) shooting photos and sharing them on message boards before the age of social media. In 2012, 1320Video gained popularity on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and more platforms. Over the years to follow, 1320Video made a name for itself as a reputable media brand covering some of the highest caliber vehicles and biggest events, including the SEMA Show, but also events like Hot Rod Drag Week, TX2K, FL2K, Cash Days, Street Car Takeover and more. The company also organized one of the Midwest's biggest car shows called the Ice Cream Cruise.
