Season 2026

Looking for a winter car fix without a long road trip? We map out a string of Texas car museums that punch above their weight, from Austin’s rock-and-roll-infused collection to the Hillsboro time capsule and Woody’s Classic Cars and Baseball Museum. The highlight is the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum’s Chaparral Gallery, where engineering legends meet live demonstrations that keep these racers in motion, not mothballed. We wrap the route with Bill’s Backyard Classics in Amarillo—a grassroots trove of hot rods, muscle, and trucks that feels personal and welcoming.

Then we slide behind the wheel of the 2026 Lincoln Aviator Black Label. Think clean, American luxury with modern lighting, rich leather, and a ride that floats without losing composure. The twin-turbo V6 serves smooth, V8-like thrust, but we press on two fronts: efficiency that begs for a hybrid and driver-assist features that demand constant attention. We talk usability, eye-on-road alerts, and why partial automation should reduce cognitive load, not raise it. Pricing and rivals like the MDX, GX, and XC90 help frame where the Aviator shines and where it needs polish.

Ownership realities get real with a concise recall roundup across brands—airbags, cameras, battery cables, and more—followed by a tour of the market’s mood via Hemmings sold prices. From a budget-friendly C4 Corvette to a premium 1959 Cadillac 62, a sleeper Studebaker pickup, and a surprisingly strong Firebird, we unpack what drives value: condition, taste, and story. Local cruise-ins and Monster Jam bring the community energy, while two trends shape the future: dealers reconditioning older, higher-mileage cars to address affordability, and modern salvage networks that make parts sourcing smarter and faster. We close with Honda’s new minimalist logo for its electrified era—a small emblem with big signaling power.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.959
Welcome to another In Wheel Time podcast.

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.279
It's the award-winning In Wheel Time Car Talk Show just ahead.

00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:12.880
A review of the 2026 Lincoln Aviator.

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:13.599
Plus, Mr.

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.679
Mars has driving destinations.

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.800
I'll bring you stories making automotive news headlines this week.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.800
Jeff's got the cruise in and events calendars, and we'll see if we can't get in some more pot stories for you.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.199
Howdy, along with Mike, out of this world, Mars.

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:36.960
We always need more Jeff Zeken, uh, Zeros and Ones Master, engineer, chief engineer David Ainsley, uh South Carolina, and he'll be home tomorrow.

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:38.719
Yeah, he's out there doing business.

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:39.119
Yeah.

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:39.679
Business.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.960
So uh I'm Don Armstrong.

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.399
Glad you could join us on this Saturday.

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:43.439
I promised uh Mr.

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.119
Mars to get in his driving destinations, and we're looking forward to it, Mars.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.000
Here we go.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.920
Yeah, I wanted to finish up talking about some of the car museums.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.079
If you're looking for something to do in the winter, you don't really want to go out on a big cruise, but you're looking for something to get your car fix in.

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.240
Look around your area for these small, unique car museums.

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.759
They're all across the state.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.519
And today we're going to start with the Austin Rock and Roll Car Museum.

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.640
Now, it is a nonprofit car museum, and it's tied into music, films, and pop culture.

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.640
Of course, it's in Austin, so it's got a little bit of everything in it, including the classic cars.

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.439
Now, it does have open hours on select weekends, and it's a great looking, looking at the pictures of it and doing the research.

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:31.519
That would be a real fun place to go to check out the cars and rock and roll and whatever else they got in there because they got a little bit of everything from Austin.

00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.439
Then uh the Roadside America Museum up in Hillsborough.

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.000
We've been there a couple of times with them uh doing some video tours of their place.

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.000
Now, this is a private uh classic car and automobilia collection.

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.359
It's in a historic Ford dealership there with 40s to 50s vehicles and vintage signage.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.719
They have a lot of groups have uh events up there, a lot of clubs.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.920
The Hot Rod Tour of Texas has been known to make a stop in there.

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:02.799
It's a really cool place to go and see a lot of Americana from an automotive perspective.

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:10.479
Now you can also go down to uh Cross Plains to Woody's Classic Cars and Baseball Museum.

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.560
Now, this is a big place.

00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:18.400
It's amazingly big, and uh they've got a lot of classic cars, of course, with the baseball.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:35.439
They got a different collection of classics from mid-20th century, and it's on Highway 36 West, so it's got a easy to kind of find, but you got to be out around Ambolene and Brownwood to find this place, but it might be well worth your trip if you're close enough to go look at this.

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.400
Be sure and check the website, get a better idea, and check the hours, particularly during the winter.

00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:48.319
Then uh a really cool museum that I've tried to get to a couple of times, the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.159
Now, this is automotive and racing history.

00:02:50.240 --> 00:03:00.879
Now, it's primarily an oil industry museum out in uh West Texas, but what it's known for, the Chaparral Racing Car Gallery.

00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.360
Now they've got a lot of historic cars in there that were built by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp.

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:16.560
And it really appeals to car enthusiasts because you get to see the cars and you get to see the oil industry and how it's all tied together, and they got a lot of nice displays in there.

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:26.400
And about every other month, if you time it right, they do take the cars out into the parking lot, into the area out there, and they start them and they drive them around a little bit.

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.919
That's part of the maintenance on them to keep them running and keep them in pristine shape.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.680
They don't just sit there forever and ever.

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.319
These cars run and they uh you'll be able to see them ride around a little bit.

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.360
Uh, the last one I wanted to point out was Bill's Backyard Classics up in Amarillo.

00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.400
Now, this is a private classic car collection.

00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.800
They got over a hundred vehicles in there spanning hot rods, muscle cars, and vintage trucks.

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.599
So it's a grassroots auto museum experience.

00:03:51.840 --> 00:04:00.000
But up in that Texas panhandle, it's very popular and it's got a lot of great things to see if you go up in that part of the Texas environment.

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.759
Just a few things that uh you could do during the winter to go check out some automobile museums.

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.800
Be sure and look around your area and see where some of these small ones are that you might find a little bit closer.

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:11.840
Good idea.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.039
Thank you, sir.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.240
Time now for this hour's car review.

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.800
I had a chance to drive the 2026 Lincoln Aviator.

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.560
Final assembly location, Chicago, Illinois.

00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.240
Available trim levels, the Premier, the Reserve, and the Black Label.

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.759
Um, I reviewed, drove the all-wheel drive black label.

00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.680
This is a standard SUV.

00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.240
Uh, it includes three rows with a total of six seats.

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:43.199
Sharp looking.

00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.079
Exterior changes for last model year.

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:55.519
Well, it was introduced in 2020, but they've done some updates to it, and it looks it looks modern, and it uh doesn't really look like it needs an update, to be honest with you.

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:06.399
Sharp looking Lincoln Grill, chrome bling or tuxedo black appearance trims, roof line narrows at the roof, uh back at the back of the roof there, as you can see.

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.720
Uh, modern lighting, front and rear.

00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.680
But I like the straight lines, the conservative, all-American black tie look.

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.199
What could use improvement?

00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.120
Can't wait to see the new design.

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.759
You know that it's got to be on paper already if they haven't already started making parts.

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.600
Interior highlights, our black label is luxurious throughout the cabin.

00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:34.800
Um to die for comfortable seating, high-class leather appointments in our top-of-the-line vehicle.

00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.920
Attention to detail is evident throughout.

00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.560
Uh, cargo room behind the third row.

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.800
It's small when the third row is up.

00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.360
Do you seat that many people in the third row?

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.519
I wouldn't think so unless it's the kids.

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.360
What I liked, overall comfort.

00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.720
But it could use improvement.

00:05:50.959 --> 00:06:00.079
Steering wheel controls lead to eyes off the road because you have to look at a screen to see where you are with all of that.

00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.360
Not a big fan.

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.319
Self-driving feature that needs improvement.

00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:14.560
I don't understand why you would have a self-driving feature that you have to keep your eyes on the road all the time.

00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.240
You know what I'm saying?

00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:16.560
Yeah.

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.680
I don't understand the whole philosophy.

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.399
You may have some thoughts on it yourself.

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.720
Maybe you've got a self-driving vehicle.

00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:25.839
More power to you.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:35.759
Three-liter twin turbo V6, 400 horsepower, 415 pound feet of torque, 10-speed automatic transmission with a total rating of 5,000 pounds.

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:36.480
Pretty good.

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.519
17 miles per gallon city is what it's rated, 25 on the highway for a combined of 20.

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.160
I got 20.3 miles per gallon over 506 miles.

00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.319
Shame on me, I went over the 500 miles.

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:49.920
Oh, Lordy Man.

00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.199
Uh, what I liked, the smooth V8 like power.

00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:56.879
What could use improvement?

00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.800
How about a hybrid version of that?

00:06:59.120 --> 00:06:59.680
Why not?

00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.519
Get a little bit better gas mileage.

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:01.759
Yeah.

00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:02.639
Same power.

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.079
I'm all for it.

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.519
Um, this is underpinned by Explorer parts.

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.720
Ford Explorer is a unibody chassis.

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.319
So this is not a body on frame.

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.360
Those things are nice too.

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:14.399
Ford Explorers are nice.

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:15.279
Yeah, they are.

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.600
And this is the obviously the gussied up version as I like to call it.

00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.959
Um, what I liked about the ride and handling, superb adaptive suspension.

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.720
It was smooth, baby.

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.519
It's a link.

00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.360
What could use improvement?

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.519
Competition from Cadillac.

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.079
I was gonna say this one rides like a Cadillac, right?

00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.360
How do we always do that?

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:35.759
I don't know.

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.600
Why doesn't Cadillac was have a uh a competitor this way?

00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.439
Well, it the term comes from the luxury Cadillac at the beginning.

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.240
No, I got I got it.

00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:45.360
That's just an old saying.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.000
No, I get it.

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:46.959
But no, I like this.

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:47.839
I do too.

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.199
Uh I like it a lot.

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.759
Uh, not so sure about the price, though.

00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:52.480
You might not like that.

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:53.040
Oh, okay.

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:53.439
Let's go.

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.319
Base trim price, of course, is the top of the line.

00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:57.680
$85,170.

00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.480
Price is tested,$88,495.

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.399
Mars has got one on order.

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.959
Base model price, the entry level price on this aviator,$52,238.

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:09.439
That's okay.

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:16.160
Competitors, let's put the Lexus GX up against it for$64,735.

00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.600
The Acura MDX,$51.8.

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.000
Now remember now, we're talking about base prices.

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.519
Base price on the aviators$52,238.

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:31.519
The Balbo XC90, also a competitor,$61,050.

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.320
Wow.

00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.960
Now you talked about uh the self-driving aspect of it and eyes on the road.

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.679
My vehicle's got a feature where you when you wear sunglasses and things, it'll tell you, hey, keep your eyes on the road.

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.519
The little thing will flash up on the screen.

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.120
That's not part of the self-driving, it's just a different feature that they put on.

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:54.000
Well, I have a tendency to drive with my hands closed at 12 o'clock.

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399
Well, when I got my eyes open, I got it there.

00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.080
And it'll block a lot of that, and it'll tell me to keep your eyes on the road.

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.759
All I got to do is move my hands to the proper one and three position or whatever.

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:04.320
Yeah.

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.639
Uh I mean it's very irritating.

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.200
Do you do you you still have a driver's license?

00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.679
The state of Texas gives you a driver's license, Mars?

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.679
Well, uh we need to move on to the next segment.

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.320
Has it been suspended or something?

00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:18.879
No.

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:19.679
Not yet.

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:20.960
Not yet.

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.240
Not again.

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.279
Not again.

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:27.519
Hey, I had so many tickets growing up, the cop and I were on a first name basis.

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.679
One of the things that uh we need to get in, a couple of things actually.

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.120
Uh I want to do the recalls.

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.240
Let's do that right now, okay?

00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:35.840
Can we do that real quick?

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:51.679
Um, BMW, airbag inflators may rupture 228, 320, 328, 335, 428, and 430, 430, 435i, and the M235i.

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.240
2014 to 2015 model year.

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:55.039
So they're old.

00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.759
Uh insufficient pedestrian warning sound.

00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.200
Have you heard that on a on a card?

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:00.159
Insufficient.

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:00.960
Insufficient.

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.000
Is it not loud enough?

00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:02.879
Apparently not.

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.039
And it goes when you put it in reverse.

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.600
Oh that's Equinox EV 25 to 26.

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.440
Rear hatch, how does it go?

00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.639
Rear hatch support bracket may fail.

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.960
Subaru Forester 2026.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:33.919
And I think every Audi that has ever been made, future image may not display from, let's see, 2019 to the current model year, almost every Audi on here.

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:39.600
So if you got an Audi, uh, might want to check, make sure that yours isn't being recalled.

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:39.919
Yeah.

00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:41.120
Chances are it is.

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.480
BMW I4 E Drive 40, improperly secured positive battery cable.

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.240
Well, get zapped pretty good.

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:48.639
Yeah.

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.559
It doesn't work.

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.360
Oh, pow! Underneath the positive side?

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.279
Positive side if it's running.

00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.480
Rear view camera image may not display again on the Volvos.

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.679
22.

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.799
See, 21 to 25 model years.

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.919
Too many to name.

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.399
Incorrect spare tire installed.

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.919
Oh, did we do this one?

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.399
I did see that.

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.200
This is another one.

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.039
Nissan Rogue for 2026.

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.159
Oh, 26.

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:14.720
Uh-huh.

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.559
They're still putting them in there, apparently.

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.159
The wrong they put the wrong spare in or they put it in wrong.

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.000
Well, it says here incorrect spare tire installed.

00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.639
Yeah.

00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:25.200
Okay.

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:29.360
Uh park outside high voltage battery risk for the Volvo EX30.

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:29.840
Oh, wow.

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:30.799
2025 model.

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.000
Volvo EX30.

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:32.879
Park it outside.

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.000
That's the SUV.

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.759
Okay, we got a couple of seconds here.

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.759
Let's do the Heming sold car roundup.

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:38.399
Go for it, Jeff.

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.480
Is Jeff Jeff Heitzman uh with us this morning?

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.120
I don't know.

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.159
Yeah, let's see here.

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.399
I hope that he's not seeing him.

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:45.840
George is here and Candace.

00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:46.639
George here.

00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:47.120
George here.

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.320
George, we love you.

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:49.919
George has been very ill.

00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.559
And uh I was gonna say something at the end of the show about that.

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.519
I talked to him.

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.879
Well, uh he and I exchanged uh text this week.

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.360
Sure.

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.120
And uh he's really been under the weather.

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.679
And uh prayers for you, George, and uh we love you.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.200
And uh hang in there, bud.

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.519
Uh we think that you're gonna come out of this just fine.

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.000
Yep.

00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.759
Okay, first up, the 1995 Chevrolet Corvette.

00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.159
How much do you think that the 95 went for?

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.039
Now I have a 2001, so this is uh a little bit, this is the last model.

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.000
No, I'm sorry.

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.080
It is the model, it's a C4.

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:20.879
This is a C4.

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:22.080
Mine is a C5.

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:22.960
This is a C4.

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.320
C4 Corvette, how much do you think that this sold for?

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:28.879
17.

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:29.840
17.

00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.159
Now those are aftermarket wheels, aren't they?

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.440
They appear to be.

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.080
Yes.

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.120
Yeah.

00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.440
You're gonna have that kind of stuff in cars like that.

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.399
Well, no, yeah, yeah.

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.440
I mean, I think it looks good.

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.120
I was just thinking, pointing out if you're figuring out how much it's gonna cost.

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.000
I don't think that it would add or subtract to it, really.

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.200
It might it might be a uh I don't think it's an ad.

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:50.720
How much?

00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:51.360
17.

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.039
Jeff says 17.

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.000
We're gonna go with$12,600 is the sold price on that one.

00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.919
Next up, a$1959 Cadillac 62.

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.279
And yes, do we have it?

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.480
Can we see it?

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.120
Oh my god.

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.399
Can we tell you that it looks like it's been built Elvis Baby?

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.000
It looks like an Elvis car, yeah.

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.360
Yeah, an Elvis car.

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:23.200
So it's a 59, and my guess is that it there's something special about it because of the price, but it's a 59 Cadillac 62.

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:24.080
How much would that go for?

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.159
65,000?

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:28.960
Okay.

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.639
Anyone else want to guess?

00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:31.919
Yeah, here they come.

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.759
Okay, coming in now.

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.080
Somebody's coming in now.

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.039
Who is it?

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.080
Everybody's flabbergasted.

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.399
Okay, well, be flabbergasted at$115,500.

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.039
So there was that one.

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.960
All right, next up, 1994 Pontiac Firebird.

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:55.440
This one looks like it's had a repaint, at least, if not more.

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.720
It doesn't look uh factory stock at all.

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.679
94 Pontiac Firebird, how much?

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.960
Oh wait, that's not a firebird.

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:03.840
Overshot.

00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:04.879
Mike Overshot.

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:05.919
Mike Overshot.

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.360
You there right there.

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.360
94 Pontiac Firebird.

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.720
Did they paint it with a roller?

00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.159
A roller.

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.039
Could be.

00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.360
I painted a car with a roller once.

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.600
Uh 94 Pontiac Firebird?

00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:18.480
12,000.

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:19.759
12,000, really.

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.200
It's got a nice looking paint job for$12,000, don't you?

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:24.960
Yeah, the stripe on it looks pretty good.

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:26.000
Wheels match.

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.440
Sold for$31.5.

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:28.320
Oh boy.

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.960
Okay, now let's go to your Studebaker, Mars.

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.600
That would be your Studebaker Trans Star.

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.080
And it looks like it's all stock.

00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.879
Um, it's a very unusual vehicle.

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:44.000
It may not look uh like it up front here, but if you get up close to it, you go, that's odd.

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.000
I don't believe that's a Ford F-150.

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:46.799
No, it's not.

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.840
It's a Studebaker.

00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:48.720
It's a studie.

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.720
So how much do you think that study went for?

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.000
I'm gonna say 21.

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:52.960
21.

00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:54.639
No other guesses?

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.360
I know that we're gonna try to guys kind of time crunch.

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.080
Okay.

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.440
So uh this one sold for$32,025.

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.080
Wow.

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.200
Looks all stock.

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.159
Yeah, hope it is.

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:06.960
Like the copper car.

00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:08.960
Yeah, that's one of those that you wouldn't want to mess with.

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.240
Probably has a straight six in it.

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:11.120
It's a parade truck.

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.759
Well, kind of to me, yeah.

00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:14.720
All right.

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:21.200
Speaking of trucks, let's go to the 1978 Ford F-Series.

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.840
Uh clearly it's has got aftermarket wheels on it.

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.080
Um, it looks like it's been repainted.

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.960
Yes, 78 F-Series.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:32.000
$9,000.

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:32.879
9,000.

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.000
Nine is hitting me.

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.000
Well, it's a truck.

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:36.240
Yeah.

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:36.879
Okay.

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.279
So uh it sold for$17,325.

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:47.679
See, so there what I'm saying is there are a lot of these cars that easily would fit on the Hot Rod Tour of Texas.

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:47.919
Yeah.

00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.120
And uh we've our guest from last week, David's back on.

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:51.919
David Lysick.

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.120
Oh, David, okay.

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.039
And uh so here here's one for you.

00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:02.000
The next one up is a 1948 Mercury 89M.

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:05.440
This to me is nothing but a Grease car.

00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:05.919
Yeah.

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.799
Remember Grease?

00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.200
Yeah.

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.559
Paint it white, there you go.

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.039
There you go.

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.120
48 Mercury 89M.

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:11.679
How much?

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:13.600
Oh, it is a convertible.

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:14.559
Yeah.

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:16.639
65,000.

00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:17.519
65?

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.080
Yeah.

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:18.480
Really?

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:18.799
Yeah.

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.000
It reminds me of Rain Man, but that's a Buick in Rain Man.

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.000
Okay, well, it sold for 2393.

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.679
Probably three on the column, I would imagine.

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:30.720
I would think.

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:37.440
All right, and uh our final one of the day is a 1940 Ford Standard.

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.480
I didn't know that there was such a thing as a Ford Standard.

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:42.000
They made it deluxe.

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.320
Uh 40 Ford Standard.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.000
Um, and it's it's a very nice car based on the price.

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:48.960
That's a hint.

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:49.200
Okay.

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:49.919
How much do you think?

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.480
That's what it looks like.

00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.320
Looks like it's hot rodted a little bit with a tire.

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:53.919
20 grand.

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:54.399
Yeah.

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:56.080
Well, no, you're not even close.

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.759
41,990.

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:00.320
Nice price to me.

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.600
Yeah, for you.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:02.159
Yeah.

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.840
I'll buy every 20.

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:04.400
Okay.

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.559
Well, we got all that in, I'm glad you report.

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:07.119

No, we already did that.

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:15.920
Sorry.

00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.759
Time now for the cruise at an events calendar.

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:18.400
There you go.

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:23.839
Next week, January 24th, is the coffee cars and burger stop.

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.559
This is in Italy, Texas, which is north of Waco, just south of Dallas.

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.599
It's up there in Italy.

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.400
It's from 8 a.m.

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:30.960
to 10 a.m.

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:31.920
Little Italy.

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.720
No, it's just Italy.

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.200
Italy.

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:34.319
It's probably bigger Italy.

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.640
148 West Main Street, the Burger Stop in Italy, uh hosts this coffee.

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.640
The event invites car enthusiasts to gather for coffee, breakfast, and talk.

00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.759
Attendees can bring any type of vehicle they want, enjoy the displays.

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.920
There's no entry fee, so get out there and do it.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.079
Uh meet up at Rowdy Tea Burger Shop.

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:50.799
That's what they're talking about.

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.599
Rowdy Tea.

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.160
Rowdy T.

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.200
Bring the Fiat.

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.240
Yep, there you go.

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.400
And then they got a double down cruise and crawl.

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.400
Uh we can participate in the crawl part of it.

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.279
Uh 3 p.m.

00:19:59.359 --> 00:19:59.839
at IHOP.

00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:05.680
It's at 2617 North Highway 75 and Sherman, which is up a little bit north of Dallas.

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.960
That would be the Aiden thing.

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.440
Yeah.

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.920
Mustang Legacy Club and Jeep Legacy Club will be hosting this event.

00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:15.920
Rolls out at 3 30 p.m.

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.640
Attendees can park, socialize, and do all this stuff.

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:20.720
They got a little casino thing going on there.

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.720
So go out there and enjoy that.

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.759
Freddy's monthly cruise in, and that is in Pflugerville.

00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.240
So if you're heading that way, it's a good ride out there.

00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:28.960
It's at 5 p.m.

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.519
to 9 p.m.

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.279
It's at 2602 West Pecan Street in Pflugerville.

00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:34.799
So get out there and enjoy that.

00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.359
And then on the 24th in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome, 7 p.m.

00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.519
is the Monster Jam.

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.880
So and that's coming here too.

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:43.519
Sunday.

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:47.200
It's coming here after we do the uh Auto Boater Show, I guess a week later.

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:53.200
So this features 12,000-pound trucks performing stunts such as standing on two wheels and flying through the air.

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.240
Now, if you want to see that live, you can just follow Mike around.

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:57.119
He drives like that.

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:01.759
Popular trucks include Gravedigger, El Loco, and Sparkle Smash.

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.440
So get out there and do that.

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.440
Anyone two and older needs a ticket, so if you're two and younger, you get in free.

00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:08.480
So there you go.

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.359
You know, it used to be Joey Chitwood's thrill show.

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:13.920
Did you ever see that on TV?

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.079
Yeah.

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:15.440
I actually see that.

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:15.759
Really?

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.640
Yeah, live in the living color at Meyer, Joseph F.

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:19.599
Meyer Speedway.

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:19.759
Wow.

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.119
Yeah, they used to make the uh dirt track circuit and to kind of play do their stuff in the infield.

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.559
Yeah, yeah, good stuff.

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:33.839
Yeah, they still kind of do that at the NASCAR events on the infield sometimes before the pre, like the day before the pre-event stuff.

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.640
I've seen them at NASCAR's, but it wasn't Joey Chitwood.

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.759
It was some other Joey Chitwood, I think, he made the name for himself.

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.480
There were lots of uh cars and all that.

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:43.599
Yeah, all white.

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:44.640
Yeah, yeah.

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.559
So if they wrecked them, they know what color they were.

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:48.240
And then there was a joke if you got an accident.

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.000
Who do you think you are, Joey Chitwood?

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.519
There's that.

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.880
Yes, exactly.

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.640
Um, a couple stories I wanted to get in before the end of the show.

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:59.759
Dealers are taking a fresh look at older used vehicles.

00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:00.319
You know, Mr.

00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.119
Mars, we need to get a hold of the Emmons before they hit the road.

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.960
We need to talk about this.

00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:11.440
Um, yeah, looking at older used vehicles that previously didn't make the cut and were sent straight to auction.

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:20.319
Instead, many are investing in reconditioning and selling older trade-ins amid rising car prices and tight inventory in June.

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.240
Holman devised a new strategy for older used vehicles.

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:33.759
It created a reconditioning checklist specifically for those cars which are increasingly showing up at dealerships amid a vehicle affordability crunch.

00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:49.119
A 2012 Toyota Camry with 163,000 miles on it, for example, still has a whole lot of life in it, according to Chris Morgan, Holman's vice president of retail inventory optimization.

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.160
Like that title.

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:58.400
It's the kind of car that three or four years ago would be unlikely to be found on a franchise dealer's lot.

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:08.880
Morgan added, but customers are hungry for these kinds of products, so Holman needs to get the cars retail ready while maintaining its return on investment.

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:15.920
So they send them through this checklist thing in the reconditioning department, and boom, there you go.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.799
And there's problem is though, if you get them too old, find them parts for them.

00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:22.400
Well, you can't do it.

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:28.240
And that's one of the things that you certainly need to reconsider or consider when you're buying a used vehicle of any kind.

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:28.559
Right.

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:30.000
Are they still making the car?

00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:31.519
Are parts still available for it?

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:32.880
Has it been wrecked?

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.319
You know, what kind of conditions?

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:35.839
The two things there that I see.

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:44.079
Mike's right on that because it I think they can be very selective on mileage versus what how old the car is, and then they can find parts for it.

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:53.839
And the other thing, these multi-point inspections, that's been around for a million years, because when I was with Auto Nation, that was one of the things that you were uh selling.

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:55.839
Yeah.

00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:04.400
My son inherited a uh I think it's a 2010 Camry with 50 something thousand miles on it, you know, straight from a one-owner, that kind of thing.

00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.480
And brake pads, things like that, they're easy to find.

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:16.319
Pull the door handle off and need a new door handle because it's old and broken, and now you got to go digging through a salvage yard to find stuff.

00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:16.799
Yep.

00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.079
But you know, the salvage yards in our era were much different than they are today.

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:22.480
Yes.

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.039
Because today they know what parts sell.

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.079
And most of those parts are on their shelf.

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.880
They've already denutered the car.

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:33.200
Right.

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:39.359
And uh, well, for lack of a better term, they just symbolic parts off of parted it out, strip it.

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:43.599
Here's the transmission, here's the engine, here's the door handle, here's the trunk lid, that sort of stuff.

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.640
Pretty much chop it.

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:50.079
Yeah, and they all have this network that they are all part of.

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.720
So if you go online, you'll find the networks.

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:54.240
That'd be a good story, Mike.

00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:00.720
And it's and the network has a link to all these different used cart places.

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:02.720
And you'll find a part.

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.079
If it's available, it's out there.

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:05.920
It might be across country, but you'll find it.

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.319
That's correct.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:06.960
Right, right.

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.240
Most of them will ship it to you if it's not too big.

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.799
And I thought that this was a very interesting story that I must read to you.

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:27.680
Honda is getting a new minimalistic logo for the new electrified era that will be introduced worldwide from 2027 on everything from cars to dealerships.

00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:42.160
The restyled H mark adopts a wider, squattier stance with the vertical arms tilting out like two outstretched hands to serve the needs of customers, according to Honda Motor Company.

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:44.079
Love that marketing department.

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.319
The refreshed badge drops the encircling border ring.

00:25:48.480 --> 00:26:03.599
In detailing the roll-up plan, January 13th, Japan's number two automaker said the updated logo will be applied to next gen electric and hybrid vehicles with models introduced from 2027 going forward.

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:11.200
When I read that story, they showed uh rendering of the new logo and it and they put it compared to one of the first Honda Civics that came out.

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.000
And there was sort of similar similarities on that as well.

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.319
We're gonna wrap up today's show after this quick break.
