Season 2025 2025 In Wheel Time

Special In Wheel Time Replay - What happens when childhood dreams of muscle cars finally come true? Danon Hollinger joins us at the Lone Star Street Rod Association's 50th anniversary celebration to share her journey from Hot Rod magazine fan to proud owner of a gleaming white 1978 Pontiac Trans Am.

Unlike most girls growing up, Danon decorated her headboard with car magazine centerfolds instead of pop stars. Her fascinating story takes us from her early fascination with a high school crush's '69 Camaro to discovering something unexpected—a Trans Am with a poignant backstory. The previous owner had lovingly restored it for his son who, after a tragic accident, could never drive it. Now this beautiful machine has found new life with an owner who truly appreciates its power and presence.

The conversation takes a few detours through Danon's unique name (from an old Western film), her career as a teacher now enjoying retirement, and the modifications they've made to transform their Trans Am from drag racer to comfortable cruiser. Their upgrade to a Tremec five-speed transmission highlights the perfect balance they've struck between preserving vintage character and enhancing drivability.

We also explore the joy of car club culture as Danon shares adventures with her Houston-based Great Classics club—from "margarita meetings" to cross-country trips to shows in Reno and along the Mississippi coast. Her enthusiasm for decorating the Trans Am for Christmas parades and local charity events showcases how classic cars become more than possessions—they're vehicles for building community and creating lasting memories.

Later, Jeff presents his Car Culture segment featuring the best US cities for vintage car shows, from Detroit's Woodward Dream Cruise to the elegance of Pebble Beach. Tune in for a heartwarming reminder that automotive passion knows no boundaries—and sometimes the perfect car finds you when you least expect it.

We got him out of bed.

00:00:42.945 --> 00:00:48.395
He's here, and so am I, and I don't know how or why, but I'm, don Armstrong, glad you could join us today.

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:58.402
we have with us right now this beautiful 1978 Firebird Trans Am, and it's owned by Danone Hollinger.

00:00:58.402 --> 00:00:59.365
Yes, I got that.

00:00:59.365 --> 00:01:00.186
Did I do that right?

00:01:00.186 --> 00:01:00.567
Uh-huh.

00:01:00.588 --> 00:01:02.170
All right, danone.

00:01:02.512 --> 00:01:05.439
Uh-huh Like All right.

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:06.340
So she did on like the yogurt.

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:07.501
No, sir, it's not.

00:01:07.722 --> 00:01:09.364
Did anybody ever ask you that before?

00:01:09.563 --> 00:01:12.206
Yes, it came from a movie, and I'd rather not.

00:01:12.206 --> 00:01:14.790
It's an old Western movie.

00:01:14.989 --> 00:01:16.031
Let's talk about the car.

00:01:16.031 --> 00:01:18.212
Yeah, Talk about no, I know Well.

00:01:18.212 --> 00:01:20.015
No, she didn't want to talk about that.

00:01:20.596 --> 00:01:21.777
So no what's wrong with that?

00:01:21.777 --> 00:01:27.504
I mean, she doesn't want to talk about it, but I want to talk about it, and this is our show.

00:01:27.543 --> 00:01:33.954
My mother loved unique names and she saw a movie a long time ago.

00:01:33.954 --> 00:01:38.942
It's called Westward the Women and in it was Dan On.

00:01:38.942 --> 00:01:43.852
Didn't think much of it until I saw the movie and I came up to my mother.

00:01:43.852 --> 00:01:47.909
I said Mama, you named me after a prostitute, see, I knew the movie.

00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:48.634
and you came up to my mother.

00:01:48.634 --> 00:01:49.540
I said Mama, you named me after a prostitute.

00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:55.046
See, I knew the movie and you had to go there, dad, and I said could you not have picked another name?

00:01:55.046 --> 00:01:56.789
She said it was either that or Dallas.

00:01:56.789 --> 00:01:57.911
I said I liked it on.

00:01:59.052 --> 00:01:59.513
I do too.

00:01:59.513 --> 00:02:00.353
I love it.

00:02:00.353 --> 00:02:05.012
I've never heard it before, yeah, and I didn't watch the movie, so I did not know.

00:02:05.012 --> 00:02:05.700
And I'm not going to apologize.

00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:10.699
I mean, obviously we can talk about it.

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.752
I'm a teacher, so I really can't talk too much about that to my students.

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.866
And they don't know so it's fine and you can't say it's a family name.

00:02:18.861 --> 00:02:20.205
No, it's not a family name.

00:02:20.326 --> 00:02:20.927
Do you have children?

00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:21.770
Yes, I do.

00:02:25.099 --> 00:02:25.481
I got three kiddos.

00:02:25.481 --> 00:02:26.164
I got two daughters and a son.

00:02:26.185 --> 00:02:28.155
Okay, and their names are Normal names.

00:02:28.537 --> 00:02:29.099
Normal names.

00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:33.385
Jessica, katie and Eric yes, yes, normal names.

00:02:33.385 --> 00:02:34.490
There's normal names.

00:02:35.924 --> 00:02:36.872
I have a Katie also.

00:02:36.872 --> 00:02:37.679
Oh, do you, yeah, yeah.

00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:40.108
I wasn't going to strap my children with that.

00:02:40.108 --> 00:02:41.600
No, not like my mother did.

00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:41.941
It's all right.

00:02:41.961 --> 00:02:42.521
No, not like my mother did.

00:02:42.521 --> 00:02:44.143
It's all right, but she had good intentions.

00:02:44.163 --> 00:02:45.544
I'm sure yes, she did.

00:02:45.764 --> 00:02:51.669
She obviously was affected by this woman's part in the movie let's go with impressed.

00:02:51.669 --> 00:02:54.612
Well, one way or the other, she was impressed.

00:02:55.013 --> 00:02:55.813
You have to watch it.

00:02:55.813 --> 00:02:57.795
It's a very funny old Western movie Is it?

00:02:57.795 --> 00:02:59.197
Really, it's very funny.

00:02:59.257 --> 00:02:59.616
I like it.

00:02:59.616 --> 00:03:01.286
So the 78 Pontiac.

00:03:01.486 --> 00:03:01.687
Yes.

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:05.580
I like it.

00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:05.801
Thank you.

00:03:05.801 --> 00:03:07.146
So how did you acquire this car?

00:03:07.819 --> 00:03:12.853
So I have been in love with Hot Rod since I was young.

00:03:12.853 --> 00:03:17.372
I wasn't the typical girl that had singers on their walls.

00:03:17.372 --> 00:03:27.443
I had the middle fold out of the Hot Rod magazines in my car, I mean in my house, and I used to Did you staple them to the bedroom wall, like my headboard, the headboard I had?

00:03:27.504 --> 00:03:28.167
it on my headboard.

00:03:28.167 --> 00:03:29.612
There you go, yeah and um.

00:03:29.612 --> 00:03:34.772
So I was always in love with cars, but that wasn't something that I could I could fulfill, you know.

00:03:34.772 --> 00:03:36.920
So I had a boy that I really liked.

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:56.526
I actually went to school, graduated here in granbury and really grew up in glenrose but I graduated here in granbury and there was a boy that I really liked will not say his name and he had a 69 Camaro, fell in love with the car more than I did the story okay, love the car.

00:03:56.546 --> 00:03:59.935
So I grew up I wanted a hot rod.

00:03:59.935 --> 00:04:01.639
I really did, couldn't ever do.

00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:09.068
It ended up marrying my love of my life over here and he had his own vehicle and I'm like, oh gosh, I want one, I want one.

00:04:09.068 --> 00:04:14.149
Well, we've been looking, but the prices of 69 Camaros are ridiculous.

00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:14.872
Absolutely.

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:15.862
On teacher's salary.

00:04:15.862 --> 00:04:16.807
You can't afford one.

00:04:16.807 --> 00:04:24.490
So we were looking around and one of our car club members, his brother, was selling this Trans Am.

00:04:24.490 --> 00:04:32.391
This Trans Am had been put up I forget how long it was put up For about five years, you said and he had it in storage.

00:04:32.391 --> 00:04:35.850
He redid this car back in the 2000s.

00:04:35.850 --> 00:04:43.766
He did it all himself, he didn't put any bondo on it and it was a hail damage car.

00:04:43.766 --> 00:04:52.612
He got all of that out and redid it for his son and his son had a tragic accident and wasn't able to drive this car.

00:04:52.612 --> 00:05:01.992
So it's been in his shop and he would start it up every so often and he was like you know, I really need to sell this car Cut ties with it Cut ties with it.

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:08.483
So he said I just want you to be able to um go ahead and use it and make it better.

00:05:08.483 --> 00:05:16.048
So we went ahead and bought it and we changed up some things on it and I will never want a 69 camaro.

00:05:16.048 --> 00:05:27.427
I've fallen in love with this with this if you don't see a lot of them, especially in the white with the black decals on it yeah um, because it did have blue decals and we turned around and changed it out.

00:05:28.130 --> 00:05:34.798
Um, we did you know, it looks better like this I believe I like it well the, the black insets on the grill and the other black touches on it.

00:05:34.858 --> 00:05:48.425
It looks great like that plus, let's not leave out the whataburger table tent it took us a while to get that ate a lot of hamburgers At least 77 times and from what to Whataburger?

00:05:48.425 --> 00:05:49.028
Did you steal that?

00:05:49.048 --> 00:05:49.690
from.

00:05:49.690 --> 00:05:51.805
We're borrowing it.

00:05:51.826 --> 00:05:52.267
Borrowing it.

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:53.483
You can buy them now.

00:05:53.483 --> 00:05:54.545
You can buy them online.

00:05:54.545 --> 00:05:55.589
You can Through the Whataburger site.

00:05:55.629 --> 00:06:00.331
Yeah, Well, actually, if you turn it in, I think they give you two Whoppers or whatever.

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.548
That's a different burger place, whatever, Not going to do that.

00:06:03.548 --> 00:06:04.810
And the honeycomb wheels.

00:06:04.810 --> 00:06:05.391
I like that.

00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:08.322
Those are the year ones.

00:06:08.322 --> 00:06:08.987
Those are the newer ones of them.

00:06:08.987 --> 00:06:09.973
Well, it's a beautiful car.

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:10.362
You know.

00:06:10.362 --> 00:06:27.593
To me the Pontiac Trans Am was always a luxury step above the Camaro, and the Z28 in particular the Z28, to me, was more of a race car, Not that this couldn't keep up with it, but this always had the luxury touches in the interior.

00:06:27.593 --> 00:06:28.904
So I get where you're coming from.

00:06:28.904 --> 00:06:30.264
I had a friend of mine that had one.

00:06:30.526 --> 00:06:31.209
I did too.

00:06:31.228 --> 00:06:32.172
This is really nice.

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:38.346
He had a blue one, 77, I believe they're a little bit heavier than the Camaro the same year Camaro, so they ride a little bit better, I think.

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.584
Even if you get the HD deep parts on it, it still rides better.

00:06:49.605 --> 00:06:51.791
Well, you know, and and this is a 78, yeah, I just love the car, it's beautiful.

00:06:51.791 --> 00:06:52.875
Yeah, they actually drag race this car.

00:06:52.875 --> 00:06:54.439
This car was a drag race car, and so it it.

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:54.821
It.

00:06:54.821 --> 00:07:04.846
It has all the suspension underneath, that's I mean when it turns it turns and um so, but it had a four speed in it and that that couldn't keep up with our car club.

00:07:04.846 --> 00:07:08.173
For some reason it would go up into the 4,000.

00:07:08.173 --> 00:07:10.266
We couldn't keep up with our car club.

00:07:10.487 --> 00:07:11.310
It wasn't a good driver.

00:07:11.821 --> 00:07:18.466
It wasn't a good driving it wasn't, so we went ahead and put a Tremec in it, five-speed, so now it cruises.

00:07:18.466 --> 00:07:20.682
It keeps up with everybody else.

00:07:20.701 --> 00:07:22.946
Now it's almost like it's got an overdrive in it.

00:07:23.086 --> 00:07:34.345
It does yes yeah, it was getting too hot when we were trying to drive it with that four speed and we'd have to pull over, and because we were afraid we were going to do something does it have the gear in the rear does it have the original engine it?

00:07:34.345 --> 00:07:36.533
Has a pony at 400 yeah in it.

00:07:36.653 --> 00:07:38.660
Nice, yeah, and that's what they were.

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.505
Drag racing they drag race this yes, they did, they did.

00:07:43.206 --> 00:07:44.007
Do you drag race?

00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:46.391
I don't know.

00:07:47.733 --> 00:07:50.161
She looks over there and he says no, no.

00:07:50.161 --> 00:07:50.668
I don't drag race.

00:07:50.668 --> 00:07:51.379
The insurance man is listening.

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:55.430
No, my other Camaro that I had, I would race it.

00:07:55.430 --> 00:07:57.307
I loved to race cars.

00:07:57.307 --> 00:08:00.951
I did when I was growing up and trashed a few of my parents.

00:08:01.781 --> 00:08:03.024
Where did you get this influence?

00:08:03.024 --> 00:08:03.925
Was it from your dad?

00:08:04.968 --> 00:08:05.389
You know what?

00:08:05.389 --> 00:08:06.172
Was he a hot rodder?

00:08:06.172 --> 00:08:13.625
No, my dad wasn't, it was just I was the youngest of seven kids and I had okay.

00:08:13.625 --> 00:08:17.192
So I love to work, to be around people who worked on cars.

00:08:17.192 --> 00:08:24.348
It's just something that I loved and so, I don't know, I just I would rather have hot rod magazines, that I would.

00:08:24.348 --> 00:08:25.050
You know.

00:08:25.230 --> 00:08:28.665
Girly magazines, girly magazines you said you're a teacher by profession.

00:08:28.665 --> 00:08:31.680
Why don't you get involved in teaching an auto class?

00:08:32.361 --> 00:08:33.224
oh, but you know why?

00:08:33.264 --> 00:08:38.101
because I retired oh, you could come on this year, this year come on retirement.

00:08:38.342 --> 00:08:40.471
I'm I'm early childhood, so I can't do high school.

00:08:40.471 --> 00:08:41.557
I'm not certified to do high school.

00:08:41.557 --> 00:08:42.240
I can't do high school.

Exactly the shop for hot rods.

00:08:51.086 --> 00:08:53.371
I don't think you have to be certified as a teacher.

00:08:53.371 --> 00:08:55.506
I think that you can go under the radar.

00:08:55.908 --> 00:08:59.789
Yeah, no, I'm quite happy being retired so far.

00:08:59.809 --> 00:09:00.211

We're not going to trailer her, I mean she's not a trailer, queen.

00:09:33.284 --> 00:09:34.871
Yeah, we had a discussion about that earlier.

00:09:35.065 --> 00:09:39.836

00:09:39.836 --> 00:09:43.993
But my husband has his.

00:09:43.993 --> 00:09:49.076

It comes every hour, I think during the day.

00:15:01.778 --> 00:15:03.942

He knows it.

00:22:20.490 --> 00:22:24.532
And you sure you can allow for the time dealing with all that.

00:22:24.532 --> 00:22:26.173
Well, I don't know We'll see.

00:22:26.294 --> 00:22:29.756
I mean, it's going to be a battle of the bands, is what it's going to be.

00:22:29.756 --> 00:22:33.278
But when you pulled in, I didn't see the car.

00:22:33.278 --> 00:22:34.679
All I heard was Jeff going.

00:22:34.679 --> 00:22:39.061
Oh my God, I thought you know there's going to be a riot here, apparently.

00:22:39.061 --> 00:22:41.144
And I turned around and I looked.

00:22:41.144 --> 00:22:46.267
I thought, oh my God, that car is just awesome.

00:22:46.646 --> 00:22:47.647
Well, thank you very much.

00:22:48.550 --> 00:22:50.256
Thank you, that didn't take any time to get it.

00:22:50.256 --> 00:22:51.118
That way, did it?

00:22:51.118 --> 00:22:51.921
No, a couple of minutes.

00:22:52.130 --> 00:22:59.674
I've owned it since 2007, but yeah, it didn't look like that when, I first got it, it was already a driver.

00:22:59.674 --> 00:23:01.039
I found it on eBay.

00:23:03.151 --> 00:23:04.114
We're going to do the interview now.

00:23:04.435 --> 00:23:05.278
No, we're not.

00:23:05.450 --> 00:23:06.570
This is the tease for the car.

00:23:06.651 --> 00:23:07.593
Yeah, yeah.

00:23:08.133 --> 00:23:19.226
Yeah, you found it on eBay Found it on eBay, and back when I was in high school, my brother and I had to share a 60 Chevy four-door Bel Air six-banger.

00:23:19.226 --> 00:23:28.324
Nothing to it, yeah, and so I already knew when it come time to buy another car.

00:23:29.090 --> 00:23:30.449
You wanted something different and big.

00:23:30.609 --> 00:23:33.780
I wanted a station wagon.

00:23:33.780 --> 00:23:38.982
I already knew I wanted a station wagon and I was looking for a 60 Chevy.

00:23:38.982 --> 00:23:47.196
And so I'd go on eBay and they'd either be out of my budget or projects which I didn't want, which I didn't want.

00:23:47.196 --> 00:23:54.583
And so this particular day I just got lathed and tapped in a 1960 wagon.

00:23:55.263 --> 00:23:56.203
Is it a Fairlane?

00:23:56.884 --> 00:23:57.965
It's a Ranch wagon.

00:23:58.026 --> 00:23:58.606
Ranch wagon.

00:23:58.606 --> 00:24:02.031
Yeah, like Ranch.

00:24:02.452 --> 00:24:03.013
Water.

00:24:03.013 --> 00:24:07.340
But Ranch wagon, the one that everybody remembers is the Country Squire.

00:24:07.340 --> 00:24:09.003
That's the one that had all the wood on it.

00:24:09.003 --> 00:24:12.559
Right, this is the cheaper model in the wagon lineup, you know.

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:19.256
But I liked it in that it gave me blank signs to do what I wanted to with it, you know, just like a big blank.

00:24:19.637 --> 00:24:21.044
Yeah, with the scallops on it.

00:24:21.044 --> 00:24:21.407
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:21.809 --> 00:24:24.412
Yeah, so anyway.

00:24:24.412 --> 00:24:40.864
But when I went on eBay and did the 1960 wagon search and I was going through the Ramblers and Dodgies and whatnot and I was looking for a Chevy and this one popped up and I thought that's got some good lines to it you know, and it's massive.

00:24:41.365 --> 00:24:42.065
Does it fit in the?

00:24:42.085 --> 00:24:42.525
garage.

00:24:42.525 --> 00:24:44.467
Well, yes, it will.

00:24:44.467 --> 00:24:52.880
Yes, it will, and barely I mean with the garage door down.

00:24:52.880 --> 00:25:00.599

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:00.980
Got you.

00:25:01.080 --> 00:25:02.703
All right.

00:25:03.810 --> 00:25:05.257
Well, now this is a tease.

00:25:05.257 --> 00:25:12.544
Okay, this is a tease for the bottom of the hour, because we're going to learn about the 60 Chevy station wagon 60 Ford.
