Route 66 - Oklahoma Museum for the Mother Road and we have 'This Week In Auto History'.

Route 66 is the fabled Mother Road that really set the country in motion as the 'first' national highway that ran 2,400 miles from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, the road went through 8-states and crossed three time zones. It has inspired travelers since it officially opened in 1926. One of the states with the longest stretch of the highway is Oklahoma. Spanning the state east to west, it seems logical to have the official Oklahoma Route 66 Museum located in Clinton, Oklahoma along the original route. Pat Smith, Museum curator joins us for a quick tour of the museum. For more information, visit https://www.okhistory.org/sites/route66 In our feature segment, we take a look at 'This Week In Automotive History'. ---- ----- ----- Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk six days a week, and check out our live broadcast every Saturday, 8a-11aCT simulcasting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and InWheelTime.com…

Looking for a 'better way' to protect your vehicle in a 'flood'? Jason Lall has something new...

Hurricane Harvey was unlike most storms that roll onto the Texas Gulf Coast. Hurricanes are known for their wind, but in this case, it was a storm surge that reached new levels of the inland. It was reported that 38 people lost their lives, hundreds of homes were flooded, and possibly as many as 500,000 vehicles were ruined. Many car collections were damaged beyond repair. A lot of people put the vehicle up on blocks, if they had the time and resources, while others looked for higher ground. Jason Lall, with a company called 'Nothing in...' may have a solution that almost any collector could use to protect his vehicle from flood waters. After hearing what Jason has to say, you may have even more ideas on how to use this product. www.nothingin.com In our feature segment, Don Armstrong is in the New Car Showroom with the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer, a sub-compact SUV/CUV.

Think there are only new cars and trucks are the Houston Auto Show? Ben Miller thinks not!

Setting up a large scale car show, and we are talking large scale as in over 700,000 square feet of the NRG Center in Houston, can be a big undertaking. Along with all of the new vehicle displays, the ride-n-drive setups, there are vendors that need to setup, along with some food and beverages. Add to this, a classic car section, which most have a few, but in Houston, a few just won't do. The man in charge of finding some worthy classic vehicles, some cool hot rods, and even a few resto-mods, is Ben Miller. This really sounds like a great job - just go find some hot rods. But as Ben explains, it ain't that easy to find quality vehicles ... that have not been at the Houston Auto Show before. Because COVID shortened things, this year, Ben didn't have to find 50, but even at that, he only had 6-months. Ben explains some of what it takes to get 'this' job done. ----- Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk six days a w…

Camp Jeep - in the indoor ride experience for Jeep vehicles is at the Houston Auto Show!

he ride'n drive displays have become some of the favorite things at the larger auto shows - some you can actually drive, others, it is a ride.

Almost every model is represented in Houston and riders can try them all over a course with plenty of hills and angles to make anyone believe they are heading down a trail. Joining us in this segment is Benny Munguia from Camp Jeep.

RoShelle Salinas kicks off the 2021 Summer Houston Auto Show!

We opened our special Friday afternoon show from the 2021 Summer Houston Auto Show with our friend, RoShelle Salinas, V.P., Houston Auto Dealers Association.

We also get to talk about some of the obstacles in compressing a 12-month planning schedule down to less than 6-months once the massive Houston Rodeo gave up some of their scheduled event facilities due to COVID. ----- Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk six days a week, and check out our live broadcast every Saturday, 8a-11aCT simulcasting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and InWheelTime.com.

Classic '72 Suburban with a modern style rolls into Tailpipes & Tacos - May Edition!

For almost 80 years, the versatile Chevrolet Suburban has set the standard for full-size SUVs, even before anyone knew what a Sport Utility Vehicle was. Over the years, there have been several models that seem to have 'stuck'. The Chevrolet C-10 series of truck have been popular with hot rodders for several years, and that popularity has rolled over to other C10 Chevrolets, in particular the 3-door Suburban. One of the finest examples we have seen is owned by Donny and Roxann Martin. With the suspension mods, more modern power under the hood and a custom interior to go along with the striking paint - Donny can do more justice to describing his pride and joy. ---- ----- ----- Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk six days a week, and check out our live broadcast every Saturday, 8a-11aCT simulcasting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and InWheelTime.com.

Classic '67 Chevy Nova - blown! In 'The New Car Showroom' it is the 2022 Infiniti QX55...

There are classic muscle cars and then there are 'classic' muscle cars - like the 1967 Chevy Nova. With slick body lines from the long hood back to the sloping rear roof line leading down to the short deck, the profile is all performance. This model is subject to a lot of stylings from slick cruizer to full on drag racer. For Jerry Straznicky, it is the 671 blower sitting on top of a small block that does the trick. Never mind having to look around it when driving, never mind then nice belt whine, and never mind all the looks it gets. Jerry is very proud of this impressive 1967 Nova. In our features segment, Michael Marrs is looking at the 2022 Infiniti QX55, an all new model coming to a dealer near you. ---- ----- ----- Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk six days a week, and check out our live broadcast every Saturday, 8a-11aCT simulcasting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and InWheelTime.com.
