Step back in time with us as we celebrate Victoria's bicentennial at Town Square to the soundtrack of live bands and the rumble of classic engines. Revel in nostalgia with Brent New and his '56 Ford F100, a piece of automotive history that dazzles in Pacific Blue, powered by a roaring Ford 302 engine. We get down to the nuts and bolts of his truck's Lincoln Town Car front suspension and custom interior that pays homage to its origins. The spectacle continues as we switch to Mike Wilson's '32 Ford Roadster, a hot rod culture icon with its fiberglass body and the raw power of a 392 Hemi, all supercharged by an Ed Pink blower. These conversations with Brent and Mike aren't just about the vehicles—they're a tribute to the undying love for Ford and the art of classic car restoration. We'll take you on a journey through Texas with Bobby Sparkman, recalling the Hot Rod Tour with its eccentric mix of vehicles and the unforgettable "Smokey and the Bandit" drive-in movie night.  Fast forward …

The 2024 Hot Rod Tour of Texas was an electrifying journey through the Lone Star State, igniting the passion of car enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies alike. Over the course of three days, this event brought together classic hot rods, muscle cars, trucks and custom rides from 14 states for a chance to share the automotive world of style and comradery with a common interest.
