Buckle up for a high-octane journey through the heart of Texas as we broadcast live from Spindletap Brewery during the annual Hot Rod Tour! The brewery's industrial-chic atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for this gathering of automotive enthusiasts, with vintage beauties continuously rolling into the parking lot throughout our show.
We kick things off with a comprehensive roundup of the latest automotive recalls that you need to know about. From Audi's e-tron issues to Honda's lighting problems, but the most concerning might be GM's recall of full-size pickups and SUVs from 2021-2024 with the 6.2-liter V8 engines experiencing catastrophic failures. If you own one of these vehicles, this segment alone is worth your time.
The heart of our episode features the always entertaining "Hemmings Sold Car Roundup" game, where we guess the selling prices of classic automobiles. You might be surprised to learn what a restored 1960 Corvette C1 convertible or a 1949 Cadillac 62 commands in today's market! These insights provide valuable perspective for collectors and enthusiasts alike on where the classic car market stands in 2023.
Our automotive history segment transports you back to pivotal moments including Plymouth's introduction of the first power retractable top in 1939 and the first Earth Day in 1970 that revolutionized emissions standards. We also reflect on the bittersweet end of the Pontiac brand in 2009, with the underwhelming G6 serving as its final model.
We wrap up with sobering economic news for the automotive industry – tariffs are projected to reduce vehicle production by nearly one million units this year alone, with North America bearing the brunt of these impacts. Whether you're a car enthusiast, industry professional, or simply curious about how these economic forces might affect your next vehicle purchase, our analysis provides context you won't want to miss.
So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and join us for this special episode that celebrates automotive heritage while keeping you informed about the present and future of the industry we all love. What's your favorite stop on a car tour like this?
