Tucked away just over an hour from Dallas-Fort Worth lies Granbury, Texas – a lakeside town that's become something of a well-kept secret among travelers seeking authentic Texas charm without the crowds. Our broadcast from the Lone Star Street Rod Association's 50th anniversary state run reveals why this hidden gem has earned the official designation as the "Celebration Capital of Texas."
Kristen Gibson from the Granbury Convention and Visitors Bureau joins us to share what makes this town special, from its historic downtown square and restored Nuthouse Hotel to the free weekend trolley service that connects major attractions. With over 40 events annually, Granbury has mastered the art of celebration while maintaining its small-town hospitality. Car enthusiasts particularly appreciate how the entire town embraces automotive events, with hotels and restaurants fully prepared for their arrival.
Beyond cars, Granbury offers unexpected delights like an intimate 200-seat concert venue housed in a former car dealership, acclaimed restaurants requiring reservations months in advance, and the serene beauty of Lake Granbury. What began as a weekend destination for many has evolved into a permanent home as people discover the town's perfect balance of amenities and charm.
The show shifts gears as Don Armstrong shares his experience driving the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV, highlighting its comfortable ride, 319-mile range, and surprisingly affordable starting price of $33,600 – significantly lower than competitors like Tesla and Hyundai. This accessible entry point into EV ownership could be a game-changer for those considering the electric transition.
Whether you're a hot rod enthusiast, a weekend traveler, or someone looking for an affordable EV option, this episode packs insights that might change your perspective on both small-town Texas and the evolving world of electric vehicles. Listen now and discover why some of the best automotive experiences happen beyond the beaten path.

00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:02.888
Welcome to another In Wheel Time podcast.
00:00:02.888 --> 00:00:10.983
Welcome to the In Wheel Time Car Talk Show today Coming to you from the Lone Star Street.
00:00:10.983 --> 00:00:18.144
Rod Association's 50th anniversary state run in Granbury, texas, and it's Father's Day weekend.
00:00:18.164 --> 00:00:18.967
It is indeed.
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:22.170
Just ahead, another guest from this 50th anniversary celebration.
00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:31.771
Also, I'll give you my thoughts on driving the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV, and Jeff has the Motor Minute in this segment of the In Real Time Car Talk Show.
00:00:31.771 --> 00:00:35.084
Howdy, along with Mike out of this world, mars, we always need more.
00:00:35.084 --> 00:00:39.890
Jeff Zekin, chief Engineer David Ainsley, got out of bed this morning and joined us here in Granbury.
00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:41.424
It's a miracle.
00:00:41.424 --> 00:00:42.689
I'm Don Armstrong.
00:00:42.689 --> 00:00:44.042
Thanks so much for joining us.
00:00:44.042 --> 00:00:44.825
We appreciate you.
00:00:44.825 --> 00:00:46.970
Mr Mars, why don't you introduce our next guest?
00:00:47.261 --> 00:00:49.046
So this is Kristen Gibson.
00:00:49.046 --> 00:00:52.326
I'm sitting there putting an R where there's not one.
00:00:52.326 --> 00:01:00.176
Kristen Gibson from the Granberry CVB and she's one of the big sponsors out here at the event has been since they started coming up here in Granberry.
00:01:00.578 --> 00:01:00.981
Absolutely so glad you're here to join us.
00:01:00.981 --> 00:01:01.999
Absolutely so glad you're here to join us.
00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:03.286
Thanks for having us here today.
00:01:03.286 --> 00:01:05.539
We love having you all in town and seeing all the shade.
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:08.689
You don't know that yet, because we haven't left town yet.
00:01:08.689 --> 00:01:11.046
So there's history to be made.
00:01:11.046 --> 00:01:13.265
Yeah, we might make it after the show today.
00:01:13.405 --> 00:01:14.046
That's perfect.
00:01:14.046 --> 00:01:16.340
Is it the city motto you?
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.206
know I haven't seen any Granbury police.
00:01:18.206 --> 00:01:18.888
Do you have those here?
00:01:18.888 --> 00:01:20.210
We do, we do.
00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:20.971
So watch out.
00:01:20.990 --> 00:01:24.313
We didn't see any last night either they're the ones that told us we had to be out of town.
00:01:24.474 --> 00:01:25.796
Sure gotcha.
00:01:25.796 --> 00:01:32.206
Our city motto is where Texas history lives, so if you make some while you're here, we would love that there's a tank out here.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.027
There's a water tank out here with that.
00:01:34.027 --> 00:01:35.185
It's got bricks on it.
00:01:35.185 --> 00:01:37.486
But yeah, we were told to be out by 4.
00:01:37.486 --> 00:01:38.349
Oh wow.
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.004
Yeah, they're just running you out of town.
00:01:46.004 --> 00:01:46.989
They will escort us right out to the city limits.
00:01:46.989 --> 00:01:48.135
I think we'll take good care of you while you're here.
00:01:48.135 --> 00:01:48.718
Thank you, well, you always do.
00:01:48.718 --> 00:01:52.067
You have already, you know the hospitality here is absolutely stupendous.
00:01:52.128 --> 00:02:00.715
It really is, and you guys do such a great job at all of the hotels.
00:02:00.715 --> 00:02:06.968
They're all in tune with what's going on with these guys, the Lone Star Street Rod Association.
00:02:06.968 --> 00:02:13.052
It's remarkable because we have been to events where who are you again?
00:02:13.052 --> 00:02:16.389
And they don't really do that here.
00:02:16.389 --> 00:02:18.388
They know why you're in town.
00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:20.706
Well, that's an effort on everyone's behalf.
00:02:20.706 --> 00:02:28.953
So we love our visitors here and so we try to do our best to get to know you and get to know what you like and how we can best be of service to you while you're here.
00:02:29.461 --> 00:02:42.265
And you know, and that's one of, I think, the draws of coming to Granbury, because I'll be honest with you, no offense, but I will tell you that I didn't know about Granbury until we got invited up here by the Lone Star Street Rock Association.
00:02:42.265 --> 00:02:44.706
We came up here and we go dang.
00:02:45.007 --> 00:02:46.068
Where has this been in our?
00:02:46.108 --> 00:02:49.610
lives Because it's off the beaten path, let's face it.
00:02:49.610 --> 00:02:54.834
I mean, if you're from Fort Worth, you probably know where Granbury is being from the Houston area.
00:02:54.834 --> 00:02:56.335
It's out of the way.
00:02:56.335 --> 00:03:01.718
We have to come up Highway 6 through Bryan College.
00:03:01.758 --> 00:03:02.080
Station.
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:02.659
Well, that's the scenic route.
00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:03.384
Sure, that's how I go to Houston.
00:03:03.384 --> 00:03:03.969
So that's the scenic route.
00:03:03.969 --> 00:03:04.634
Sure, that's how I go to Houston.
00:03:04.634 --> 00:03:04.997
So that's perfect.
00:03:04.997 --> 00:03:05.259
There you go.
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.510
But you've got to admit I mean, it's kind of a back way to get up here.
00:03:09.711 --> 00:03:09.972
Sure.
00:03:10.419 --> 00:03:14.591
Because the first time I came up here I went I-45, mistake through.
00:03:14.591 --> 00:03:18.409
Ennis and then traveled, you know, out to LA and back to get here.
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.441
Well, were you in beautiful cars like these?
00:03:21.441 --> 00:03:22.322
You're in beautiful cars like these.
00:03:22.322 --> 00:03:23.842
You like to take those scenic back roads.
00:03:23.943 --> 00:03:27.205
I wasn't driving a beautiful car, that would have been a whole different story.
00:03:27.205 --> 00:03:35.431
But yeah, and you know it's funny because you've got vehicles here from pretty much all over the state of Texas and I think even beyond.
00:03:35.431 --> 00:03:44.276
We've been kind of focused in on the Texas guys that are here only because they're available and they've got some really nice rides.
00:03:44.477 --> 00:03:44.717
Sure.
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:59.229
And that kind of goes hand in hand with this event and the fact that it's a wonderful mix of hot rods and resto mods and cars that somebody goes what do you call that?
00:03:59.229 --> 00:04:04.091
Again, yeah, it's a truck or a station wagon or whatever the case may be.
00:04:04.091 --> 00:04:06.793
So it's a truck or a station wagon or whatever the case may be.
00:04:06.793 --> 00:04:19.608
So it's a very unique event and I will say that I thought man, is everybody going to wind up showing up tomorrow Because we didn't get the vibe when we were here yesterday afternoon and I've never seen the park more full.
00:04:19.889 --> 00:04:20.831
It's really full this year.
00:04:20.831 --> 00:04:22.346
It looks like we've got a great turnout.
00:04:22.660 --> 00:04:25.007
Like he said, exact opposite of what we were last night.
00:04:25.007 --> 00:04:26.802
We were thinking there's a lot of spaces open.
00:04:26.802 --> 00:04:29.002
Not today, no, not today.
00:04:29.204 --> 00:04:34.406
And we had no trouble getting into the restaurant we went over to Vito's.
00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:39.091
They have a really good menu over there and it's reasonably priced.
00:04:39.982 --> 00:04:40.886
It's not out of the world.
00:04:40.886 --> 00:04:45.444
Family coming, a family of four with their kids, whatever it's not out of the world on you know, family coming, a family of four with their kids, whatever it's affordable.
00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:46.966
And their portions are giant.
00:04:47.047 --> 00:04:49.026
Oh yeah, so you end up with lunch for the next day.
00:04:49.507 --> 00:04:50.149
Very possible.
00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:53.793
The other thing I wanted to remind everybody of.
00:04:53.793 --> 00:05:01.925
We're not going to go there today, but we understand that there is a great eatery in the downtown area that you've got to get reservations like a month or two in advance.
00:05:02.185 --> 00:05:03.286
Yes, what's the name of that?
00:05:03.286 --> 00:05:04.208
It is Christina's.
00:05:04.247 --> 00:05:04.708
American.
00:05:04.767 --> 00:05:09.673
Table, and it is in the bottom floor of the newly restored historic Nuthouse Hotel.
00:05:09.673 --> 00:05:12.795
The Nuthouse yes, Fantastic food.
00:05:12.875 --> 00:05:17.202
So, yes, you definitely need a reservation so hop on in there if you get a chance.
00:05:17.202 --> 00:05:19.589
Tammy described that for us the last time she was on the air, when we were in the studio.
00:05:21.523 --> 00:05:22.966
Yeah, and it's at the bottom of the hotel.
00:05:22.966 --> 00:05:24.791
You know how many rooms the hotel has in it.
00:05:24.833 --> 00:05:27.019
They have, I believe it's seven rooms.
00:05:27.119 --> 00:05:27.459
Seven rooms.
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.809
And it is beautifully restored.
00:05:30.281 --> 00:05:32.309
What does that take about a year to get a reservation there?
00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:36.331
No, you can on certain occasions hop in.
00:05:36.331 --> 00:05:40.071
So it's a really beautiful freshly restored property.
00:05:40.071 --> 00:05:46.088
We recommend about three months out, if you have the opportunity to make your reservation there, but it is fantastic.
00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:47.161
Which you know, it reminds me.
00:05:47.161 --> 00:05:50.512
You've got a beautiful park, you've got the lake Wedding events.
00:05:51.242 --> 00:05:53.108
You can stay at the hotel.
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.363
You know it's a private area.
00:05:54.403 --> 00:05:57.105
It's seven rooms and downtown is not that far from here.
00:05:57.105 --> 00:05:57.747
How many miles?
00:05:58.348 --> 00:05:59.071
It's less than a mile.
00:05:59.071 --> 00:06:02.305
You can walk up and I walk up and down this all the time.
00:06:02.305 --> 00:06:03.365
So it's a really.
00:06:03.365 --> 00:06:10.016
The way our city is situated is so fun because we've got the conference center here, the Hilton Garden Inn next door.
00:06:10.016 --> 00:06:16.889
We've got the trolley that runs for free on the weekends, so really, if it's not within a walkable space for you, you can just hop on the trolley for free on the weekends.
00:06:16.930 --> 00:06:17.672
Is that every weekend?
00:06:17.672 --> 00:06:19.987
Every weekend, not just for the tour, but it's every weekend.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:20.401
Every weekend.
00:06:20.401 --> 00:06:20.901
How about that?
00:06:21.021 --> 00:06:21.622
That's pretty cool.
00:06:21.663 --> 00:06:25.752
We also understand that you guys have a fantastic Christmas holiday season.
00:06:25.752 --> 00:06:28.127
We do With all the lights and all that good stuff.
00:06:28.307 --> 00:06:28.829
Absolutely.
00:06:28.829 --> 00:06:41.612
It kicks off the day after Thanksgiving with our parade and then when Santa's house is open all season long, and then we also have a country Christmas petting farm that families can come and see all kinds of great little animals.
00:06:41.612 --> 00:06:49.720
Even a little wallaby is out there, and so you get to do the little petting farm, do your Christmas shopping, and it's just a magical experience.
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.831
When did Granbury get the reputation as a place, a destination place?
00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:56.028
Man, I moved here 20 years ago.
00:06:56.028 --> 00:06:58.910
I've seen a lot of really great changes and updates.
00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:01.048
It's been really thoughtful and well done.
00:07:01.048 --> 00:07:15.745
So even back, my husband remembers coming here as a kid, so I'm I mean probably kind of like a well-kept secret for us down in Houston, mm-hmm yeah yeah, it is and it's.
00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:21.358
I would guess you probably pull from mainly the Fort Worth Dallas areas.
00:07:21.629 --> 00:07:31.194
Yes, that's our biggest draw, because it's so close and once you hit a certain point it's just kind of all the stress melts away and you're in this beautiful what is it?
00:07:31.213 --> 00:07:33.521
a couple of hours from DFW Airport.
00:07:34.011 --> 00:07:36.860
It's about an hour and ten minutes or so.
00:07:37.649 --> 00:07:44.105
It seemed like a lot longer after I got off that airplane flight from Denver and landed there, picked up the car and came down here.
00:07:44.105 --> 00:07:48.562
I'm thinking, my God, I've been in an airplane or in a car for the past year.
00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:52.560
But if you're coming from Houston it's about a four-hour four-and-a-half-hour drive.
00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:54.276
Three hours and 58 minutes.
00:07:54.771 --> 00:07:56.358
Yeah, Jeff timed it down, man, you hit it good.
00:07:56.358 --> 00:07:58.952
Yeah, and we had a couple of stops.
00:07:58.952 --> 00:07:59.774
Yeah, we did One.
00:07:59.774 --> 00:08:01.999
Yeah, we did One at Sefco and the other one at Buc-ee's.
00:08:02.259 --> 00:08:03.141
Oh, at Buc-ee's.
00:08:03.141 --> 00:08:06.314
Of course you have to stop there, but there's lots of great ways.
00:08:06.314 --> 00:08:24.430
You know, it's just such a cool place to come to and it's not too far from just about anywhere in this area in Texas and so it is a little sleepy-ish vacation town but it has so many amenities, lots of live music, lots of great places to eat, so it's really it's a fun place to hang out.
00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:28.021
Well, the other thing is that I don't think that we focused enough on and that would be the lake.
00:08:28.021 --> 00:08:50.582
And the fact that I would imagine that there are a lot of weekenders that come up here for lake, even you know, Verbo, or whatever it is that they're doing that, but I would imagine that at this point they're quite a real place to call home now for a lot of people that this used to be the weekend house and now it's a real yeah.
00:08:51.264 --> 00:08:51.943
Absolutely.
00:08:51.964 --> 00:08:54.287
Yeah, they live here year-round.
00:08:59.111 --> 00:09:02.903
Yep, and you can actually any time of year you can hop on visitgranberrycom.
00:09:02.903 --> 00:09:11.908
We have a webcam that points at the lake, so it's the lake cam, yep, and if you just need a moment of zen or you want to check out how the lake conditions look like, you can hop on that anytime and check it out so you can see people water skiing or having fun on their boats, um, all day long.
00:09:11.908 --> 00:09:13.653
So we we like to check it out everyone do you live on the?
00:09:13.653 --> 00:09:13.833
Lake.
00:09:14.195 --> 00:09:22.221
I don't live on the lake I live just off the lake, but um, it's a really easy trip too so, so are you going to go on the big cruise tonight?
00:09:22.221 --> 00:09:23.884
The big cruise tonight.
00:09:23.884 --> 00:09:26.284
I am not going on the big cruise tonight Because you weren't invited.
00:09:26.768 --> 00:09:32.475
Well, maybe we're not in charge of anything but we're inviting you to have you ever been on an old car cruise like this?
00:09:32.475 --> 00:09:33.517
I have not.
00:09:33.537 --> 00:09:34.879
You need to go, I do need to go.
00:09:35.221 --> 00:09:41.573
You really do and hitch a ride Somebody will give you a ride and go on the 23-mile cruise.
00:09:42.354 --> 00:09:43.034
I don't remember.
00:09:43.034 --> 00:09:44.535
That sounds about right.
00:09:44.535 --> 00:09:46.937
I think it's around the lake, something like that.
00:09:46.957 --> 00:09:49.458
Well, that's quite a ways around, so that would be fun.
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.662
But yeah, with all these hot rods all lined up and going through intersections.
00:09:53.662 --> 00:10:04.731
I know when we did the hot rod tour of Texas, there were certain towns that we had police escorts and they'd block off the streets and all the kids would come out and be a big parade.
00:10:04.731 --> 00:10:06.576
Yeah, but it was a moving parade.
00:10:06.576 --> 00:10:08.000
So once we were out of town, we're done.
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:08.682
That's fun.
00:10:08.741 --> 00:10:12.119
That is fun, so I would encourage you to check that out if you've never done that.
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:12.841
Absolutely Well.
00:10:12.841 --> 00:10:24.481
I know these guys are planning to hit the road in a little while and head out to some of our assisted living facilities and greet some people, so that always puts a smile on everyone's face for sure, and so we love that part of this group because that is such a cool.
00:10:24.501 --> 00:10:27.505
You're too young to know, but do you have the Munster coach here?
00:10:28.532 --> 00:10:29.636
I haven't seen it.
00:10:29.857 --> 00:10:30.421
You haven't seen it.
00:10:30.421 --> 00:10:31.284
You know what I'm talking about.
00:10:31.304 --> 00:10:32.289
I do know what I'm talking about.
00:10:32.289 --> 00:10:38.955
Why would you bring that up and Grandpa's casket.
00:10:38.955 --> 00:10:40.797
Is it in there?
00:10:40.797 --> 00:10:43.899
No, we should go check it out.
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:49.224
It's actually an actual vehicle, but it's a casket and Grandpa sits at the back of the casket and drives it.
00:10:49.644 --> 00:10:50.325
I have seen that.
00:10:50.325 --> 00:10:52.986
I actually have seen the Munsters, I promise Okay.
00:10:54.471 --> 00:10:56.378
We'll check it, don't ask, it's great.
00:11:00.929 --> 00:11:03.384
So you're going to take some of these cars and go around to the nursing homes around here, and uh, so what is planned?
00:11:03.384 --> 00:11:05.111
Do we have a band coming in later today here?
00:11:05.533 --> 00:11:10.234
no, the group is heading down to the new granbury live and they're going to see a heart tribute band this evening.
00:11:10.234 --> 00:11:13.832
So that's really exciting, so we're we're really happy for them to be doing that.
00:11:13.832 --> 00:11:17.288
That's a great concert, so a lot of people are hopping on over there.
00:11:17.307 --> 00:11:18.311
How many people does that see?
00:11:18.311 --> 00:11:21.212
I was going to ask about that, yeah it's a small venue, so it's just.
00:11:21.253 --> 00:11:22.575
I believe it's just around 200.
00:11:22.575 --> 00:11:24.196
It's a small venue, so I believe it's just around 200.
00:11:24.235 --> 00:11:24.876
It's a pretty tiny place.
00:11:24.897 --> 00:11:26.177
It used to be a movie theater, didn't it?
00:11:26.177 --> 00:11:27.019
That one did not.
00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:29.942
It used to be a car dealership.
00:11:29.942 --> 00:11:32.423
I believe you don't know how appropriate.
00:11:32.443 --> 00:11:38.350
Yeah, exactly, come on into the service department, we'll check your tires and you can hear a concert while you're here and you can have a show.
00:11:39.149 --> 00:11:40.211
So it's a really cool venue.
00:11:40.211 --> 00:11:45.418
It's toted as one of the most intimate venues in Texas, and so it's a really cool place.
00:11:45.418 --> 00:11:48.301
You're really up and close with your talent, so it's fun.
00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:50.482
I played in a gig at a textile mill one time.
00:11:50.964 --> 00:11:51.924
Really yeah.
00:11:51.945 --> 00:11:53.267
Were there sewing machines in there?
00:11:53.910 --> 00:11:58.783
No, no, it's a venue now, but it used to be a textile warehouse or whatever.
00:11:58.783 --> 00:12:01.427
They had silos and things for all the stuff.
00:12:01.710 --> 00:12:06.239
Cotton and stuff Yep Nylon Dacron Rayon.
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:06.840
Rayon.
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:07.380
Rayon was big.
00:12:07.380 --> 00:12:08.543
Yeah, I remember him.
00:12:08.543 --> 00:12:10.994
He wore glasses.
00:12:10.994 --> 00:12:12.157
Yeah, that was Ray-Rayon.
00:12:12.818 --> 00:12:12.938
Oh.
00:12:15.789 --> 00:12:17.995
Listen, don't get me started with that.
00:12:18.014 --> 00:12:18.615
It's hot out here.
00:12:18.615 --> 00:12:20.099
He's about to take his shirt off.
00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:26.826
Well, I've already done that once, twice actually, if you haven't noticed he changed into white because we just put so much pressure on him.
00:12:27.090 --> 00:12:30.378
So if you've got a group and you want to come to Granbury, who do you call?
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.341
Actually you call me.
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:31.902
There you go.
00:12:32.149 --> 00:12:41.182
So Kristen Gibson at the Convention and Visitors Bureau at Visit Granbury and I help groups get all the way from their planning stages to getting their hotels, their hotels, their venues and how much is that service fee?
00:12:41.503 --> 00:12:41.683
it is?
00:12:41.683 --> 00:12:46.453
Free we are a city service an event planner, free pretty much.
00:12:46.453 --> 00:12:49.902
Yeah, so do you, so you could plan weddings and stuff like that too.
00:12:49.922 --> 00:13:06.080
We assist the family in planning but we'll, we'll do welcome bags like we do for everybody here we make connections with different places that they might need to know about, like some transportation services, different different restaurants Dinner Vito's Vito's.
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.961
Vito's.
00:13:06.961 --> 00:13:09.018
Isn't that a great place for groups to go Try the veal?
00:13:09.630 --> 00:13:11.397
And how about La Familia?
00:13:11.837 --> 00:13:12.399
Oh, excellent.
00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:14.096
Is it La Familia or Mi Familia?
00:13:14.096 --> 00:13:14.839
Mi Familia.
00:13:15.472 --> 00:13:16.730
And it's fantastic.
00:13:16.730 --> 00:13:20.395
So we've got a lot of really great independently owned restaurants here in town.
00:13:20.395 --> 00:13:23.962
We've got some staples that people know from all over the country.
00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:02.888
