Season 2025

When classic car lovers gather, stories flow as freely as chrome gleams in the Texas sun. From the Lone Star Street Rod Association's 50th Anniversary celebration in Granbury, we discover the human connections behind these metal masterpieces.

Meet Danon Hollinger, who grew up with hot rod magazine fold-outs on her bedroom headboard instead of pop stars. Her gorgeous white 1978 Pontiac Trans Am represents a lifelong dream fulfilled. After years of waiting, she found this beauty through a car club connection – a vehicle with its own poignant history, having been restored for a son who suffered an accident and could no longer drive it. Danon and her husband transformed it with a Tremec five-speed transmission to keep pace with their Houston-area car club on cruises across the country.

Then there's Larry Davidson's showstopping 1960 Ford Ranch Wagon – a chrome-laden masterpiece in striking blue. Originally purchased on eBay while searching for something completely different, Larry explains how station wagons have transformed from demolition derby fodder to highly sought-after collectibles. His ingenious restoration touches include chromed freeze plugs repurposed as decorative "gun sights" on the fenders, demonstrating the creativity that defines true car enthusiasts.

Beyond the vehicles themselves, we explore what makes Granbury worth the drive – from the historic Acton State Historical Site where Davy Crockett's wife Elizabeth is buried to the nostalgic Brazos Drive-In Theater operating since 1952. We round out with automotive headlines including the return of the Hemi V8 to Ram's pickup lineup.

Whether you're a dedicated gearhead or simply appreciate the stories behind beautiful machines, these conversations capture the passion, ingenuity, and community that make car culture so enduring. Join us for more automotive adventures every Saturday morning on Facebook, YouTube, and InWheelTime.com.

So we have with us right now this beautiful 1978 Firebird Trans Am, and it's owned by Danone Hollinger.

00:00:58.383 --> 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 --> 00:01:00.406
Uh-huh.

00:01:00.508 --> 00:01:02.170
All right, danone.

00:01:02.512 --> 00:01:05.560
Uh-huh Like All right.

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:06.561
So she did on like the yogurt.

00:01:06.561 --> 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 --> 00:01:19.995
No, she didn't want to talk about that.

00:01:20.615 --> 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 --> 00:01:38.822
It's called Westward the Women and in it was Dan On.

00:01:38.822 --> 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 --> 00:01:59.912
I love it.

00:01:59.912 --> 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 --> 00:02:05.659
And I'm not going to apologize.

00:02:05.659 --> 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 --> 00:02:15.603
And they don't know.

00:02:15.682 --> 00:02:17.866
so it's fine, and you can't say it's a family name.

00:02:18.861 --> 00:02:20.105
No, it's not a family name.

00:02:20.306 --> 00:02:20.927
Do you have children?

00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:21.790
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.

00:02:28.556 --> 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 --> 00:02:41.501
No, not like my mother did.

00:02:41.501 --> 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 --> 00:02:45.524
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 --> 00:02:54.611
Well, one way or the other, she was impressed.

00:02:54.632 --> 00:02:55.812
You have to watch it.

00:02:55.812 --> 00:02:57.514
It's a very funny old Western.

00:02:57.593 --> 00:02:57.794
Is it?

00:02:57.835 --> 00:02:58.134
really.

00:02:58.534 --> 00:02:59.175
It's very funny.

00:02:59.175 --> 00:02:59.616
I like it.

00:02:59.616 --> 00:03:01.236
So the 78 Pontiac.

00:03:04.191 --> 00:03:05.600
Yes, I like it.

00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:05.801
Thank you.

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

00:03:07.800 --> 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 --> 00:04:14.891
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 --> 00:04:24.511
So we were looking around and one of our car club members, his brother, was selling this Trans Am.

00:04:24.511 --> 00:04:32.358
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.

00:04:32.358 --> 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 --> 00:05:16.026
So we went ahead and bought it and we changed up some things on it and I will never want a 69 camaro.

00:05:16.026 --> 00:05:23.367
I've fallen in love with this with this vehicle you don't see a lot of them, especially in the white with the black decals on it.

00:05:23.367 --> 00:05:27.427
Yeah, yeah um, because it did have blue decals and we turned around and changed it out.

00:05:28.130 --> 00:05:29.959
Um, we you know it looks better like this.

00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:34.798
I believe I like it well the, the black insets on the grill and the other black touches on it.

00:05:34.858 --> 00:05:43.845
It looks great like that plus, let's not leave out the whataburger table tent I was thinking it took us a while to get that ate a

00:05:43.906 --> 00:05:48.425
lot of hamburgers At least 77 times and from what to Whataburger?

00:05:48.466 --> 00:05:49.028
did you steal that?

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

00:05:49.690 --> 00:05:51.802
We're borrowing it.

00:05:51.822 --> 00:05:52.264
Borrowing it.

00:05:52.805 --> 00:05:53.487
You can buy them now.

00:05:53.487 --> 00:05:54.911
You can buy them online, you can Through the.

00:05:54.911 --> 00:05:55.733
Whataburger site yeah.

00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:02.665
Well, actually, if you turn it in, I think they give you two Whoppers or whatever that's a different burger place, whatever that's a different burger place.

00:06:02.706 --> 00:06:03.827
Whatever, not going to do that.

00:06:03.949 --> 00:06:04.810
And the honeycomb wheels.

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

00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:08.406
Those are the year ones.

00:06:08.406 --> 00:06:09.113
Those are the newer ones of them.

00:06:09.134 --> 00:06:10.305
Well, it's a beautiful car, you know.

00:06:10.305 --> 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.

00:06:30.264 --> 00:06:30.826
I did too.

00:06:30.826 --> 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 --> 00:07:04.848
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.

00:07:04.848 --> 00:07:08.166
For some reason it would tack out, it would go up into the 4,000.

00:07:08.166 --> 00:07:11.331
We couldn't keep up with our car club it wasn't a good driver.

00:07:11.733 --> 00:07:18.466
Huh, 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 --> 00:07:42.507
Drag racing they drag race this yes, they Uh-huh.

00:07:43.209 --> 00:07:43.990
Do you drag race?

00:07:43.990 --> 00:07:47.704
I don't know.

00:07:47.704 --> 00:07:50.668
She looks over there and he says no, no, I don't drag race.

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

00:07:51.940 --> 00:07:55.430
Now 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.

00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:03.021
Where did you get this influence?

00:08:03.021 --> 00:08:03.922
Was it from your dad?

00:08:04.963 --> 00:08:05.384
You know what?

00:08:05.384 --> 00:08:06.223
Was he a hot rodder?

00:08:06.223 --> 00:08:13.672
No, my dad wasn't, it was just I was the youngest of seven kids and I had okay.

00:08:13.672 --> 00:08:17.214
So I love to work, to be around people who worked on cars.

00:08:17.214 --> 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 --> 00:08:42.259
I can't do high school.

00:08:43.601 --> 00:08:46.469
I'm not certified to do high school Certify, schmertify, but you can do it.

00:08:46.469 --> 00:08:47.991
But the hot rod shop, we'll certify you.

00:08:48.192 --> 00:08:51.086
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
Good for you.

00:09:00.211 --> 00:09:01.841
Yeah, I enjoy it.

00:09:01.841 --> 00:09:06.373
So would you guys take it to a lot of car shows?

00:09:06.452 --> 00:09:09.269
Yeah, we've gone to Hot August Nights.

00:09:09.269 --> 00:09:11.426
We've went all the way out to Reno.

00:09:11.426 --> 00:09:12.089
We trailered.

00:09:12.089 --> 00:09:13.746
Our car club went out to Reno.

00:09:15.761 --> 00:09:16.806
Did you trailer this car here?

00:09:16.806 --> 00:09:16.927
Uh-huh.

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:19.105
We trailered it out to Reno.

00:09:19.105 --> 00:09:20.710
Oh yeah, we trailered it here.

00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:27.043
Yeah, I mean, we all trailered ours, I see.

00:09:27.043 --> 00:09:29.812
So this is your baby, she's my baby, but local shows we will drive her to.

00:09:29.852 --> 00:09:33.048
We're not going to trailer her, I mean she's not a trailer, queen.

00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:34.866
We had a discussion about that earlier.

00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:39.831
No, but coming this far, yeah, I don't want to risk her on Highway 6.

00:09:39.831 --> 00:09:51.937
But my husband he has a 48 GMCc that he's doing a frame off restoration on beautiful so this is the one that we take back and forth to the car shows.

00:09:51.998 --> 00:09:53.422
Currently it's a beautiful car.

00:09:53.422 --> 00:09:55.246
So if this is on a trailer, what do you pull it with?

00:09:55.868 --> 00:09:56.369
he has a.

00:09:56.369 --> 00:10:02.928
He has a derma no, it's not a dually, it's just a three-quarter ton.

00:10:02.928 --> 00:10:04.913
Gmc Sorry for.

00:10:04.913 --> 00:10:05.693
Gmc people.

00:10:08.465 --> 00:10:08.846
GMC Duramax.

00:10:08.846 --> 00:10:10.009
It's an acronym.

00:10:10.009 --> 00:10:12.027
Gmc stands for God Made Chevrolet.

00:10:12.047 --> 00:10:12.489
There we go.

00:10:12.489 --> 00:10:16.148
The only way to go is with the Pontiac and the GMC.

00:10:16.269 --> 00:10:18.986
Did you know that GMC God Made Chevrolet?

00:10:18.986 --> 00:10:21.326
I forgot it.

00:10:21.326 --> 00:10:25.990
You didn't have to go too far to try to forget it.

00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:27.647
Yeah, I understand.

00:10:28.780 --> 00:10:31.990
But we get a lot of people saying I had one just like that.

00:10:33.042 --> 00:10:34.748
I had a blue one 77, high school.

00:10:34.748 --> 00:10:37.327
He was like the cat's meow when he got it.

00:10:38.140 --> 00:10:39.304
Yeah, we enjoy it.

00:10:39.304 --> 00:10:40.308
We have a lot of fun.

00:10:40.308 --> 00:10:42.326
We do a lot of Christmas parades and things like that.

00:10:42.326 --> 00:10:44.193
I decorate up the firebird parades and things like that.

00:10:44.193 --> 00:10:47.309
I decorate up the firebird with lights and all of that do you do?

00:10:47.390 --> 00:10:48.977
do you do the cleaning, the detailing?

00:10:48.977 --> 00:10:52.467
Under the hood and all that yeah, is the underside as clean as the engine compartment?

00:10:52.467 --> 00:10:53.089
I can't say that.

00:10:53.711 --> 00:10:56.043
I won't say that, all right do you see how low that is?

00:10:56.043 --> 00:10:59.491
Yeah, I have to hook it up to get it in the trailer.

00:10:59.491 --> 00:11:01.864
I don't want to have to get up underneath there to clean it too.

00:11:01.864 --> 00:11:02.885
Okay, well, good.

00:11:03.246 --> 00:11:04.408
That means you can drive it.

00:11:04.408 --> 00:11:05.270
Yeah, I got it.

00:11:05.270 --> 00:11:06.232
Just drive on clean roads.

00:11:06.721 --> 00:11:09.350
I had a car that I had the underside pinstriped.

00:11:09.350 --> 00:11:10.980
I'll never do that again.

00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:11.841
Oh, mm-mm.

00:11:11.841 --> 00:11:13.061
No, oh yeah, no.

00:11:13.061 --> 00:11:14.042
Live and learn, you know.

00:11:14.042 --> 00:11:14.961
Yeah, yeah.

00:11:15.722 --> 00:11:19.504
So we do have fun with it.

00:11:19.504 --> 00:11:20.865
Great classics.

00:11:20.865 --> 00:11:22.005
We're out of Houston.

00:11:23.326 --> 00:11:24.486
Where abouts in Houston, do you live?

00:11:25.067 --> 00:11:31.809
I live in Magnolia, okay, and most of ours are at Northwest Houston is where our car club's at when all the growth?

00:11:31.929 --> 00:11:35.072
is when they can't build freeways and roadways fast enough.

00:11:35.111 --> 00:11:41.433
Yes, sir, we have about 900 homes coming in out there, where our rural area is right now.

00:11:41.553 --> 00:11:43.895
So what main drag strip is out there?

00:11:43.895 --> 00:11:46.336
1488, or where are you?

00:11:47.116 --> 00:11:48.258
We don't have a drag strip.

00:11:48.278 --> 00:11:49.118
Well, you know what I'm saying?

00:11:49.118 --> 00:11:49.597
Where's your main?

00:11:49.597 --> 00:11:51.440
It's FM 1488.

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:52.591
It's 249.

00:11:52.591 --> 00:11:53.279
249.

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:55.908
Yeah 249 right now is not so crowded.

00:11:55.908 --> 00:11:59.090
You can open these up on 249 and clean them out.

00:11:59.090 --> 00:12:00.866
You know, we just it's maintenance.

00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:02.241
Maintenance, getting them out there.

00:12:02.241 --> 00:12:03.764
We do a lot of research.

00:12:03.764 --> 00:12:04.567
It's maintenance.

00:12:04.726 --> 00:12:06.630
I wish you could see the smile on his face.

00:12:06.630 --> 00:12:10.505
Yeah, she's mine, that's my girl right there yeah.

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:14.990
So, yeah, we have a lot of fun, we do.

00:12:15.009 --> 00:12:17.184
We have how many in your club?

00:12:17.184 --> 00:12:18.570
Oof, how about?

00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:24.027
We have 20, I think yeah, so 10 cars or 20 cars?

00:12:24.047 --> 00:12:26.028
How about 10 cars?

00:12:26.028 --> 00:12:27.912
10 cars, yeah, because you've got couples.

00:12:27.912 --> 00:12:35.494
Yeah, so about 10 cars, that's perfect size, and please tell me that you don't take minutes at your meeting.

00:12:35.514 --> 00:12:35.816
God, I can't Do.

00:12:35.816 --> 00:12:36.299
You have meetings.

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.003
Yeah, we have majority meetings.

00:12:41.990 --> 00:12:42.873
Margarita meetings?

00:12:42.873 --> 00:12:43.788
Yes, I think that's what he said.

00:12:43.788 --> 00:12:44.114
And where do you all go get?

00:12:44.072 --> 00:12:45.091

00:12:45.091 --> 00:12:45.554
Yes, I think that's what he said.

00:12:45.554 --> 00:12:46.602
Where do y'all go get margaritas?

00:12:46.602 --> 00:12:47.927
You might find us out there with you one night.

00:12:47.927 --> 00:12:53.409
Oh yeah, you make your own I got.

00:12:53.429 --> 00:12:57.264

00:12:58.668 --> 00:12:59.188
car shows.

00:12:59.188 --> 00:13:03.802
Okay, so somebody brings along uh, do you have the frozen margarita machine?

00:13:03.802 --> 00:13:10.806
I got a friend of mine that actually has a couple of them and so he brings the margarita machines.

00:13:10.806 --> 00:13:14.672
It's all made up, perfect, self-serve yeah.

00:13:14.772 --> 00:13:17.174
That's right, so yeah Well.

Well, oh yeah, we've been the one out of mississippi, right, yeah, yeah, bluxy, yeah, how was that?

00:13:27.729 --> 00:13:34.254
it's too many cars, it's, it's a lot, it's a hard, it's hard on these engines when you're going and stopping and going and stopping on the coast and this kind of weather on the humidity.

00:13:34.676 --> 00:13:41.010
I was at one maybe 20 years ago, a long time ago we've done them for the past five years or so what is it march?

00:13:41.572 --> 00:13:44.044

So it's coming up, have you all registered this year Natchitoches.

00:13:51.085 --> 00:13:52.245
We're going to Natchitoches.

00:13:52.245 --> 00:13:55.009
It's a lot like Granbury, a small little town.

00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:55.410
What's in?

00:13:55.431 --> 00:13:57.433
Natchitoches, a beautiful car show.

00:13:57.433 --> 00:13:58.895
Really it's really well ran.

00:13:58.895 --> 00:14:01.548
It reminds us so much of Granbury.

00:14:01.548 --> 00:14:02.681
This is our first time here.

00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:03.880
It reminds us so much of cranberries.

00:14:03.880 --> 00:14:04.761
This is our first time here, oh really.

00:14:04.782 --> 00:14:05.302
Yeah, on the 50th.

00:14:05.302 --> 00:14:05.582
That's good.

00:14:05.582 --> 00:14:06.322
Yeah, we found out.

00:14:06.322 --> 00:14:07.683
I found out about this.

00:14:07.683 --> 00:14:11.746
See, we have GR8 Classics on Facebook, but you said you graduated high school here.

00:14:11.746 --> 00:14:17.190
We moved away, I moved away, my dad traveled a lot it couldn't have been 50 years ago, because this is the 50th one.

00:14:17.190 --> 00:14:18.230
So you had to know about.

00:14:18.230 --> 00:14:19.971
Jeff.

00:14:19.971 --> 00:14:22.114
God's sakes, I like you.

00:14:22.114 --> 00:14:28.278
I like you, dirty old man, I like you.

00:14:29.321 --> 00:14:30.927
No, I found out about this on Facebook.

00:14:30.927 --> 00:14:37.748
We do a lot of the ones locally, gotcha, we do a lot of the charity ones locally, and I found this on Facebook.

00:14:37.748 --> 00:14:41.191
I went ooh, I need to go up to Granbury, I need to go up to Glen Rose.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.921
You still have family here.

00:14:43.301 --> 00:14:48.604
No, all of mine have passed away and moved away, so I come up to Glen Rose just because I love it.

00:14:48.604 --> 00:14:52.886
Look around a little bit, see the old home, you know, see if it's still standing.

00:14:53.408 --> 00:14:56.009
I didn't know that they let the trolley in, but why not?

00:14:56.528 --> 00:14:57.509
Oh, there you go.

00:14:57.529 --> 00:14:59.071
The trolley came to the hotel last night.

00:14:59.311 --> 00:15:00.192
It comes every hour.

00:15:00.192 --> 00:15:03.953
I think during the day I was thinking David was driving it there for a minute.

00:15:04.073 --> 00:15:05.335
Is that the ladies poker run?

00:15:05.335 --> 00:15:06.775
That may be the ladies poker run.

00:15:06.796 --> 00:15:07.576
You want to get on it.

00:15:07.756 --> 00:15:14.250
No, I'm enjoying myself with y'all, okay, well good, that's complimentary shuttle service.

00:15:19.774 --> 00:15:20.899
Is that the poker run for the ladies?

00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:21.900
Oh Square tram.

00:15:21.921 --> 00:15:26.619
You can't hear it, but he says that's the tram that's going to take the ladies down to downtown and back.

00:15:26.619 --> 00:15:28.424
Yeah, he's rounding up the ladies.

00:15:28.424 --> 00:15:29.227
That's it.

00:15:29.227 --> 00:15:32.625
What were you going to say, Mars?

00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.179
No, I'm still back at Natchitoches.

00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:37.467
I've been over there during Christmas, whenever they have a big Christmas deal there.

00:15:37.567 --> 00:15:38.129
It's beautiful.

00:15:38.551 --> 00:15:39.352
I can't imagine.

00:15:39.352 --> 00:15:43.722
Well, I'd like to imagine I'm going to have to chase down that car show yeah.

00:15:44.004 --> 00:15:44.864
So when is it?

00:15:45.664 --> 00:15:46.004
October.

00:15:46.405 --> 00:15:49.248
Well, we're looking for a sponsor.

00:15:49.248 --> 00:15:57.595
So if you know somebody that would like to sponsor the In Real Time Car Talk Show, we'll go there and we'll do a throw-down car show there, thinking of Pontiac Car Club.

00:15:57.595 --> 00:16:00.057
I mean, you know, you've got deep pockets.

00:16:00.057 --> 00:16:02.447
You know people.

00:16:02.447 --> 00:16:06.369
Clearly I mean, look at this, old people.

00:16:06.369 --> 00:16:13.567
Well, hey, they got money and we're poor, so we need to do a little exchange thing.

00:16:13.567 --> 00:16:14.649
This is a beautiful car.

00:16:14.649 --> 00:16:17.399
Well, thank you very much, and I can't tell you how much we enjoyed talking to you.

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.504
Thank you so much.

00:16:18.504 --> 00:16:19.388
I appreciate it.

00:16:19.388 --> 00:16:21.167
I opened up way more than I thought I would.

00:16:21.167 --> 00:16:23.345
Well, I mean, you know.

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.988
With your family name and everything, yeah, my family name.

00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:27.544
I'm going to have to go hide myself now.

00:16:27.765 --> 00:16:28.347
No, you're not.

00:16:28.347 --> 00:16:31.706
It's all good, particularly down in the Houston area, because that's where we're from.

00:16:32.167 --> 00:16:33.532
Really, where are you all out of?

00:16:33.921 --> 00:16:34.947
Out in Sugar Land.

00:16:34.947 --> 00:16:39.102
Yep, well, we do the show out of.

00:16:39.102 --> 00:16:39.423

Okay, so you can get all your gab fest out of your system over here with all of your fans, because you have to put the headset on.

00:22:04.932 --> 00:22:07.549
Put that microphone right here in front of your mouth.

00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:08.113
There you go, just like that.

00:22:08.133 --> 00:22:24.503

00:22:24.644 --> 00:22:28.371
Well, I don't know we'll see, mean it's going to be a battle of the bands.

00:22:28.371 --> 00:22:29.713
That's what it's going to be.

00:22:29.713 --> 00:22:33.230
But when you pulled in, I didn't see the car.

00:22:33.230 --> 00:22:34.683
All I heard was Jeff going.

00:22:34.683 --> 00:22:38.990
Oh my God, I thought you know, there's going to be a riot here, apparently.

00:22:38.990 --> 00:22:41.099
And I turned around and I looked.

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:46.232
I thought, oh my God, that car is just awesome.

00:22:46.232 --> 00:22:50.263
Well, thank you very much, Thank you that didn't take any time to get it.

00:22:50.263 --> 00:22:50.964
That way did it?

00:22:50.964 --> 00:22:51.925
No, a couple of minutes.

00:22:52.106 --> 00:22:56.271
I've owned it since 2007, but yeah, it didn't look like that when.

00:22:56.271 --> 00:22:59.655
I first got it, it was already a driver.

00:22:59.655 --> 00:23:03.144
I found it on eBay.

00:23:03.164 --> 00:23:04.126
We're going to do the interview now.

00:23:04.448 --> 00:23:05.329
No, we're not.

00:23:05.369 --> 00:23:06.532
This is the tease for the car.

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:10.433
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you found it on eBay.

00:23:10.433 --> 00:23:10.799
Found it on eBay.

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:19.238
And back when I was in high school, my brother and I had to share a 60 Chevy four-door Bel Air six-banger.

00:23:19.238 --> 00:23:28.314
Nothing to it, yeah, and so I already knew when it come time to buy another car.

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:30.445
You wanted something different and big.

00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.770
I wanted a station wagon.

00:23:33.770 --> 00:23:38.971
I already knew I wanted a station wagon and I was looking for a 60 Chevy.

00:23:38.971 --> 00:23:45.625
And so I'd go on eBay and they'd either be out of my budget or projects which I didn't want.

00:23:45.625 --> 00:23:54.573
And so this particular day I just got lathed and tapped in a 1960 wagon.

00:23:55.253 --> 00:23:56.174
Is it a Fairlane?

00:23:56.861 --> 00:23:57.964
It's a ranch wagon.

00:23:58.005 --> 00:23:58.586
Ranch wagon.

00:23:58.586 --> 00:24:01.027
Yeah, like ranch water, but ranch wagon.

00:24:04.542 --> 00:24:07.310
The one that everybody remembers is the Country Squire.

00:24:07.310 --> 00:24:17.432
That's the one that had all the wood on it Right, this is the cheaper model in the wagon lineup, you know, but I liked it in that it gave me blank signs to do what I wanted to with it.

00:24:17.432 --> 00:24:19.244
You know, just like a big blank.

00:24:19.645 --> 00:24:20.983
Yeah, with the scallops on it.

00:24:20.983 --> 00:24:22.048
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:40.834
So anyway, 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, so uh and it's massive.

00:24:41.375 --> 00:24:42.057
Does it fit in the?

00:24:42.097 --> 00:24:42.538
garage.

00:24:42.538 --> 00:24:50.068
Well, uh, yes, it will, yes, it will, and uh, uh, barely, I mean with the garage door down.

00:24:50.068 --> 00:25:00.609
I've got about, you know, foot, foot and a half in front and six inches in the rear.

00:25:00.710 --> 00:25:00.990
Got you.

00:25:01.070 --> 00:25:02.693
All right.

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:05.247
Well, now this is a tease.

00:25:05.247 --> 00:25:12.534
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.

Jeff Zekin, chief Engineer David Ainsley decided to get out of bed and join us this morning.00:31:43.596 --> 00:31:47.002


It's always good seeing David, we see him like every six weeks or so.00:31:47.416 --> 00:31:48.434


No, it's not that often.00:31:48.434 --> 00:31:49.500


Well it seems like.00:31:52.295 --> 00:31:53.200


I mean David's a pleasure to work with.00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:54.085


He's looking for a place to live.00:31:54.085 --> 00:31:55.230


Would you like to come and have him listed with you?00:31:55.290 --> 00:31:58.602


no, I'm thinking maybe there's a lot of real estate going on around this lake.00:31:58.602 --> 00:32:00.547


He's a lake kind of guy, he's an outdoors man.00:32:00.547 --> 00:32:05.647


He could probably find something cheap around here you know, there's nothing cheap around here.00:32:05.875 --> 00:32:09.426


Half a million, you can find something you can find a fixer-upper for half a mil David.00:32:09.426 --> 00:32:10.891


Yeah, yeah, see.00:32:11.211 --> 00:32:11.913


He's in, I get two.00:32:13.176 --> 00:32:16.505


All right, Mr Carr, let's talk to our next guest, please.00:32:16.505 --> 00:32:17.446


It's all yours.00:32:17.654 --> 00:32:20.765


Well, we were teasing this 1964 Ranch Wagon.00:32:20.765 --> 00:32:25.724


It's owned by Larry Davidson, and this is really a beauty right here.00:32:25.724 --> 00:32:31.038


So, larry, why don't you tell us a little bit more about it?00:32:31.038 --> 00:32:33.622


So, larry, why don't you tell us a little bit more about Jeff's going to show it off?00:32:33.622 --> 00:32:36.224


So tell us a little bit more about the car, the car.00:32:37.006 --> 00:32:39.709


So may I, if you don't mind, let me.00:32:39.709 --> 00:32:43.855


He wants to get in it, can he get in it?00:32:43.855 --> 00:32:44.537


There's a fee.00:32:44.537 --> 00:32:45.598


There's a fee.00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:47.381


He's got deep pockets.00:32:47.381 --> 00:32:48.102


Go ahead, Jeff.00:32:48.102 --> 00:32:52.907


Yeah, yeah, Go ahead, you know maybe Ginger ahead, Jeff.00:32:52.928 --> 00:32:53.368


Yeah, yeah, Go ahead.00:32:53.368 --> 00:32:54.309


You know Gingerly Jeff.00:32:54.309 --> 00:32:58.347


So what motor does it have in it, Does it?00:32:58.387 --> 00:32:58.953


have the original motor.00:32:58.953 --> 00:33:00.047


No, no, the old Y-block.00:33:00.047 --> 00:33:00.534


It's gone.00:33:00.534 --> 00:33:09.569


It used to have a 292 Y-block in it, but whenever I got it it already had the engine swap.00:33:09.569 --> 00:33:15.508


It's got a 351 winther in it and a C6 automatic.00:33:16.194 --> 00:33:17.961


So it's been updated.00:33:17.961 --> 00:33:18.944


Yeah, yeah.00:33:19.494 --> 00:33:20.076


Does it have air?00:33:20.116 --> 00:33:22.123


conditioning no, no, why.00:33:23.915 --> 00:33:25.722


Why are you not putting air conditioning in it?00:33:25.722 --> 00:33:27.594


You know, vintage air makes it really a great system.00:33:27.594 --> 00:33:28.940


I think they're here somewhere.00:33:29.141 --> 00:33:32.904


I know, don't let Rick Love hear this are really a great system.00:33:32.904 --> 00:33:43.930


I think they're here somewhere, I know Don't let Rick Love hear this it used to and it was causing the motor overheat even going down the highway down I-35.00:33:43.930 --> 00:33:49.093


And so for now I just took it all out and I've got to work on that.00:33:49.192 --> 00:33:59.669


But that's a future project, future project, fair enough, fair enough that would be a winter time project in the garage, because, you know, in this heat, no, I'm good.00:34:00.056 --> 00:34:01.820


Yeah yeah, absolutely.00:34:01.820 --> 00:34:03.645


Oh, you don't need air and taxis.00:34:03.726 --> 00:34:04.087


Come on.00:34:04.087 --> 00:34:04.950


Yeah, exactly so.00:34:04.950 --> 00:34:13.635


A 1960 ford ranch wagon, and you were mentioning earlier that the Ranch Wagon is the cheaper version.00:34:13.635 --> 00:34:18.762


The Ranch Wagon is the cheaper version of the what wagon.00:34:19.677 --> 00:34:28.501


Well, the Country Squire is the one that everybody remembers and I have a picture of the Country Squire in my home office.00:34:29.724 --> 00:34:44.840


I have a picture, two little pictures my son gave me of the Country Squ uh, two different colors with the wood grain so so, larry, we have a question from the audience about how wide that car is takes up the entire 10 foot lane.00:34:44.860 --> 00:34:58.251


You know, I don't know, on the width Big, I would like to put it up against one of those Tesla trucks you know.00:34:58.472 --> 00:34:58.652


Oh the.00:34:58.692 --> 00:34:58.972


Cyber.00:34:59.094 --> 00:35:00.260


Oh, it's wider than that.00:35:01.215 --> 00:35:02.219


Hummer Generation 1.00:35:03.094 --> 00:35:04.943


I'm thinking your Grills-wise is that Tesla truck?00:35:05.775 --> 00:35:12.242


But I do know this it in 1960.00:35:12.242 --> 00:35:22.614


Nothing off of a 59 or 69, I'm sorry, a 59 or 61 fits a 1960 really one year.00:35:22.614 --> 00:35:25.438


It is a one year only and what only?00:35:25.458 --> 00:35:27.121


what is it that doesn't fit the grill?00:35:27.943 --> 00:35:30.806


pretty much everything uh the only thing?00:35:30.806 --> 00:35:33.751


Uh, well, of course, uh, uh.00:35:33.751 --> 00:35:36.456


59 is a lot narrower and shorter.00:35:36.456 --> 00:35:48.677


I've also got a 59 two-door wagon and one day I butted both of the front bumpers up against the inside wall, put the garage door down and measured from the rear bumper to the wall off each one.00:35:49.378 --> 00:35:56.380


Uh, this one was, uh eight inches longer, but I haven't measured the uh, the width of it.00:35:56.380 --> 00:36:03.275


But in 1960, um uh, the government basically said you made it too wide.00:36:03.275 --> 00:36:10.585


Uh, if you keep it up, a lot of states are going to require running lights if it was a truck.00:36:10.585 --> 00:36:13.688


So in 61, it was obvious.00:36:13.688 --> 00:36:15.490


In 61 they did narrow it.00:36:15.490 --> 00:36:23.188


The only thing that they carried over from 60 to 61 was the dash gauge cluster.00:36:23.855 --> 00:36:26.059


I have to ask you not to interrupt.00:36:26.059 --> 00:36:29.708


But what are these little bullet things up on the top of the fenders in the front?00:36:32.922 --> 00:36:34.146


Oh yeah, for turn signals.00:36:34.976 --> 00:36:48.811


They're called the gun sights, and originally those had just a clear plastic insert in it with a four-pointed gold star.00:36:48.811 --> 00:36:56.001


Well, eventually, through the years, years, that plastic would craze or just get brittle and get busted out and whatnot.00:36:56.001 --> 00:37:04.143


So, uh, when it comes time to when I first got the car, there was just nothing there except for a hollow ring, the outside ring.00:37:04.143 --> 00:37:15.260


And when I first got it, uh, well, but when it come time to paint the car, my painter and I was discussing what to do with it.00:37:15.260 --> 00:37:21.076


Now you can get the replacement reproductions reproduction.00:37:21.135 --> 00:37:28.228


Thank you, inserts, but these are actually freeze plugs.00:37:28.228 --> 00:37:35.829


I'll be darn inch and 7-8 freeze blood that have been chromed and epoxy get in there.00:37:35.829 --> 00:37:40.864


A lot of people think that they're peep mirrors, but they're so far out there they're useless as a mirror.00:37:41.255 --> 00:37:42.860


Well, I mean you can tell they're very.00:37:42.860 --> 00:37:44.385


I mean because they're polished enough.00:37:44.385 --> 00:37:45.434


I can see his reflection.00:37:45.534 --> 00:37:48.222


There's like $18 million worth of chrome on this car.00:37:48.222 --> 00:37:49.507


Don look down the side.00:37:57.155 --> 00:37:59.804


If you could down from my vantage point there is that car is glass all the way from this front fender all the way back down.00:37:59.804 --> 00:38:00.467


I know no, no windshield wipers.00:38:00.487 --> 00:38:09.105


Rainax is my best friend sometimes don if you open the door it smells like a 63 wagon but look at, yeah, but look at how wide the seats are.00:38:09.164 --> 00:38:12.349


I mean, three adults could ride in that comfortably.00:38:12.369 --> 00:38:13.831


Three.00:38:13.851 --> 00:38:14.693


Four, Four yeah.00:38:15.034 --> 00:38:26.070


Well, actually this is in 60, well, other years too, but they had six passenger and nine passenger.00:38:26.070 --> 00:38:34.704


This one was originally a nine passenger, meaning that it had the third rear seat, but whenever I got it it was gone.00:38:34.704 --> 00:38:45.663


It was history, so, but yeah, actually, back on the gun sight on one of them.00:38:45.663 --> 00:38:50.010


They didn't polish out the inch and 7-8s that were stamped in it.00:38:50.257 --> 00:38:58.385


You can still faintly see the inch and seven eights, uh, but, uh, but yeah so have you tried to find the?00:38:58.385 --> 00:38:58.987


The back seat.00:38:58.987 --> 00:39:00.655


Was the back seat, the one that looked out?00:39:00.675 --> 00:39:13.987


the back, yeah yeah, man, I sure would like to have that well, you know, it wasn't that big a deal for me, and then I kind of of liked having the cargo area back there too.00:39:14.068 --> 00:39:14.889


Yeah, yeah.00:39:14.889 --> 00:39:22.967


And so yeah, and was it your idea to put the mirrored half sleepy eyes on it?00:39:24.775 --> 00:39:27.762


They were already the headlight covers.00:39:27.762 --> 00:39:30.068


They were already on it whenever I bought it.00:39:30.335 --> 00:39:33.581


Well, it's hard to actually even tell because there's so much chrome on the front of it.00:39:33.621 --> 00:39:42.096


I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but it's obvious now yeah, yeah, it's been lowered, uh, three inches all the way around does it need to be lowered?00:39:42.356 --> 00:39:48.329


my god, the thing is a tank uh, yeah, and I look cool well it does.00:39:48.329 --> 00:39:49.039


His shirt is even sort of a blend.00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:49.943


He's kind of like doesn't uh overpower.00:39:49.943 --> 00:39:50.728


Well, it does look cool, All right.00:39:50.748 --> 00:39:51.775


So there he is His shirt is even sort of a blend.00:39:51.775 --> 00:39:55.715


He's kind of like doesn't overpower the match, but he's you know color coordinated with his car.00:39:55.815 --> 00:39:58.322


My next question is the skirts.00:39:58.643 --> 00:40:01.054


Yeah, fender skirts Wagons didn't come with skirts.00:40:01.054 --> 00:40:05.706


They were just for the Galaxies and the sportier models.00:40:05.726 --> 00:40:06.728


Did it fit the fender?00:40:08.056 --> 00:40:09.201


Same exact skirt.00:40:09.514 --> 00:40:13.750


Same exact skirt same, so the wheel opening is the same, yeah yeah and uh.00:40:13.949 --> 00:40:18.521


All I had to do is just put a couple of uh pegs in the uh clip on.00:40:18.521 --> 00:40:20.885


Uh, now there's these skirts.00:40:20.885 --> 00:40:30.762


Uh, they're still have the locking mechanism, but you had to have a couple of pegs in order to line them up and give them something otherwise they would pivot on you.00:40:30.782 --> 00:40:32.867


Yeah, the wheels are those Detroit wheels.00:40:32.867 --> 00:40:35.983


They make those in Detroit, don't they that particular wheel?00:40:35.983 --> 00:40:37.708


There's a company in Detroit.00:40:38.030 --> 00:40:43.146


Yeah, yeah, these are actually original station wagon wheels.00:40:43.146 --> 00:40:54.989


They're 14-inch, and how you can tell is that there's no slouch where the center meets the rim.00:40:57.097 --> 00:40:59.981


And for whatever reason, it's just a solid steel wheel.00:41:00.335 --> 00:41:01.460


It's a solid steel wheel.00:41:01.460 --> 00:41:04.481


Yeah, I'll be darned and I wanted 14s just.00:41:05.894 --> 00:41:07.568


Because you wanted those white whites on.00:41:07.568 --> 00:41:08.414


There is what you wanted.00:41:08.594 --> 00:41:18.434


Well, whenever I found it on eBay, it had American mags on it and black walls and big lures.00:41:18.454 --> 00:41:19.960


No, no, this is too good.00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:26.507


And whenever I first saw the car I thought man, that thing needs some white walls.00:41:26.588 --> 00:41:27.128


Yeah, it does.00:41:27.695 --> 00:41:51.947


And so I've come up with wheels, and originally the car was silver, but the dash and all the window bezels, they haven't been repainted, they're the same color as when I bought it, and so to me the silver and the blue didn't really click.00:41:51.947 --> 00:41:57.827


But I drove it like that for oh, I don't know seven years or so.00:41:57.847 --> 00:41:57.987


Wow.00:41:58.976 --> 00:42:01.204


But the first thing I did was put the wheels on.00:42:01.204 --> 00:42:10.068


I had them painted blue to bring that blue back out that was on the dash and everything that was on the dash and everything.00:42:10.068 --> 00:42:27.407


And then, when it come time to paint it, well, the only reason, one reason I went ahead and had it painted, is every time I'd wash it for a show, I'd either see an existing rust blister get worse or a new one pop up.00:42:28.297 --> 00:42:33.496


It's like, okay, you've got to do something here and pop up.00:42:33.516 --> 00:42:35.481


Yeah, it's like, okay, you've got to do something here, you know.00:42:35.481 --> 00:42:40.936


So I told my painter, rather than repaint uh the dash and all the uh interior, uh trim pieces, let's just go ahead and paint it blue.00:42:40.936 --> 00:42:45.326


And it ended up being a lucky decision, I mean no, it wasn't.00:42:45.387 --> 00:42:46.896


You can't tell people that you got.00:42:46.896 --> 00:42:57.016


To say I recently I wanted that color because, I'll be honest with you, my sister had a car similar in color.00:42:57.016 --> 00:42:58.601


It was a ford station wagon.00:42:58.601 --> 00:43:03.856


I don't remember what make it was, yeah, but it was that close to that color.00:43:03.856 --> 00:43:09.795


So ford had a color that was close to that back in the day, just say I've heard that.00:43:09.835 --> 00:43:13.242


I've heard that, uh, and I really haven't researched.00:43:13.262 --> 00:43:13.923


Would you ever sell?00:43:13.983 --> 00:43:16.548


it Would I no.00:43:17.516 --> 00:43:22.362


If I offered you $500,000 for that car, I bet you'd sell it.00:43:23.063 --> 00:43:23.344


Keith.00:43:23.344 --> 00:43:24.425


You're in it, keith, yeah.00:43:28.376 --> 00:43:32.898


So when you pull into a show like this and you've never been people don't know who you are.00:43:32.898 --> 00:43:35.585


Do they come running to you with?00:43:35.626 --> 00:43:36.306


throngs.00:43:36.306 --> 00:43:38.693


Well, he parked it and folks were gathering around Right.00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:40.362


They really do.00:43:40.362 --> 00:43:43.322


Yeah, there's a lot of rubbernecking, which I think is cool.00:43:43.402 --> 00:43:43.985


It is very cool.00:43:43.985 --> 00:43:46.280


Well, it turned me around when he pulled in.00:43:46.802 --> 00:43:51.927


Yeah, well, I will tell you that there was a day when station wagons were not cool.00:43:51.927 --> 00:43:56.726


The funny thing about it is today they are the hot thing.00:43:56.726 --> 00:43:59.224


You can't find them anywhere.00:43:59.224 --> 00:44:01.222


People are snapping them up left and right.00:44:01.534 --> 00:44:03.065


It's the original sport utility.00:44:03.427 --> 00:44:03.931


It is actually.00:44:03.951 --> 00:44:04.494


Yeah, yeah.00:44:04.494 --> 00:44:10.186


Well, a lot of them either were crushed or ended up in demolition derbies.00:44:10.394 --> 00:44:11.280


Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.00:44:12.338 --> 00:44:27.621


And then crushed or parts cars, yeah, yeah and uh, oh yeah, uh, but uh, yeah, I've, I've had a lot, a lot of fun with this car a little scooter in the back of it, I did yep yeah, um, that is.00:44:27.621 --> 00:44:55.349


They called it a jet mobile and it was made here in Texas from 1946 until 1948 out of World War II practice bombs and the demise of them was that they were so simple that a lot of people just running down to the Army surplus store and getting an auto bomb and welding a bicycle seat to it and making your own steering and put an axle in the rear.00:44:56.657 --> 00:44:57.579


They had the same thing.00:44:57.579 --> 00:45:06.369


You know, I've only seen about maybe five out in the wild true jet mobiles.00:45:06.469 --> 00:45:14.208


You know I had one guy up at the invasion in Dallas.00:45:14.208 --> 00:45:21.028


He knew what it was and he approached me and said he has one that's never been ridden on.00:45:21.028 --> 00:45:32.463


It was in an old Macy's somewhere and when they got finished displaying it in their toy department they put it up in the attic and's where it's set.00:45:32.463 --> 00:45:33.346


Until he got it.00:45:33.346 --> 00:45:41.815


They were originally a red oxide primer with a yellow uh decal on them that said jet mobile.00:45:42.195 --> 00:45:44.838


But it's very nice, so is this your first time?00:45:44.898 --> 00:45:45.039


here.00:45:45.039 --> 00:46:00.967


No, I used to be a director for LSSRA on three different time periods, and so, yeah, I've been behind the curtains and in front of the curtains here at the state run.00:46:01.014 --> 00:46:02.280


Well, this is absolutely fabulous.00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:05.121


Well, thank you, congratulations, and I mean that sincerely.00:46:05.121 --> 00:46:07.762


It's a beautiful car.00:46:08.063 --> 00:46:08.766


It's a driver.00:46:08.766 --> 00:46:13.960


I've driven it to California four times and Michigan twice, but you've done such a good job with it.00:46:14.282 --> 00:46:15.827


I mean really Thank you.00:46:15.827 --> 00:46:25.327


As you know, in this business you can go any direction that you want, but to come up with something like this, the subtlety of it actually stands out.00:46:25.327 --> 00:46:31.900


The striping is perfect, even the pinstriping on the hood and I'm not a pinstriping guy, but it works for that car.00:46:31.900 --> 00:46:39.905


That is not just a regular sign, that is a billboard of magnitude right there, it's huge.00:46:40.065 --> 00:46:40.726


Yeah, it is.00:46:42.858 --> 00:46:43.599


How much does it weigh?00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:43.900


Do you know?00:46:44.702 --> 00:46:45.344


Yeah, I don't know.00:46:46.146 --> 00:46:47.268


A lot yeah.00:46:48.175 --> 00:46:51.146


It depends on if it rolls across your foot.00:46:51.255 --> 00:46:52.344


What does it got about it?00:46:52.344 --> 00:46:53.373


How big is the gas tank?00:46:53.373 --> 00:47:00.356


20 gallon, 20, yeah, 20 gallons, yeah yeah, and uh, and I'll bet it sucks it down just as good as it goes in.00:47:00.356 --> 00:47:08.617


I get about 15, 15 that's average for today's cars, you know and uh, so yeah well, larry, it's great to talk to you.00:47:08.617 --> 00:47:11.804

I don't know if Mars, is he capable of doing that?00:47:33.233 --> 00:47:33.715


I don't know if I trust him.00:47:33.715 --> 00:47:34.485


I think I should do it for him, just in case.00:47:35.106 --> 00:47:36.507


Yeah, no, I wouldn't do it if I were you.00:47:36.507 --> 00:47:40.173

Mr Marr has put together a little feature called Driving Destinations and guess what we got him?00:51:26.331 --> 00:51:30.306

going to intertwine the two.00:51:34.791 --> 00:51:38.769


Well, I kind of thought this might be a nice lead-in, a lead-in, lead-in.00:51:38.769 --> 00:51:42.440


Okay, segue, okay, well, so by having her here now.00:51:42.481 --> 00:51:44.246


You know you're going to get graded on all this.00:51:44.246 --> 00:51:45.670


Actually, you better make it right.00:51:45.670 --> 00:51:46.442


Here you go.00:51:46.442 --> 00:51:48.206


Driving destinations, mr morris.00:51:48.286 --> 00:51:54.510


speaking of segues, one of the things you can do that you may not have heard about yet, you can do a segue tourway tour of downtown Granbury.00:51:54.510 --> 00:52:05.291


You know it's easy and the great thing about this, not only does it move fairly quickly but you've got guides that's going to tell you all the historical tidbits and some of the stories Historical Theoretically.00:52:07.659 --> 00:52:13.202


Even if you're a first-time Segway rider, they can make it work for you and for the ladies.00:52:13.202 --> 00:52:16.291


You can go find the granberry dollhouse museum now.00:52:16.291 --> 00:52:22.320


This is where you're going to find 6 000 dolls you're not allowed down there well, my court order says I can't go down there.00:52:22.362 --> 00:52:36.811


Exactly right, I was gonna let you go down there for me, yeah, no uh, so there, um, the dolls are set up in miniature scenes with a lot of detail and if you're really into the dolls, and particularly if you've got young ladies with you children that would be a great place to take them to.00:52:36.831 --> 00:52:40.108


Oh my God, I think you need to go to the next item on your list.00:52:40.380 --> 00:52:43.570


That's the Granbury Hike and Bike Trail to Hewlett Park.00:52:43.570 --> 00:52:49.913


Now this is an historic parkway that kind of goes and brings everybody to the park along the lake.00:52:49.913 --> 00:52:57.072


Now it's stroller-friendly, it's got shaded areas on it, You've got some wildlife and there's parks along the way that the kids can play.00:52:57.092 --> 00:52:58.494


There's wildlife right here on the End.00:52:58.494 --> 00:52:59.655


Wheel Time Car Talk Show.00:52:59.860 --> 00:53:06.873


All you got to do is get here Now across the highway from us, right here by the main thing is the Granbury City Beach Park.00:53:06.873 --> 00:53:12.967


Now, this is close to the downtown square and it's across the highway, kind of sort of from Hewlett Park and it's right on the lake.00:53:12.967 --> 00:53:22.201


It's got a place where you can build sandcastles, picnics, you can go swimming, kayaks All of that's out there and just right across the street from us.00:53:22.201 --> 00:53:22.782


Then you can go.00:53:22.782 --> 00:53:26.284


And this is one I thought was really interesting the Acton State Historial Site.00:53:26.284 --> 00:53:27.146


Did I say that correctly?00:53:27.186 --> 00:53:27.925


We went through Acton.00:53:27.925 --> 00:53:29.307


We went through Acton.00:53:29.307 --> 00:53:30.809


Yeah, we did, yeah, well, there there's an.00:53:30.949 --> 00:53:34.132


Acton Methodist Church, across the street from the Acton Baptist.00:53:34.172 --> 00:53:36.373


Church, which is down the street from the Acton Catholic Church.00:53:36.373 --> 00:53:38.016


Are they all the same?00:53:38.056 --> 00:53:38.396


preacher.00:53:39.117 --> 00:53:42.920


I think they're different, but you know we've got a lot of really faithful people here in town Really.00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:44.463


So lots of places for people to go.00:53:44.565 --> 00:53:46.208


Okay, did you see the cemetery?00:53:46.208 --> 00:53:49.367


We did, that's a state historical site.00:53:49.387 --> 00:53:49.789


You know what?00:53:55.679 --> 00:53:57.425


I'm headed in that direction as quick as I could get there.00:53:57.425 --> 00:54:09.445


Well, pay attention when you go by, because this is the smallest state historical site in the state of texas and this is where elizabeth crockett, wife of davy's wife is buried and they have a nice statue and a nice monument there and, uh, they've got a crockett king of the wild frontier.00:54:09.445 --> 00:54:12.452


We're not sure what he did.00:54:12.452 --> 00:54:14.467


He didn't spend a lot of state in the land of the free, sorry.00:54:14.425 --> 00:54:14.961


So if you're a history buff, that's a good place to go.00:54:14.961 --> 00:54:15.358


And uh, you're not sure what he did with his money.00:54:15.315 --> 00:54:15.862


He didn't spend them on singing lessons, Sorry.00:54:15.862 --> 00:54:21.969


So if you're a history buff, that's a good place to go, and also the Ghost and Legends Night Tour.00:54:21.969 --> 00:54:27.045


Now this is where you can go down through historic downtown after dark, which Don's not allowed to.00:54:27.045 --> 00:54:36.130


Court order says he can't go down there after dark and, Kay, it takes you around where you're going to find out about John Wilkes Booth and his connection to the town.00:54:36.429 --> 00:54:38.775


Oh boy, wow, Did not know that.00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:40.083


Well, we have an expert here.00:54:40.083 --> 00:54:40.827


We're going to ask him.00:54:40.827 --> 00:54:42.864


All right, I'm not going to dwell on it.00:54:42.864 --> 00:54:47.362


Also, if you're looking for something else to do, that's kind of unique.00:54:47.362 --> 00:54:53.809


The Brazos Drive-In Movie Theater yeah, now, this is one of the last remaining operational drive-in movie theaters.00:54:53.809 --> 00:55:00.956


Since 1952 this thing's been going on Shows, double features and families and you can go out and sit in your lawn chairs with blankets.00:55:00.956 --> 00:55:07.349


We did that in New Brunsville's last year ago on the Hot Rod Tour.00:55:07.349 --> 00:55:08.938


It was really nice weather you could sit out there, it was really nice.00:55:08.958 --> 00:55:09.260


This ain't that.00:55:09.260 --> 00:55:10.706


No, it was cold, if I remember.00:55:10.980 --> 00:55:11.844


No, but it's hot now.00:55:11.844 --> 00:55:18.108


So, uh, that's some few things that you can do in granbury that might not be on their main tour list.00:55:18.108 --> 00:55:19.213


Well, you know what?00:55:19.273 --> 00:55:25.510


we're gonna have to get the judgment from the judge over here on whether how well you did so.00:55:25.510 --> 00:55:35.293


Don't be bragging just yet, okay well, I may not be able to later no, you might not, so you're going to be our guest at the top of the hour.00:55:35.333 --> 00:55:35.795


Perfect.00:55:36.240 --> 00:55:38.429


She's the spokesperson for Granbury this year.00:55:38.429 --> 00:55:42.648


Tammy is out doing gallivanting around somewhere else.00:55:42.668 --> 00:55:44.110


Family business, family business.00:55:44.311 --> 00:55:50.001


Okay, all right, so I've got a couple of headlines I want to get to you, If I can find them.00:55:50.001 --> 00:55:51.603


Ah yes, here they are.00:55:51.603 --> 00:56:04.376


Protesters destroyed five Waymo robo-taxis amid political unrest in LA on June the 8th, prompting fresh questions about the role autonomous vehicles play during troublesome times.00:56:04.376 --> 00:56:10.648


Video footage showed protesters spraying graffiti on the vehicles and smashing their windows and windshields.00:56:10.648 --> 00:56:12.594


Black smoke filled the skies.00:56:12.594 --> 00:56:14.221


Demonstrators set the Waymos on fire.00:56:14.221 --> 00:56:15.762


Black smoke filled the skies.00:56:15.762 --> 00:56:21.788


Demonstrators set the Waymos on fire, and they are Jaguar I-PACE electric vehicles upfitted with autonomous driving tech.00:56:21.788 --> 00:56:22.869


A blaze.00:56:22.869 --> 00:56:30.295


According to multiple media reports, one person appeared to use a makeshift flamethrower to torch at least one of the vehicles.00:56:30.295 --> 00:56:38.371


According to the Los Angeles Times, waymo said June 9th it has suspended its autonomous ride-hailing service because they've run out of cars.00:56:38.371 --> 00:56:40.806


It's not why, but I'd made that up.00:56:40.806 --> 00:56:40.860


Do?00:56:40.900 --> 00:56:42.065


you know how the Waymos got there.00:56:42.065 --> 00:56:46.297


The protesters took the Waymo to the protest and then destroyed the car.00:56:46.518 --> 00:56:46.739


Did they?00:56:46.739 --> 00:56:47.885


I thought they called them up.00:56:47.885 --> 00:56:49.286


No, some of them took them.00:56:49.286 --> 00:56:51.099


Some of them took them there.00:56:51.099 --> 00:56:52.686


You have to order them up because there's no driver.00:56:52.706 --> 00:56:53.510


Some of them took them there.00:56:53.510 --> 00:56:55.358


You have to order them up because there's no driver.00:56:56.380 --> 00:56:59.135


Yeah, and you jump in and you say I want to go to this particular street, I want to go to the intersection of Mars and Armstrong.00:56:59.460 --> 00:57:04.262


Yeah, pick me up at Mars and Armstrong and I'm going to firebomb you when you get there, and then when you get there.00:57:04.302 --> 00:57:06.590


We're going to get out and set your car on fire yeah.00:57:06.730 --> 00:57:07.070


Amazing.00:57:07.070 --> 00:57:10.007


Now to something completely different.00:57:10.007 --> 00:57:20.753


Ram is bringing its vaunted hemi back as an option on the 1500 pickup truck this summer, after dropping it for the 2025 model year.00:57:20.753 --> 00:57:26.445


The 5.7 liter hemi v8 with mild hybrid e-torque technology will be offered on the 2026 ram 1500.00:57:26.445 --> 00:57:32.402

The engine's available as a $1,200 upgrade.00:57:36.152 --> 00:57:39.690


Delivers 395 horsepower, 410 pound-feet of torque.00:57:39.690 --> 00:57:50.735


Ram CEO Tim Kaniskes made the Hemi's return a priority when he came back to the brand in December after Carl, the then-CEO, resigned.00:57:50.735 --> 00:58:00.503


He didn't resign, he got fired, just saying yeah, I know we're kind of brutal at times here on the In Real Time Show.00:58:00.503 --> 00:58:01.505


Some of us.00:58:01.505 --> 00:58:05.231

And not only that, but he hangs out where the dolls are around, oh boy, 6,000 of them 6,000 dolls.00:58:16.860 --> 00:58:22.742


You know that's something that you'd find the family cat parked in the middle of them and all you could see all the dolls.00:58:22.742 --> 00:58:24.507


And then all of a sudden you look closer, there's a cat.00:58:24.527 --> 00:58:25.429

And then all of a sudden, you look and you go there's an arrow.00:58:42.353 --> 00:58:47.166


And it's the real live cat in there Funny, all right Time.00:58:47.166 --> 00:58:49.030
