#5 LSSRA member Don Goodnight, his '32 Ford, and the World of Street Rods
About this episode
Don Goodnight, a long-time member of the Lone Star Street Rod Association, shares his passion for street rods, particularly his prized '32 Ford. He discusses the evolution of car shows, the camaraderie among car enthusiasts, and the challenges of maintaining classic vehicles. Don reflects on his experiences building cars, the significance of traditional setups, and the shift in car culture over the decades. The episode also touches on automotive news and features a lively discussion about the future of AM radio in vehicles.
Join us as we sit down with Mr. Don Goodnight, the original fifth member of the Lone Star Street Rod Association, and get a first-hand account of his passion for hot-rodding and his incredible 32 Ford high boy and 35 Chevy. We cover everything from the unique suspension on his Ford high boy to why hot-rodders are so familiar with small block Chevrolet motors.
We also dive into the sense of camaraderie and the ever-evolving nature of the street rodder car community, as Don recounts stories from the past when people would explore the country in search of these automotive gems to start building street rods.
We discuss how car shows have shifted to one-day events and explore the founding of the Lone Star Street Rod Association and its many member clubs. Plus, in our Feature segment, Jeff Dziekan shows us some American cars not sold in the USA, like the Ford Fairmont GT.
