A Retro Roadtrip with Classic Car Enthusiast Jimmy Austin with his 1929 Ford Roadster pickup!
About this episode
Classic car enthusiast Jimmy Austin shares insights about his unique 1929 Ford Roadster pickup, which features a powerful Buick 455 Stage 1 engine. The conversation dives into the car's modifications, the challenges of fitting the engine, and the joys of driving a vehicle that stands out at car shows. Austin discusses his experiences in the automotive world, including his history with Mustangs and other classic cars, while also reflecting on the camaraderie found in car culture. The episode is filled with humor and engaging anecdotes about the classic car community.
Rev up your engines and join us as we hit the road with classic car enthusiast and hot rod aficionado, Jimmy Austin, straight from the buzzing 63rd annual Autorama in Houston, Texas. With Jimmy as our guide, we explore his one-of-a-kind 1929 Ford Model A Roadster pickup, complete with a 455 Buick Stage 1 engine that packs more than a punch. The adventure doesn't end there - Jimmy's got a treasure trove of hot rods and memories from car shows that he's waiting to share with you.
Buckle up, as we shift gears from the present to the past, with a look at our feature 'This Week in Auto History' - taking a nostalgic drive through the annals of the automotive industry. The journey takes us from General Motors' landmark 50 millionth car in 1954 to Ford's ill-fated EdSol brand, and the tragic loss of JFK in a Lincoln Continental convertible.
We also tease an upcoming episode dedicated to unique cars that were only produced for a year. That's not all - we've got a sneak peek at the 2023 Jeep Compass, a beast of a vehicle that's turning heads in the small SUV market.
Remember, it's not just about the destination, but the journey too. So, tune in and let's drive into the world of classic cars with our host Don Armstrong, every Saturday morning.
