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. Ready, set, go!Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
