This popular gathering of automotive enthusiasts provides the perfect backdrop for conversations with passionate car collectors and restorers who share the stories behind their prized vehicles.Stan Holt, the proprietor of Loopy Tortilla and host of the event, sits down with us to discuss his impressive 52-car collection. With characteristic humor, Stan shares the tale of his impulsive purchase of a 1941 Packard at a Mecum Auction despite not registering as a bidder. \"The guy was asking me where's your bidder number? I said I don't have a bidder number. He said you can't bid without a bidder number. I said oh yeah, you can. I just bought that,\" Stan recounts with a laugh. His collection includes everything from this beautiful Packard to a 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with period-correct avocado green interior.We also speak with Trey Sider about his meticulously restored 1958 Plymouth Fury, modeled after the iconic car from Stephen King's \"Christine.\" Trey details the four-year restoration process, including trips to California scrapyards to source authentic parts. His dedication has resulted in a show-winning vehicle that captures the essence of late-1950s automotive design, complete with period-correct interior fabrics and a powerful 392 Hemi engine.Between these fascinating conversations, we discuss upcoming events including the Hot Rod Tour of Texas, which will bring over 300 classic cars through the back roads from Victoria to Madisonville. We also provide a comprehensive review of the 2025 Toyota Corolla and practical recommendations for parents looking to purchase used SUVs for teen drivers.Throughout the episode, nostalgic discussions about automotive history – from cigarette lighters in dashboards to the evolution of power steering – create a rich tapestry of car culture that spans generations. Join us for this celebration of automotive passion where every vehicle has a story to tell and every collector has a unique journey to share.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.
