• 2:00
  Don Armstrong: No, it's all Ford Motor Company.
• 2:02
  Don Armstrong: Seriously, yeah, it's all Ford Motor Company.
• 2:04
  Don Armstrong: And I don't have anything against Ford.
• 2:05
  Don Armstrong: I didn't do this.
• 2:06
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, well, they just got a JD Parr award.
• 2:08
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 2:09

  Don Armstrong: Ford F-150 2018 to 2020.
• 2:13
  Don Armstrong: Daytime running lights may not dim.
• 2:16
  Don Armstrong: That's being recalled.
• 2:17
  Don Armstrong: All of these are recalls.
• 2:18
  Don Armstrong: Um, window automatic reversal system malfunction and the Ford Escape, you ain't escaping from that 2017 model.
• 2:26
  Jeff Dziekan: That's a safety feature in case like someone's got their arm or a kid's in the way.
• 2:29
  Don Armstrong: How about this unintended vehicle movement?
• 2:32
  Don Armstrong: What exactly does that mean?
• 2:35
  Don Armstrong: Is it a herky jerky kind of?
• 2:36
  Don Armstrong: Maybe a lurch, put it in park, maybe it moves.
• 2:39
  Don Armstrong: I don't know.
• 2:39
  Don Armstrong: Well, that would be the Ford F-150 for 2018.
• 2:43
  Don Armstrong: Transmission clutch may fracture and leak fluid on the Ford Focus and Ford Fusion 2013 through 2018.
• 2:52
  Don Armstrong: Five years.
• 2:53
  Don Armstrong: Okay, so these are older models.
• 2:55
  Don Armstrong: Some steering wheel hands-off detection alerts may fail in the Lincoln Nautilus for 2019.
• 3:02
  Don Armstrong: Good.
• 3:04
  Don Armstrong: Unexpected downshift can cause loss of control in the F-150 for 2014.
• 3:10
  Jeff Dziekan: That's they just had that recently too on another model.
• 3:14
  Jeff Dziekan: If you're keeping score at home, that's a repeat.
• 3:17
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Don Armstrong: Well, not on the same vehicle.
• 3:18
  Don Armstrong: No, not the same vehicle, the same issue, different, different.
• 3:20
  Don Armstrong: Different model, yeah.
• 3:22
  Don Armstrong: Thought you'd like those.
• 3:24
  Don Armstrong: So that's the recall list.
• 3:25
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 3:26
  Don Armstrong: Now it's time to can he's he's away and he's got the he's got the giddy up for that.
• 3:33
  Don Armstrong: Oh, he does have the giddy up for that.
• 3:35
  Jeff Dziekan: I've got that.
• 3:35
  Don Armstrong: So and he's away.
• 3:37
  Don Armstrong: And he's away.
• 3:38
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 3:38
  Don Armstrong: Well, we're gonna hold on to the sold car roundup for a few minutes until he returns, I think.
• 3:45
  Don Armstrong: If I could get to it, I could do it, but it's the screen is uh oh different.
• 3:53
  Don Armstrong: Mr.
• 3:53
  Don Armstrong: Morris, do you happen to have the sold car roundup available?
• 3:57
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, it's ready.
• 3:58
  Mike Marrs: Oh, ready, ready.
• 3:59
  Don Armstrong: All right, are you ready?
• 4:00
  Don Armstrong: Okay, so we're gonna do that then.
• 4:02
  Don Armstrong: All right, sign in, everybody.
• 4:04
  Don Armstrong: We're ready to go.
• 4:06
  Don Armstrong: Everybody waits for this, and this is a this is a fun feature that we came up with, and we hope you like it.
• 4:11
  Don Armstrong: So these are cars that sold on the online auction that Hemings has every week.
• 4:16
  Don Armstrong: You could actually sell your car on here as well.
• 4:19
  Don Armstrong: And we try to pick some of the classics and some of the unique vehicles that show up on here.
• 4:23
  Don Armstrong: So the first up this uh this morning is going to be a if I could turn the page, a 1986 Chevrolet K10.
• 4:38
  Don Armstrong: There it is, an 86 Chevy K10, what we call a square body.
• 4:42
  Don Armstrong: It's the two-door because that's all they had back then.
• 4:45
  Don Armstrong: How much do you think that that sold car sold for?
• 4:50
  Don Armstrong: 86 Chevy K10.
• 4:53
  Don Armstrong: I don't know how many miles it's got on it.
• 4:55
  Don Armstrong: We're not gonna get all that detail, but it looks like it's very well kept, nice paint job.
• 5:00
  Don Armstrong: It's got uh some aftermarket tires and wheels on it, chrome bumper.
• 5:05
  Don Armstrong: It's got uh an overrider on the front of it under the hood, it looks pretty good to me.
• 5:09
  Jeff Dziekan: Okay, I'm gonna say my price, so don't give me any feedback on this.
• 5:11
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go 12 grand.
• 5:13
  Don Armstrong: 12 grand.
• 5:14
  Don Armstrong: Who's who else is uh joining us today?
• 5:17
  Mike Marrs: Heitzman says 15 and Mr.
• 5:22
  Mike Marrs: Lusk and company say 37k.
• 5:25
  Don Armstrong: Oh, interesting.
• 5:27
  Don Armstrong: He must have one.
• 5:28
  Don Armstrong: Well, um, you know, I have to tell you that um Mr.
• 5:32
  Don Armstrong: Lusk is closer than anybody else.
• 5:34
  Don Armstrong: Oh, this truck sold for$24,045.
• 5:38
  Don Armstrong: Wow.
• 5:39
  Don Armstrong: So impressive.
• 5:40
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Don Armstrong: Um, it's a little pricey for me, but I would buy that truck.
• 5:45
  Don Armstrong: I can see myself driving.
• 5:46
  Don Armstrong: Not for that much.
• 5:47
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, no, I didn't say you know, Barrett Jackson is running this weekend, and they're in Cincinnati, Ohio.
• 5:52
  Jeff Dziekan: Cleveland, Ohio, I believe.
• 5:54
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, which is the home.
• 5:56
  Mike Marrs: I guess one of them sold at Barrett Jackson for$100K last night.
• 6:00
  Don Armstrong: Uh see there, he's watching it too.
• 6:02
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, that's too much.
• 6:03
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, okay.
• 6:04
  Don Armstrong: Next up, Jeff, a 19 and 41 Cadillac 61.
• 6:11
  Don Armstrong: Do that, baby.
• 6:13
  Don Armstrong: Look at that.
• 6:14
  Don Armstrong: And it and uh it's got the it's got blacked-out regular steel wheels with wide whites on it.
• 6:20
  Don Armstrong: It looks super clean.
• 6:21
  Don Armstrong: It's a two-door, isn't it?
• 6:23
  Don Armstrong: I think it's a two-door.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it's it's not it's not two door.
• 6:28
  Don Armstrong: It's not the body style that I would go for.
• 6:30
  Don Armstrong: It certainly is a look, and it would look really good on the hot rod tour of Texas.
• 6:35
  Don Armstrong: So, how much do you think that that 41 Caddy 61 would cost?
• 6:39
  Jeff Dziekan: It's got too much mods on it.
• 6:41
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, hard to guess with the paint and everything and wheels.
• 6:45
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go 21,000.
• 6:47
  Jeff Dziekan: 21,000.
• 6:49
  Don Armstrong: Lust family system 30.
• 6:51
  Don Armstrong: Is that is that a flathead V8?
• 6:53
  Don Armstrong: It kind of looks like one, yeah.
• 6:54
  Don Armstrong: It is a flathead, so it's probably got a factory original flathead in it, I assume.
• 7:02
  Mike Marrs: So I'm not familiar with the 41 Catalan.
• 7:05
  Don Armstrong: I know either and the engine options that it had.
• 7:07
  Mike Marrs: Looking at the rest of the agent apartment, I'd say it's original.
• 7:10
  Mike Marrs: Now, this uh Mr.
• 7:12
  Mike Marrs: Adams on here is actually Mr.
• 7:13
  Mike Marrs: Ainsley's incognito.
• 7:15
  Don Armstrong: Oh, I see.
• 7:16
  Don Armstrong: Well, it sold for six thousand dollars.
• 7:20
  Don Armstrong: Well, come on now, six thousand dollars, Jeff.
• 7:23
  Don Armstrong: That's what it's sold for, you know.
• 7:25
  Jeff Dziekan: I could see that.
• 7:26
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, because it's yeah, I could see that because it's just it's it's yeah, it it's a little bit too much.
• 7:32
  Don Armstrong: I think that I would tone it down a little bit.
• 7:34
  Don Armstrong: Exactly.
• 7:35
  Don Armstrong: I think that I put me some you know, Crager SS on or something, and I get those a little bit milder than that, you know, looks more gaudy.
• 7:41
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Mike Marrs: All right, next up real popular, right?
• 7:47
  Don Armstrong: Next up is the 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
• 7:54
  Don Armstrong: It's had some mods to it.
• 7:56
  Don Armstrong: That's certainly not a stock hood, I don't think.
• 8:01
  Don Armstrong: Would you agree with that?
• 8:02
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, I would say so.
• 8:03
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:04
  Don Armstrong: It's clean looking, it's nice looking, I think.
• 8:07
  Don Armstrong: Um, I think you know, I I'm not big on oversized wheels uh in the back, but whatever the case may be.
• 8:16
  Don Armstrong: 86 86.
• 8:18
  Jeff Dziekan: Okay, I'm gonna go 12 grand again.
• 8:20
  Mike Marrs: Valour interior?
• 8:21
  Mike Marrs: Yep.
• 8:22
  Jeff Dziekan: I could do velour.
• 8:25
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm wearing velour right now.
• 8:27
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Mike Marrs: Underwear one at 17 from the lusk family.
• 8:34
  Don Armstrong: Anybody else?
• 8:37
  Mike Marrs: Uh I think they're in shock on the 41 caddy things.
• 8:42
  Don Armstrong: Probably so this car sold for 15,000 225.
• 8:47
  Don Armstrong: See, now I would do that.
• 8:48
  Don Armstrong: I would do that.
• 8:50
  Don Armstrong: The problem is, the problem is, and here's my problem.
• 8:53
  Don Armstrong: I back in the day, I bought a 1957 Chevrolet pickup truck, had lots of modifications on it.
• 9:01
  Don Armstrong: It was a rust bucket.
• 9:02
  Don Armstrong: I mean, it was rusting through in the cab, but it wasn't perfect.
• 9:05
  Don Armstrong: It was okay.
• 9:06
  Don Armstrong: It was turd brown, and uh I didn't really care about that.
• 9:10
  Don Armstrong: Had an extra gas tank in it.
• 9:12
  Don Armstrong: I didn't care about that, had an air conditioning uh system hanging underneath the dashboard.
• 9:16
  Don Armstrong: I didn't care about any of that, I was just looking for an extra ride.
• 9:20
  Don Armstrong: But I wound up spending more time getting the thing and keeping it running on the road because I was working on the Corvette at the time.
• 9:28
  Don Armstrong: So that was something that you got to keep in mind when you get one of these cars.
• 9:32
  Don Armstrong: All right, next up, the number four car is uh 2005.
• 9:36
  Don Armstrong: Did you oh you sold it for seven?
• 9:38
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, you're a 20, but never mind.
• 9:39
  Don Armstrong: Go ahead.
• 9:40
  Don Armstrong: Uh, this is a 2005 Chevrolet SSR.
• 9:45
  Don Armstrong: And in 2005, when this came came out, we thought, wow, that is really cool.
• 9:50
  Don Armstrong: And they had to bring out tooling that they used on the 1950s pickup trucks to make those fenders and those curves in it, which I thought was different.
• 10:01
  Don Armstrong: Maybe a dollar.
• 10:03
  Don Armstrong: Once I drove it, it uh was unimpressive.
• 10:07
  Don Armstrong: Um, the it has a hardtop convertible roof that folds down into behind the seat.
• 10:15
  Don Armstrong: I'll give you 19 for it, and that's too much.
• 10:18
  Jeff Dziekan: 19.
• 10:18
  Don Armstrong: I have a friend of mine that has one.
• 10:20
  Don Armstrong: Uh and uh good luck on that.
• 10:23
  Don Armstrong: The engine is weak, it has no power whatsoever, but it looks cool.
• 10:28
  Don Armstrong: This shows that Indy 500.
• 10:30
  Don Armstrong: Did it ever paste the Indy 500?
• 10:32
  Don Armstrong: I don't know.
• 10:33
  Mike Marrs: Uh, I think it did with the logos.
• 10:35
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 10:35
  Don Armstrong: Uh anyway, how much did it sell for?
• 10:38
  Mike Marrs: We got one at 34,000.
• 10:40
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, Mr.
• 10:40
  Mike Marrs: Lusk, and then uh Mr.
• 10:42
  Mike Marrs: Ainsley apparently is not very impressed.
• 10:45
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, you know, I'm kind of leaning towards David there, but I said 19, and that's a little high.
• 10:50
  Jeff Dziekan: Mr.
• 10:50
  Mike Marrs: uh Heitzman, where did Jeff go?
• 10:52
  unknown: 12.
• 10:54
  Don Armstrong: Let me let me just say this.
• 10:55
  Don Armstrong: It sold for 42,000.
• 10:59
  Don Armstrong: Lord.
• 11:00
  Don Armstrong: All I can think of is if this is a paced truck, uh, it must be an original and it must be low miles, and it must be worth forty-two thousand dollars.
• 11:11
  Jeff Dziekan: No, thank you.
• 11:12
  Don Armstrong: I wouldn't pay anywhere near that.
• 11:14
  Don Armstrong: Don't like the color.
• 11:16
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it's not for me.
• 11:17
  Don Armstrong: All right, next up.
• 11:20
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, okay.
• 11:21
  Don Armstrong: Next up, a 1966 Ford Bronco.
• 11:25
  Don Armstrong: Oh boy.
• 11:26
  Don Armstrong: Now you know, they Ford didn't spend a lot of money on this thing when they built it.
• 11:36
  Don Armstrong: It was to compete against the Jeep Wrangler.
• 11:38
  Don Armstrong: And this is a 66 model.
• 11:40
  Don Armstrong: I know that they're hot right now with the ones that are left that are decent.
• 11:45
  Don Armstrong: Um, this I think has had a complete restoration, if that's any tip-off into how much that this car sold for.
• 11:52
  Jeff Dziekan: I opened my wallet, a moth flew out of it, and I'm gonna go 50 grand.
• 11:56
  Jeff Dziekan: 50,000.
• 11:58
  Jeff Dziekan: Anybody else?
• 11:59
  Mike Marrs: Mr.
• 12:00
  Mike Marrs: Lus thinks a little bit more of it.
• 12:01
  Mike Marrs: He's up at 78.
• 12:03
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, but I also I I didn't know they were uh what spit it out, Mike.
• 12:12
  Mike Marrs: Well, I had something pop up on blocked in my deal, and I couldn't see what I was looking for, Mr.
• 12:16
  Mike Marrs: Heitzman there.
• 12:17
  Jeff Dziekan: Nine grand per month.
• 12:19
  Mike Marrs: But there's also a company that's building these brands.
• 12:21
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, I know.
• 12:21
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:22
  Don Armstrong: I know, I know they are, and uh they charge an arm and a leg.
• 12:26
  Don Armstrong: And guess what?
• 12:26
  Don Armstrong: This one sold for the arm and two legs at$141,750.
• 12:33
  Don Armstrong: The Lux family and I are gonna put our money together and we'll go to buy it.
• 12:36
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, I wouldn't.
• 12:37
  Don Armstrong: I wouldn't either.
• 12:38
  Don Armstrong: Uh okay, next up, a 1968 Mercury Cougar.
• 12:42
  Don Armstrong: You know, I just learned recently that this is not a redo of the Ford Mustang in a Mercury.
• 12:48
  Don Armstrong: No, no, it's a separate car.
• 12:50
  Don Armstrong: It's it's a completely separate car, and you can't interchange the parts.
• 12:54
  Jeff Dziekan: I think they tried in the beginning.
• 12:55
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, they tried to do that, but I a friend of mine had a cougar, loved that car.
• 13:00
  Don Armstrong: It's a big car, it's a it's a sports car.
• 13:02
  Don Armstrong: If you put it you put it next to a Mustang and it's big, it had a 390 in it.
• 13:07
  Don Armstrong: Oh my god.
• 13:08
  Don Armstrong: And so what do you have a high school kid driving it?
• 13:10
  Don Armstrong: So I think that you might be interested in this.
• 13:12
  Don Armstrong: I would love that car.
• 13:13
  Don Armstrong: Okay, so 68 Mercury Cougar, how much did it sell for?
• 13:16
  Don Armstrong: Uh, I'm gonna say 32 grand.
• 13:18
  Don Armstrong: 32.
• 13:19
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 13:20
  Don Armstrong: Anybody else?
• 13:21
  Don Armstrong: The Lusk family says David says, how much?
• 13:25
  Mike Marrs: 21,000.
• 13:27
  unknown: 20.
• 13:28
  Don Armstrong: He said what?
• 13:28
  Don Armstrong: 21.
• 13:29
  Don Armstrong: 21, yeah.
• 13:29
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Mike Marrs: And then uh Mr.
• 13:32
  Mike Marrs: Aisley is at 25.
• 13:35
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 13:35
  Mike Marrs: Heitzman's bumping up it to 31.
• 13:39
  Mike Marrs: Mr.
• 13:40
  Mike Marrs: Skelton, 22.9.
• 13:43
  Don Armstrong: Well, guess what?
• 13:44
  Don Armstrong: I think George may win this because it sold for 20,169.
• 13:48
  Don Armstrong: Oh, I'd buy it.
• 13:48
  Don Armstrong: Now that would be a car to buy.
• 13:50
  Don Armstrong: It would.
• 13:50
  Mike Marrs: And look at the uh compared to what the Mustangs are running, uh, I would definitely think that's a buyer.
• 13:55
  Jeff Dziekan: Yep, the door seals look good on it.
• 13:56
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, door seals, and you look at the radiator.
• 13:58
  Jeff Dziekan: That's a that's not a factory radiator.
• 14:00
  Jeff Dziekan: No, it's a good idea.
• 14:00
  Jeff Dziekan: So it's got some work.
• 14:01
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it's got engine work on it.
• 14:03
  Don Armstrong: It's got, yeah, look at the wheels look pretty, pretty original.
• 14:07
  Don Armstrong: It's a driver, it looks like that's a nice car.
• 14:09
  Mike Marrs: Nice car.
• 14:10
  Don Armstrong: Red's a little bright, but it's okay.
• 14:11
  Don Armstrong: We'll do that.
• 14:13

  Jeff Dziekan: But if you're at a local track, support your local track.
• 20:01
  Jeff Dziekan: Get out there and get some mud slung on you or you know, smell the fumes.

• 20:09
  Don Armstrong: Thank you very much.
• 20:10
  Don Armstrong: All right, uh, time now for this week in auto history, Mr.
• 20:13
  Don Armstrong: Mars.
• 20:14
  Don Armstrong: Let it rip.
• 20:14
  Don Armstrong: Uh-oh.
• 20:15
  Don Armstrong: Yes, sir.
• 20:16
  Mike Marrs: We've got a few things that we're going to run through right quick here on uh related to this holiday week that's coming up.
• 20:22
  Mike Marrs: And on in 1894, inventor Elwood Haynes successfully tested his gasoline-powered vehicle up in Indiana.
• 20:30
  Don Armstrong: Elwood, part of the Blues brothers.
• 20:32
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 20:33
  Mike Marrs: This is the problem.
• 20:34
  Mike Marrs: This is why he went to jail.
• 20:36
  Mike Marrs: So the uh Haynes Appleson, who was a guy that helped him with it, became one of the earliest successful American-built gasoline cars.
• 20:43
  Mike Marrs: In fact, because of history back the way records were kept back in the early 1800s, there's a lot of people think this may actually be the first uh true automobile in America.
• 20:55
  Mike Marrs: But there was a lot of them coming out, so they're still up to debate.
• 20:57
  Mike Marrs: But he was one of the earliest for sure.
• 20:59
  Jeff Dziekan: See, it's the earliest donk, that's for sure.
• 21:02
  Mike Marrs: Yes, it is.
• 21:04
  Mike Marrs: Then um in 1908, the great New York to Paris race.
• 21:08
  Mike Marrs: Now, I thought this was interesting because it literally goes from New York to Paris.
• 21:13
  Mike Marrs: I mean, you had to go across the country, you had to go across the oceans.
• 21:17
  Don Armstrong: There we go, walking on water again.
• 21:19
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:20
  Mike Marrs: So it's 22,000 miles across three continents.
• 21:23
  Mike Marrs: Uh and this again was back in 1908.
• 21:26
  Mike Marrs: And the Thomas Flyer was declared the winner after uh going over some of the harshest roads uh imaginable.
• 21:32
  Mike Marrs: And of course, this was a worldwide got the worldwide attention from this because it did go halfway around the world.
• 21:38
  Don Armstrong: How did they ford the ocean?
• 21:40
  Mike Marrs: Put them on boats, put them on ships, literally.
• 21:43
  Mike Marrs: They had big balloon tires on them, and they kind of paddled paddle tires across there.
• 21:47
  Mike Marrs: But anyway, so also in 1914, Mercedes dominated the French Grand Prix.
• 21:55
  Mike Marrs: Now, it was a clean sweep by it because and it really wanted Mercedes went into it.
• 22:00
  Mike Marrs: To show their advanced engineering, including four-wheel brakes, not just two wheels, but four-wheel brakes, had some aerodynamic design that you can see in these pictures here, and uh their the reliability that they were building into it.
• 22:13
  Mike Marrs: So it demonstrated how racing could accelerate technology because a lot of other companies took the technology they found at this race and incorporated it into other uh aspects of their vehicles.
• 22:23
  Mike Marrs: Then in 1966, Irv Gordon purchased his legendary Volvo.
• 22:30
  Mike Marrs: Now you may not know about old Irv, but he bought a brand new Volvo P1800 in 1966.
• 22:38
  Mike Marrs: Now, it was just a plane car, obviously, uh, but he put three million miles on that car, got a Guinness World Book of Record on it, and uh that's now in uh the museum, a Volvo Museum, and that is the vehicle with three million miles on it by one person driving one car.
• 23:00
  Mike Marrs: He got his use out of that one.
• 23:02
  Don Armstrong: I saw the story on that.
• 23:03
  Don Armstrong: That was good.
• 23:04
  Mike Marrs: Then in 1979, see if you know this one, the first Auto Shack store opened in Forest City, Arkansas.
• 23:12
  Mike Marrs: Very modest at the time, but then that was the beginning of AutoZone.
• 23:16
  Mike Marrs: And I had no idea.
• 23:17
  Mike Marrs: I just thought AutoZone was always Auto Zone.
• 23:19
  Mike Marrs: I did too.
• 23:20
  Mike Marrs: But uh, it was truly an Auto Shack, I guess, comparable to uh Radio Shack or whatever it was at the time.
• 23:26
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, and of course it became a big national chain of vehicles.
• 23:30
  Mike Marrs: That was just a few of the things we found interesting in auto history this week.
• 23:34
  Don Armstrong: Perfect, very interesting in auto history.
• 23:38
  Don Armstrong: Fatal collision involving a Tesla sedan.
• 23:40
  Don Armstrong: You may have heard this on the news under federal investigation.
• 23:44
  Don Armstrong: After the electric vehicle slammed into a house here in Houston, killing a woman inside.
• 23:49
  Don Armstrong: NHTSA said June 22nd, it has opened a special crash investigation into that June 19th incident.
• 23:55
  Don Armstrong: Agency, which confirmed the probe in an email statement, didn't offer any additional details.
• 24:01
  Don Armstrong: I'm sure that we'll figure it all out.
• 24:03
  Don Armstrong: Uh, and we'll find out about it as well.
• 24:06
  Don Armstrong: So, yeah, just a horrible accident.
• 24:09
  Don Armstrong: Uh, Nissan CEO, Ivan Espinoza, slogged through a topsy turvy annual shareholders meeting, fending off multiple floor motions to remove him as chairman of the gathering, a no-confidence vote, and get this another proposal to appoint former chairman Carlos Gosen to the Japanese carmakers board.
• 24:31
  Don Armstrong: Do that, bring him back.
• 24:35
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, my God, you've got to be kidding.
• 24:37
  Don Armstrong: Shareholders also rejected the company back nominee for director, handing management a rare rebuke amid investor concerns about the independence of the Nissan Motor Company.
• 24:48
  Don Armstrong: What an absolute mess that company continues to be.
• 24:52
  Don Armstrong: It's a shame.
• 24:53
  Don Armstrong: You know, these sold a billion cars.
• 24:57
  Don Armstrong: Where did it go wrong?
• 24:58
  Don Armstrong: Carlos, thank you, Carlos, who stole billions of dollars from him.
• 25:03
  Don Armstrong: That was the first thing.
• 25:09
  Don Armstrong: We're getting out of time here.
• 25:11
  Don Armstrong: I want to make sure that I get the stories in that I wanted to get in.
• 25:14
  Don Armstrong: Um, it's too long.
• 25:17
  Don Armstrong: We don't care about that.
• 25:20
  Don Armstrong: Um, let's do this one.
• 25:22
  Don Armstrong: Toyota, which introduced many consumers to the concept with the Prius, has made its two most popular U.S.
• 25:29
  Don Armstrong: models hybrid only.
• 25:30
  Don Armstrong: The Camry switched for the 2025 model year and the RAM 4 followed suit for 2026.
• 25:35
  Don Armstrong: The hot selling Ford Maverick Compact pickup offers a hybrid, as does Honda's CRV crossover.
• 25:41
  Don Armstrong: TVs are still expected to gain share in the coming years, just not as quickly as the hybrids.
• 25:47
  Don Armstrong: And get this Chevy is resuscitating its Heartbeat of America campaign in honor of the country's upcoming 250th anniversary, and it's incorporating the sound of real heartbeats to help the ads hit home.
• 26:01
  Don Armstrong: The brand modernized its renowned advertising campaign from the 1980s and 90s with the Red Clay Strays, a rock band from Alabama, taking over vocals from the late Motown legend Aretha Franklin.
• 26:14
  Don Armstrong: The brand filmed the commercial here in Texas and in Maine using a Bolt, a Trax, an Equinox, Traverse, Silverado, and other nameplates.
• 26:24
  Don Armstrong: So be on the lookout.
• 26:25
  Don Armstrong: But they brought the eye of like a rock was back in certain uh advertising too.
• 26:29
  Don Armstrong: Yes.
• 26:30
