• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: And uh there's a new little twist to the show this year, and you're gonna have a kids' car show.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: So give us a little preview of that.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: How does that work?
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_02: Who's invited, and uh what can we expect?
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_04: Well, um, as you know, my son Chase had his first child, and so um, you know, we have a one-year, one-year-old little grandson running around, and and we have lots lots of grandkids.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_04: Dan's got two five, six, seven.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_04: We have a lot of kids.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_04: The newest one is um the newest one is really and he loves cars because Chase and his wife they race and of course so fan and I.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_04: And I thought, why not why not get kids involved so that Nepal's could bring their grandsons or daughters out and teach them about cars and teach them how to respect cars and um you know, all kids love to touch things, but I think in the car world, we always brought chase up where you didn't touch not touching things.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_04: You don't touch cars.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_04: You can look and they're pretty, but just don't touch 'em.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_04: And um, but I wanted this to be a fun little experience and and I don't know if we'll do it every time, but maybe just at like certain times like Easter and Christmas when it's a you know, a big kid event.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_04: And uh but I I mainly just wanted to I guess make the kids aware that hey, this is just not like your dad or grandpa's car show, be a kid's car show too.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_04: And we'll have a um area marked off so the kids can bring their whether it's a classic like vintage pedal car or if it's one of the remote control cars that parents have now where they can like drive their kids around.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_04: Um but we will have spot marked off um to kind of contain the kids so they're not out there where the rest of the cars are, they're not scratching anybody else's car, they're not in the way of traffic.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_04: So we really want to make it safe for the kids, but at the same time, we just want them to have a really good fun time and just to make everybody aware that it's not an old person's car show.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_04: It's a guest car show.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, he didn't Stan didn't hear that, did he?

  SPEAKER_03: It's uh the track looks like a W with a lot of extra stuff on it.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_03: So go out there and uh it doesn't say what channel it's on.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_03: I think it's running early in the morning.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_03: Um I know Jason's got it all plugged in for his watchability.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_03: So and then you got one more after that.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after that, which is the seventh.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_03: So they're wrapping up.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_03: Other than that, you've got all kinds of things.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: You've got ice racing going on up in the Great Lakes area, Wisconsin, yeah.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_03: Uh where they put the sailboats, the three-legged, the three ski boats with the sails, all that.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_03: Uh ice fishing's going on.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_03: And I was gonna do a segment on ice fishing and the thickness of the ice before you go out and don't lose cars and all that stuff, but that's those people know what they're doing.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_03: We don't, but they do.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, I don't.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: And I really don't have a big desire to do that.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I've gone ice fishing when I was younger.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_03: Did you freeze to death?
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_03: That's why I don't like the cold now.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: Well, all I can think of is you know, some of these new ice houses, the fishing houses.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: They got floors in there.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_03: They've got vehicles like a uh a big like a uh not a semi-truck, but an SUV or a motorhome, like a Winnipego, smaller version, and they got holes in the floor where they got doors, you just drive up on the ice, drop shh, and you're inside drinking your hot toddy and your shorts and t-shirt and all that.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_03: Ice fishing for the shark or whatever.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, but that's not that's not the nature of ice fishing.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_02: Ice fishing, you have the shanty, and you drill a hole in the ice, and then you drop the line down there, and every once in a while a fish would swim by the hole and miss the bait altogether.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: All right, then this is a car talk show.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_02: It is car talk show.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: All right, uh, Mr.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: Mars has this week auto history.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: I better cue them up.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, please do.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: You do.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: Found lots of things to talk about this week, but there's a few of them that I thought were particularly interesting.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: Such as in 1915, Packard reveals its twin-6 engine.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, they introduced this revolutionary twin-6 engine as the first production V-12 in American automotive history.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: They actually did it in two generations.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: First generation was a 424.2 cubic inch engine, 60 degree V-12, had 88 horsepower on it.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, it had aluminum pistons, had a dual ignition system, and they produced this engine until 1923, and it was actually considered part of the brand.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: It was a twin sixth brand of the vehicles that they were producing at the time.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: But the second generation that I wanted to mention started in 1932.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: It was also a V12, but it was 445 cubic inch with 160 horsepower, but it was a narrow, it was a 67-degree V angle and included hydraulic lifters at this time and would do over 85 miles an hour.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: And an interesting note on that one is that there's a modern company, an existing company today called the Packard Twin 6 that exists and it specialized in researching, manufacturing, and restoring parts for these classic cars.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in 1909, Ford sells its first Model T in Britain.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the car whenever it went across there, arrived, it's fully built, everything was done in America and it was sent across so they could actually ramp up their production over there.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: And the British people found it just like the Americans did.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: It was low cost, it was easy to maintain, and they started selling them quite a bit.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: And it uh part of what got forward into the international automotive mass production was part of the business.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in 1947, the only fully functional Tucker 48 prototype is completed, and it was called the Tin Goose, and it was used for promotions and testing before they actually began the production.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the engine was the 589 cubic inch horizontal opposed six-cylinder engine in the prototype, which later became their flat six once they got into production.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: The transmission was a direct drive torque converters, so there was no reverse gear at the time they actually launched and took this thing out on the road.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: And eventually that became part of the modified cord four-speed manual transmission that the cars became famous for.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: However, the front bumpers were painted wood bumpers because they didn't have time to get the chrome bumpers finished and get them onto the car before they actually took it out on the road for marketing purposes.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: And the doors, they were standard front hinge doors on this prototype, but whenever they got into production, that's when they put in the rear hinge suicide doors.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this also included the famous Cyclops I that had uh right in the center of the hood that turned with the steering wheel, it had a padded dashboard, had a popped-out safety windshield, a lot of features that were very innovative for that particular car.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the original, that car, the original 1947 Tucker 48 prototype, is on permanent display at the William Swaggart Automobile Museum in Huntington, Pennsylvania.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: They only built 51 of these cars, 47 of them survived, and they've documented where the other four were disassembled, parted out, destroyed, and all that stuff.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's a very interesting car uh in automotive history.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: 1966, Lotus unveils the Europa.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this was very unconventional design at the time, helped popularize mid-engine road cars, and expanded the Lotus influence from racing to production sports cars.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: 1973, U.S.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: launched mandatory fuel economy standards.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is important because this was part of the fuel uh shortage that was going on, the gas shortage during the oil crisis, and they pushed the manufacturers to reduce oil consumption or fuel consumption across their fleets.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: They started downsizing, they started using lighter materials and trying to build more efficient engines.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this reshaped all the design priorities that were coming along at the time because it's what killed the muscle cars, and then accelerated their innovation and permanently changed how they approached efficiency.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now, what this did really and truly set the foundation for modern future hybrid and electrical vehicle development, mandated both real and implied to get us to where we are today.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: Finally, in 1980, GM announces the Saturn project.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is whenever they envisioned an all-new small car division to battle Japanese competition.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: It came out a decade later with polymer body panels, had a no-health haggle sales model when you went to the dealership.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it was one of their most ambitious restructurings that they did, but even with factory subs subsidies to make this car sell, it was discontinued in 2009 to the public.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: Not too much.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: That's good.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: This week in automotive history.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_02: They should have kept that discontinued from the day that they put it on a piece of paper.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_03: Well, Polymer Polymer products, you talk about plastic doors.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: That's what it was.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um I thought that we would do a shortened version.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_02: It might not be so short.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Hemings Sold Cars Roundup.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_02: Now, if Jeff Heitzman is watching, we invite him to join us now.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um I did want to say this about uh my dear friend George Skelton that I've known since grade school.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um he had a kidney removed uh this week, and uh he's in recovery now.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_02: And hopefully that uh all of that works out.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um he texted me, we exchanged texts, and uh he said that uh he's not in a lot of pain, it's just gonna take a while.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_02: He's very weak.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: But um it's a big process.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it is.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: So every everybody is invited to join in on this.
• 23:16

• 23:44
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh, let me say this it's not the real thing, okay, but it has real thing parts on it.
