    Car Design and Culture From the 1960s to 2000s

    Tim and Kyle discuss automotive design from 1960 to the modern era. This episode covers key design trends and history in the decades from the decades between the end of tail fins and the rise of the SUV. From 1950s leftovers to the 1970s “great Brougham epoch” to 1990s trends like streamlining and retro style, this is a far-ranging discussion. Both hosts share their opinions about design trends that have shaped the automobile over the last seven decades.

    Car Design and Car Culture From 1900 Through The 1950s

    Tim and Kyle discuss automotive design from the era of the horseless carriage to the era of tail fins. This episode covers key design trends and history in the decades from 1900 to 1959. From the early days when carriage builders made the switch to car bodies, automotive design evolved from a side concern subordinate to engineering into a key factor in all model launches. All of this occurred amid changing technology, culture, and the centrality of automobiles in American life. While we go on a few tech-related tangents, this remains a deep dive into the first half-century of automotive styling.

    Buying Classic Cars – Different Eras, Problems, and Tech!

    Tim and Kyle talk about buying cool/collectible cars from the classic (pre-1980), RADwood (1980-1999), and modern eras. Cars built prior to 1980 are a different world, and their unique age, technology, and histories mean even two examples of the same model can be vastly different. Kyle recounts bad experiences from buying a rolling wreck of a 1950s Jaguar, and Tim recalls the pitfalls of letting a 13 year-old trailer an old Volkswagen Beetle back to the house. Corrosion, originality, access to parts and knowledge, and robust pre-purchase inspections are key factors to ensure success. “RADwood” cars of the 80s and 90s offer the conveniences of modern systems and performance, but the huge range of dead-end engine electronics, early two-stage paint treatments, abundance of perishable plastic trim, and aging computers demand a careful inspection and model-specific research to match. We end with modern cars, which are easy to buy! Go factory certified pre-owned, get an AAA extended warranty, or score a late model still under factory warranty.

    Don’t Buy A Car Before You Ask These Questions!

    Tim and Kyle share the top questions you must ask before buying your next classic or collectible car. Don’t get fooled by aftermarket paint or Bondo.

What would we buy? That’s the second question, and today, we’re talking post-1990 imports. Mercedes S-Class coupes, Lancer Evos, WRX STIs, and Smart Cars ahead.
