This week we catch up on some of the Q&A questions/topics that I haven’t had a chance to get to. There’s some good ones!

A fantastic story sent through by Jim Krom about his late mother’s Corvette-and her success at the racetrack! Original story on ironandsteele.com

Another great story written by Dale Matthews from his book, “Every Deal’s Different.” In this one, the only thing between him and a 5k original mile ‘67 Mustang is a tiny little grey poodle….

A story sent in by listener Ryan Gilmore about an epic 5200 mile road trip chock-full of hot rod parts-pickin’ along the way. Original story and photos on ironandsteele.com

No matter what anyone tells you, it’s always at least a *little* bit about the money when it comes to old cars.

Two GREAT stories from Dale Matthews, a lifetime classic car dealer and fantastic story teller.

A couple of great stories sent in by Gram Spina and Brian Nunez, both offering a little insight into the many elements that make up our hot rod hobby.

A quirky story sent in by Niamh Smith about her adventures in an unusual little car with an equally unusual name!

Just a rant. Love old cars? Don’t be a dick!

Another GREAT listener story sent in by Brian Schaub! In this episode Brian takes us along on a hell-ride of a journey from Phoenix to Bonneville and back in 110 degree heat in an open-top roadster!

Another great story from Dale Matthews’ book, “Every Deal’s Different.” This is the tale of a dusty old Lincoln and it’s ties to a 1930’s murder mystery.

Some cars just flat out shit and GET. This 1955 Chevy, powered by a built LS2 is one of those cars. It is violent. It is pure violence.

Just a quickie 40-minute Q&A!

Another great story written by Dale Matthews, a classic car dealer, fantastic story teller, and all around great guy. This is the tale of a guy that looked like he couldn’t afford lunch, but in actuality could buy whatever he wanted. And for years he did just that, from Dale Matthews. Give it a listen!!!

I couldn’t help but notice this trend of massive asking prices on just average Model A Fords. Who’s actually buying these things?

Anyone involved in the classic car scene in the PNW in any way shape or form is familiar with the name Dale Matthews. Over the last several decades, Dale has sold thousands of cars. And out of all those cars, “the one,” is a 1936 Ford Roadster named Rodney. This is its story.
