The Ford Motor Company had trouble in the early 1980s. Its trucks were selling well, but its line of cars was unpopular and had a terrible reputation. The company lost $3.3 billion from 1980 through 1982. As the losses piled up, Ford's engineers were working feverishly to redesign their line of mid-size cars. Ford turned out a redesigned Thunderbird and Tempo and managed a profitable year. And on this day in 1985, Ford introduced the Taurus, the product of years of engineering. The distinc...

A little discussion about a creation, that was much more than a Rolling Revolution. www.nodrivinggloves.com

We stray off cars for a topic and ask you for feedback on the show. We reflect on the past and even discuss some of our regrets about the show and the last year. While not cars it is a raw episode, that Derek suggested I edit very little to not impact ANY of the messages discussed.

In the bustling city of Fremont, California, on a momentous Monday, December 18, 1984, the automotive world witnessed the joyous spectacle of the first car produced by the groundbreaking collaboration between Toyota and General Motors at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI). The air was filled with cheers, and toasts were raised with non-alcoholic cider as the four-door subcompact, the Chevrolet Nova, gracefully rolled off the assembly line, signaling the dawn of a new era in automotive p...

So much of automotive history is the passing of things and people. On this day the last Plymouth Superbird was made, Sir George Cayley, the father of aerodynamics passed, the Silver Bridge that joined Point Pleasant West Va, and Gallipolis, Ohio collapsed, on the bright side Charles Duryea was born! I am going to focus on a death that I am torn about. One hand says it shouldn’t have happened as it did, the other understands the thinking behind it. Show Artwork is Peter Gregg during the 1968 Dar...

On a dark desert highway, Oh wait that is a different hotel, this one is East of Omaha and the date is December 14, 1947. But in that little hotel, a huge idea was born. www.nodrivinggloves.com #cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ithappenedtoday #december14 #nascar #bigbill #daytona #daytonabeach

The End of an Era: Farewell to the Two-Seat Thunderbird On this day, December 13, 1957, automotive enthusiasts bid farewell to an iconic chapter in American automotive history—the two-seat Ford Thunderbird. As production came to a close on that fateful day, it marked the end of an era that had captivated the hearts of drivers across the nation. During its brief but impactful run, the two-seat Thunderbird had major implications on the automotive landscape. Introduced in 1955 as Ford's res...

A visionary and trailblazer in the early 20th-century motorcycle industry, William G. Henderson left an indelible mark with his contributions as the co-founder of Henderson Motorcycles and later as the founder of Ace Motor Corporation. Born in 1886, in Scottland, Henderson's fascination with mechanical engineering manifested at an early age. His passion for innovation and machinery set the stage for a remarkable career that would shape the landscape of American motorcycles. In 1911, Hende...

Rock and Cars collided On This Day, taking a potentially great band away, and leaving others in great pain emotionally and physically (not mentioned in the episode the two teenagers in the other car both were paralyzed from this incident) www.nodrivingloves.com #cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ithappenedtoday #december8 #motleycrue #r...

Sit right back and be agas at the Tire"d" story of John Boyd. Honestly we didn't mean to do back-to-back airbag stories, but you can't dictate history.

We cover TWO things that happened on this day, December 6

Long Episode Tuesday and we take the gloves off. We speak our minds about the closed minds in car culture that are killing the hobby. It isn't a lack of interest from the new generation that is killing car culture. The lack of embracing new thinking, styles, and ideas is what will kill the collector car hobby. This is a prelude to a live stream coming in January 2024 to really dive into the topic. www.nodrivinggloves.com

Clarion changed the world on this day (maybe, we could be a month early). Either way, you gotta love Clarion for what they did or then again you might resent them. www.nodrivingloves.com #cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ithappenedtoday #december4 #clarion #electronics #carstereo
