Segments 1-4: Brian Baker, director of the Leland Chapter of the Society of Automotive Historians, joins us to talk about a variety of projects - his, mine and ours. Brian, a former designer for GM, manages the Concept Vehicle of the Year competition for our Automotive Heritage Awards. And, he created an amazing travel project that includes more than a dozen “bucket-list” experiences for lovers of automobiles, architecture and aviation called A3 VIP Adventures. See details for this one www.a3vipadventures.com.

Then we spend time on the SAH and efforts to share the love of automotive culture with the generations following us, including plans developed by the Automotive Heritage Foundation with which we are both involved.

Segments 5-6: We round out the program talking with Erik Barnlund from Bloomington, Illinois who enjoys a hot niche in the collector car business. Erik and his team at Maxlider Brothers buy, sell, recreate, restore and generally immerse themselves in the world of old Ford Broncos. We met him at the Autorama show in Detroit recently where he showed two of his coolest Bronco recreations.
