Classic Cars and Classic Memories (The Interviews)

In this Episode we continue our discussion on the Hot Rodding Topics and show you the Interviews Ken collected during his week end at the show.Ken spent the weekend at the legendary Street Machine Nationals—an annual event held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

As lifelong classic car enthusiasts, Ken and I share a deep affection for the timeless beauty of yesteryear. But as the years go by, the definition of a “classic” keeps evolving. It’s no longer just about Grandpa’s ’32 Deuce Coupe, your Uncle’s ’65 Mustang, or Dad’s ’71 442.

Today’s classic car scene is a vibrant panorama—from the golden age of Hot Rods to the rise of modern-day "Rice Rockets." The hobby has grown beyond nostalgia—it's become a dynamic tribute to automotive innovation across generations.

In tonight’s episode, Ken takes us inside the world of classics and customs—where Hot Rods came from, where they’re heading, and what’s fueling the passion behind it all.
