What happens when you mix the vibrant atmosphere of a car show with the rich history of a small Texas town? Find out as we head to Hewlett Park in Granbury for the Lone Star Street Rod Association's 49th annual state run. We sit down with former Granbury mayor and Corvette lover, Nin Hewlett, who shares captivating stories about his cherished 1971 coupe and his well-traveled 2003 model with an astonishing 245,000 miles. You'll also hear about the joys and chaos of bringing grandkids to the show and how Tammy Dooley’s tireless efforts keep Granbury’s spirit alive.
From Kansas to Texas, Nin recounts his journey from working at the GM plant in Kansas to finding his dream home in Granbury. Homesickness led him back to Texas and into an enriching role as director for the material department at the Arlington GM plant. Listen as he shares the collaborative vibe at the Arlington plant and the joy of becoming a vital part of the Granbury community. Whether it’s joining local car clubs or supporting non-profits, you’ll feel the community’s strong sense of unity and shared passion for cars.
If you think car shows are just about cars, think again. This episode brings you the heartwarming story of a new American flag for the Pledge of Allegiance and plans for a 50th-anniversary bash with live music. We also spotlight God’s Garage, a charity that makes a real difference, and round up the latest car recalls affecting major brands. From touching tales of community spirit to laugh-out-loud moments about electric vehicles, this episode has it all. Buckle up for a ride through the world of car enthusiasts, small-town charm, and big-hearted community efforts.
