Born into the GM world through his family’s dealership, Leonard Boschman grew up with gasoline in his veins and a front‑row seat to the kind of cars that spark lifelong obsession. In this episode, he shares the story of the very first car he ever bought, the small‑town Canadian life he still calls home, and the surprising cost differences he and Matt compare between Canada and the U.S.

Leonard opens up about the ’71 Chevelle that slipped through his fingers, the moment he fell headfirst into rat rod culture, and the ever‑changing lineup of favorites in his fleet—each one chosen depending on the kind of day he wants to have. From past builds that earned trophies and long‑haul “Furthest Driven” awards to the Chevy truck he’s crafting for the High Class Trash Invitational, Leonard’s approach is simple: build something he’s never seen before, and build it in a way that brings joy not just to himself, but to everyone who sees it.

This episode is a celebration of creativity, community, and the kind of builder who keeps hot‑rodding alive by doing it his own way.
