A rip-snorting 12-part blast through the history of the automobile.  Decade by decade, the Car-Chums pick their choice moments of development, innovation and dead ends. Tony and his automotive journalist chum Mike also tell their personal tales from behind the wheel (or tiller) and choose a standout product from each period.   

This episode: where it all started.  Maybe a little bit before, but not too much horse.
