Classic Auto Mall SHOW

Airdate: November 4, 2026

Stewart welcomes Rob Ida, Master coach builder, designer, and craftsman, whose family's automotive history reaches back to Tucker Motors in 1948 and the Willys Corporation. Rob discusses his lifelong passion—and obsession—for designing and building unique, innovative, exceptionally crafted automobiles.

Among his remarkable projects is the reimagining and restoration of the legendary General Motors Futurliner, scheduled to appear at the upcoming Retromobile show in New York City, November 19–22, 2026. Originally introduced at the 1939 New York World's Fair, the Futurliner was a 12 bus-like caravan designed for GM's famed Parade of Progress, which toured America from 1939 to 1941 before being revived and updated following World War II, around 1953.  Each vehicle had opening sides with displays of innovations being designed or envisioned by GM.  He also sketched out plans for a "Parade of Preservation" when driving the Futurliner from his shop in Morganville, NJ to the Jacob Javits Center in New York for Retromobile.

Rob also turns his camera around to take viewers inside his shop, offering a fascinating look at completed and ongoing projects, including a Futurliner, his spectacular Black Cat bubble-top Jaguar, a 1940 Willys pickup, a 1932 Ford roadster, and an extraordinary new Tucker being constructed from original, full-scale, hand-carved wooden blocks.

Keith Martin joins for the last segment recanting his most recent blogs about what Concours d' Elegance should and should not do and his blunt opinion of drivers who drive high performance cars like they are on a race track rather than a public road.

Stewart welcomes Miles Collier, former racing driver and Founder of the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida, for a fascinating discussion about the preservation of automotive history and the philosophy behind one of the world's notable automotive collections.

Collier discusses the passion that inspired the creation of the museum and its commitment to preserving, restoring, and studying historically significant automobiles. He explains what distinguishes Revs from traditional automobile museums, exploring the relationship between automobiles as physical objects and as machines designed for motion. The conversation also examines the sometimes-conflicting priorities of collecting: preservation, restoration and authenticity, including the differences between original vehicles and replicas.

The discussion turns to the Institute's transition to public charity status owned and operated by a fiduciary Board of Trustees structure and the challenges of balancing financial resources, charitable support, and the responsibilities of maintaining an important automotive collection. Collier also discusses the value of historical archives, digitizing materials for remote access and research and the evolving role of technology, including artificial intelligence, in preserving automotive knowledge for future generations.

Throughout the program, Stewart and Collier touch on vintage racing, automotive patina, pre-World War II collecting, and celebrated marques and vehicles that help define the history of the automobile.

Later in the program, Keith Martin of "Sports Car Market" magazine joins Stewart to explain why he considers the Lotus Elise an "Alfa alternative" plus Stewart, Steve, and J. R. offer their usual look at inbound and outbound classics at Classic Auto Mall, along with assorted observations and occasionally unrelated topics.

Stewart welcomes Ford Heacock, Chairman of the Automotive Racing Club of Florida, for a fascinating look at the history of one of America's most celebrated sports car racing venues, Sebring International Raceway.

With decades of involvement at Sebring, Heacock recalls the early days of sports car racing in Central Florida and the ambitious idea of transforming an abandoned World War II military training base, Hendricks Army Airfield, into a permanent road racing circuit comparable to Watkins Glen or Road America. He pays tribute to Alec and Mary Ullman, whose pioneering efforts helped establish Sebring as an international motorsports destination.

Often called "Little Le Mans," Sebring developed its own remarkable racing heritage. Heacock recounts early conflicts with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), the creation of the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring, and the influence of European FIA regulations. He shares the unlikely tortoise-and-hare story of a Crosley Hotshot victory, illustrating how endurance racing could reward reliability over outright speed.

The conversation also explores the darker side of motorsports history, including the devastating 1955 Le Mans disaster that threatened the future of automobile racing. On a lighter note, Heacock recalls an entertaining story involving legendary driver Stirling Moss and his desire for a Coca-Cola in the middle of a race.

Later in the program, Keith Martin of "Sports Car Market" joins Stewart to recount his 2,000-mile adventure in an Alfa Romeo Spider. He also discusses driver awareness, highway safety, and his appreciation and respect for AAA.

Stewart welcomes Prescott Kelly, collector, Porsche enthusiast, journalist and Harvard MBA whose career has included advertising, marketing, and publishing. Prescott talks about his early career, his lifelong appreciation for all types of automobiles, and the marque that became his particular passion: Porsche. With so many models entering the conversation, this episode could almost be called “Porsche by the Numbers.” Prescott also shares another side of his background, including his time as a music promoter in Atlanta and Birmingham and his interest in R&B and blues.

Prescott recalls his introduction to the Porsche Club of America, the purchase of his first Porsche, and the experiences that followed. The conversation ranges from classic and competition Porsches to Jaguars, Corvettes, supercars, hypercars, and race cars. He discusses the experience of “driving in anger,” the Bob Bondurant Racing School, Bridgehampton, Callaway, and some thoughts about alternative fuels and the sometimes eye-opening cost of servicing specialty automobiles.

Among the many Porsche numbers discussed are the 356, 718, 930, 935, 956, 964 and 997.2, along with the Speedster and 911 ST. Prescott also discusses the rare 1984 Porsche 911 SC/RS, with only 21 built. Away from Porsche, the conversation touches on the Jaguar XKE, Tri-Five Chevrolet Bel Air, Packard, Corvette, Mercedes, and Audi Q5 Premium.

Classic Auto Mall Show #261 — Airdate 09-16-26

Stewart greets Chuck Queener, graphic artist, illustrator and "car guy," who discusses his earliest years near New York City drawing Mickey Mouse, Lady and the Tramp and other Disney characters, then moving on to birds and people before finding his first "sweet spot"—cars, especially RACE CARS.

His story includes his father playing in the Benny Goodman orchestra and much time spent with his mother, who saved a lot of his early work. Also included is his later time in Chicago and Miami and his service in the U.S. Air Force, with stops in Anchorage, Alaska, and eventually March Field in Riverside, California, where he wanted to soak up the sun and car culture. His automotive-art career connects with Peter Brock, ArtCenter College of Design and numerous automotive publications and organizations.

A particularly interesting story involves his purchase of a Ferrari formerly owned by singer Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young for a mere $3,000. The purchase became an adventure, buying it in The Hamptons and driving the Ferrari cross-country back to California. It's a fascinating life, with much of Queener's work available to see on his website and on the CAM YouTube show.
