Horsepower Heritage

Ed Justice, Jr. is a longtime motorsport photographer whose family has been involved in racing for over seventy years.

Their story begins in the midwest before World War II where Ed's father and two uncles, Zeke and Gus, built a midget racer. Eventually they moved to Southern California where they built race cars for Frank Kurtis of Kurtis-Kraft and soon became the entrepreneurs behind the Justice Brothers brand of oil additives, lubricants and other products.

Justice Brothers  sponsored the winning car at the 1950 Indy 500 and the company's red, white and blue logo has been worn by countless entries in racing ever since that time.

In this episode, Ed and Maurice talk about that remarkable family history as well as Ed's photo career, his reflections on Indy, his relationship with legends like A. J. Foyt, and other great stories.

After a long and successful career as a heavy equipment manufacturer and serial entrepreneur, car enthusiast David Brown set out to create something different: he took all the things he loves about classic automobiles and combined them with modern comfort, safety and reliability. The result was a car called the Speedback GT. 

Following this ethos, David Brown then approached the classic Mini in the same way. They call it the "Mini Remastered": All the genius of Alec Issigonis' original design but painstakingly handcrafted for today.

In this episode Maurice talks with Michelle Gay of David Brown Automotive and Ryan Watson of Bespoke Imports Group, which is now bringing the cars to North America.

The "Golden Age of Auto Racing" began after World War II and lasted until the early Seventies. It's a period that is frequently romanticized.

 But that thin veneer was shattered on the afternoon of June 11, 1955, when a catastrophic collision caused the deaths of Mercedes-Benz driver Pierre Levegh and at least 83 spectators. Here's the story of that terrible day and its aftermath.

In the late 1940s, a maverick named Bill Devin caught the racing bug and soon decided he could build his own world-class sports car using the new miracle material of fiberglass. By 1955 the Devin became a popular choice for club racing and custom builds. Now the Devin legacy has been passed on to Kevin Callahan, a Pennsylvania enthusiast who is breathing new life into this classic American sports car. Kevin talks with Maurice about the fascinating past and promising future of the brand.

Hot rods, belly tank racers, and antique Indy cars! Bobby Green is the mastermind behind a cottage industry blending historic preservation, nostalgia and vintage American iron.

He established Old Crow Speed Shop almost twenty years ago in Burbank, California in order to have a sort of clubhouse for his fellow car enthusiasts, while simultaneously building his core business, 1933 Group- a collection of eleven unique restaurants and bars that pay tribute to early 20th Century Los Angeles.

This episode is a fascinating tale that ties together the early years of car culture, imaginative enterprise and Americana.
