Henry Ford's first Model T rolled off the assembly line on September 27, 1908, and over fifteen million were built in the following two decades.

But before he changed the world with the Model T, Henry Ford had to fight a bizarre legal battle that threatened the entire automobile industry. This is the nearly-forgotten story of how Ford stood almost alone against powerful forces who tried to hold everything hostage.

Enzo Ferrari built his cars to race and win- but when he lost full control of his company, they slowly began to lose their competition-bred character.

In his final days, Enzo Ferrari ensured the creation of the last car that would ever be built with his personal guidance- the raw, uncompromising, 200 mile per hour F40- and he trusted one man to help him.

This is the story of Enzo's last stand.

The 1980s was hard on the car industry after the oil crises of the prior decade.
American cars struggled, Japanese cars got popular with millions of new owners, and the Germans were finding out that the United States would soon be their most important market.
 It made for some memorable cars that have now become 80s icons.

The 2021 Pebble Beach Concours takes place Sunday, August 15.

If you've never been to the concours, absolutely has to be on your bucket list of car events.
Pebble Beach is the greatest gathering of rare and significant automobiles in the world- a once per year open air museum where you may get to see cars that you'll never have the chance to see in person ever again.

Here's a preview of the featured classes this year and a little history...and because the exact cars in attendance are kept secret until the concours, some predictions on what may show up.

In 1961, Ferrari entered the mid-engine era of Formula One cars. They were a little late to the game but the Tipo 156 vindicated itself in dramatic fashion, with Phil Hill winning the Driver's Championship that year.

But once the 156 was done on the circuit, Ferrari destroyed every chassis… eight in total.
And yet dreams do persist.

Brandon Hegedus is a car builder from Calgary Canada who singlehandedly built a stunning 1962 iteration of the  Ferrari Tipo 156  in his garage. In this episode, Brandon walks us through the history of the Tipo 156 and what it took to replicate this legendary car.

Ghostly, atmospheric, and almost dreamlike:  these words begin to describe the imagery created by Belgian photographer Bart Kuykens, who is a longtime Porsche enthusiast and the creator of the seven-book photo collection, "A FLAT SIX LOVE AFFAIR". 

Bart talks with Maurice about his journey into photography, the challenges of  celebrity and high-end lens work, and of course his passion for the Porsche brand, having owned over twenty-five examples over the years. He's currently rocking a 1970 911 Hot Rod.

Bart's work can be seen and purchased through the links below.
