Welcome to Overdrive, a program about the wonderful world of motoring and transport.

I’m David Brown

More of our thoughts, ideas and ramblings are covered on our website, podcast or social media – just search for Cars transport culture

And once again I am joined by Paul Murrell from seniordriverauz.com

Subjects

Edsel

• What was the context of Brooklyn poet Marianne Moore suggesting car names

• The naming of the car

• Edsel was a good guy (Henry was not)

• Lots of features – could that not save it

Swallow Doretti

• History of Swallow cars

• Why the name

• I like the look of it

• Only lasted 10 months

• A Triumph TR2 looks pretty ordinary

Nissan Pathfinder

• I really like the car

• Sales are a disaster

• Large SUV less than $80,000 has changed a lot (Everest is no 1 – Toyotas no longer dominating)
