Past Gas

S1 Ep113: Steve McQueen Was The O.G. Car Nerd

Listen Later

Hi everybody I’m Nolan from Past Gas by Donut Media, we’re an automotive history show. Its kind of like hanging out in the garage with your friends, listening to them tell a story from automotive history! 

Fast cars and big movies are as American as Abraham Lincoln. From the Delorean to the Batmobile, superstar cars and the badasses who drive them have been woven into the fabric of American culture for over a century. What made Steve McQueen a legend in both film and autos? How did he come to love cars even more than movies, and what were his greatest moments, both on-screen and off? All that and more on today’s episode of Past Gas.
