Stan’s guest this week is renowned architect Witold Rybczynski, who discusses his new book, The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car, published by W.W. Norton. In this wide-ranging discussion, the author reflects on why cars are reflections of our national character, from the Model T to the Range Rover, and how automotive legends like Carl Benz, Ferdinand Porsche, and Harley Earl, created the cars we love and hate, from the VW Beetle to the Mustang and the Corvette, from the SUV to the Tesla Cybertruck.
