We’re shaking things up today and sharing a preview from Car Show!, a new podcast from our friends at Pushkin Industries. Longtime Car and Driver editor Eddie Alterman tells the stories of the vital cars — the ones that have changed how we drive and live, whose significance lies outside the scope of horsepower or miles per gallon. In this preview, Eddie and fellow car enthusiast Malcolm Gladwell share an ode to sport-sedan purity, before automation and excessive trim ruined everything. You can listen to the full episode and more from Car Show! at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/carshow?sid=gas.
