What Should I Buy? - Muscle & Malaise!
Like most enthusiasts in the collector hobby, we are Camaro’d, Cuda’d & Mustang’d out. It's time for something new, time to rediscover the unsung heroes from a period when Square-bodies and round headlights were all the rage!
You asked… we answered. From our latest fan poll, there was an overwhelming consensus that our listeners wanted us to come back for yet another What Should I Buy? (WSIB), this time hyper focusing on the cars from 1964 to 1982. And like all WSIB episodes, we have some shopping criteria. This time, anything goes, as long as it’s not the same ole Muscle & Malaise we see at our local car shows. Our panel of extraordinary petrol-head panelists are challenged to find our “first time collector” something that will make their friends go “where’d you get that?” at the next Cars & Coffee.
Joining us are veteran WSIB panelists… Mark Shank our ‘90s expert, Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine, and Rob Parr from Collector Car Guide, along with Mountain Man Dan, and special guest Andrew Mason from the Big Man In a Little Car episode!
