Send a text

Tonight, in the 3 on the Column Classic Car Podcast, Andrew Roberts and Brian Thomas meet Mike Renaut, freelance journalist, Car Chums podcast host and American cars (especially Edsel) and movie motor enthusiast.

Move all those Vivas out of the way! There's a Ford LTD Country Squire wagon coming through.

If you drove an American car in 1960's London, you were (probably) a villain.

We explore the design influence flowing between US and UK manufacturers in the 1950s and 60s and the broader transatlantic styling trends.

Quick, change all the fins! America made how many cars an hour?

We discuss how the manufacturers' continued use of the same mechanical parts has enabled the hot rodding genre.

We just love the Ford Edsel — why did no one else? Oh, where did I leave my sandwiches and other items of sabotage! Don't worry, Roy. Pop over to Dagenham and sort us out a Cortina, will ya?

Bit of wind noise on your Mondeo? Ron in service will adjust that for you. Look out, he's hitting the airbag! And don't worry Mr Smith, your car will be ready for the midnight handover. Just mind the paint!

It's a Mad Mad Mad World.
