Listen "Sam Fiorani!"
Episode Synopsis
The man who knows all about all the cars.
We are visited by Sam Fiorani, who has a background as an automotive salesman, author, show judge, industry forecaster and museum board member. We find out how to make a profit on an Austin Healey in less than a week. How does the automotive industry find out who is making how many of which product and when? Who makes the motors in today's hybrids and EV's? What does the ICE to EV changeover curve look like? What are the strangest doors ever seen on a production vehicle (hint: it's not Lamborghini.) What is in the Boyertown Museum of Historic Automobiles? Did Maytag make both appliances and cars? Why might one need OEM assembly line booties? In trivia, we find out about flip-up headlamps. All this and more...
