## Resource

In Episode 9 of Between Two Pumps, the guys tackle one of the collector car world's most debated questions: does anybody still want pre-war cars? What starts as a conversation about Model As, Packards, and Full Classics quickly turns into a deeper discussion about why younger enthusiasts are becoming fascinated with analog experiences, tactile machines, and cars that demand skill, patience, and intentionality to drive. Along the way, the crew explores everything from Pebble Beach-era classics and vintage road rallies through the Alps to manual chokes, non-synchronized transmissions, and the surprising appeal of technology from another century. From million-dollar Duesenbergs and coachbuilt Packards to humble Model Ts and Austin Sevens, the episode breaks down why these cars still matter—and why the experience of driving them may be more relevant now than ever in an increasingly digital world. Because sometimes the slowest cars create the most memorable experiences.
