Horsepower Heritage – Details, episodes & analysis

J.B. Nethercutt ranked among the heavy hitters of car collecting for over fifty years, amassing a treasure trove of rare and remarkable machines numbering in the hundreds. Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Duesenberg, Cadillac, Chrysler, Marmon,  Mercedes, Ruxton and Stutz are just some of the great nameplates he collected.

Today, the Nethercutt Collection is a world-class assemblage of the finest motorcars in history, and it's also one of the most accessible to the general public. 

J.B.'s great grandson, Cameron Richards, serves as the vice president and curator of the collection. Cameron has been a regular guest on Jay Leno's Garage and is committed to introducing a new generation of car enthusiasts to the "Grand Era" of the motorcar. 

In this episode, you'll hear the full story of how the collection came to be, and you'll learn about the "Crown Jewels" of J.B.'s obsession- as well as what it takes to keep it all preserved, maintained and ready for the road.

Here's a quick update on how the massive overhaul of Apple Podcasts affected many shows in the library.

You've probably noticed that the Apple Podcasts app looks very different now, and it's gained a whole lot of convenience and utility for users... but there were still bugs when it was released in late April.

You may have noticed problems as a user. But for podcasters, but was an absolute nightmare!

All through the month of May, weird things were happening: shows disappeared. Episodes went into oblivion. Downloads plummeted by 30 per cent.

So here's what you can do: scroll through Horsepower Heritage page on the Apple Podcasts app, and if you see any episodes that are unplayed, it could be that they were missing before but have since been pushed to the app.

If you have any issues, go to horsepowerheritage.com , click on the "Contact" button, and let me know what you've found.

Thanks for listening!

Here's the story of the American station wagon- a car that was once nearly indispensable but is now nearly extinct. From its curious origin in England to the Old West to the Jet Age and beyond, the station wagon has carried families and friends, tools and supplies, camping gear and Christmas trees.  As the pioneers said, "Wagons, Ho!"
