Cars that Matter is all about cars that have captured people’s hearts. They are the special cars, and they come from every decade since the dawn of the Automotive Age. They might be from the Brass Era or today’s Battery Era. They have names like 911 or SL, Corvette or Countach, or simply M. All have fueled passion in the people who created them, owned them, raced them, or sometimes—with remorse—parted with them. From CurtCo Media. On Cars That Matter, we talk with designers, engineers, race-car drivers, market experts, historians, restorers and collectors about the brightest luminaries in the automotive universe. What connects our guests and our audience? Like ourselves, each has a love affair with the automobile. Or maybe many. For all of us, these cars are not merely brands, like toothpaste or a pair of tennis shoes. Each one bears a marque, with a crest or ornament atop its hood. And every one of them has a fascinating story to tell.

episode 14: 14 - Brandon Starks and The Brumos Collection
Recorded over the internet, Robert Ross talks with Brandon Starks about the Brumos Collection. First they cover the history of the building itself (1:09) and the how the collection began with one of its first owners, Peter Gregg (2:50). After reviewing his life, they shift gears into discussing how Gregg's paths ultimately crossed with Hurley Haywood (6:10). They then refocus on the collection itself to review The Burmos Collection's purpose and drive (9:19) before reviewing the specific cars in the collection like: a 917K (17:51), a 908 (22:10), a 917/10 (22:56), a 1979 935 (26:47), an Porsche 911 RSR (27:59), and both an 1894 and 1914 Peugeot (29:16). They conclude by talking about the thread that ties The Brumos Collection to its visitors (34:35).
