Cars That Matter

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.

From Vintage Air: Jack Chisenhall, President and Founder, and recipient of the Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award, shares his experiences retrofitting older, classic cars with new systems, his time driving on the Bonneville Salt Flats, and what will be the future for 'historic cars'.

After a brief introduction, Robert jumps straight to Jack's early love of cars and how he began his career of working with automobiles (0:24) and the first time he attended the Street Rod Nationals (4:21). Then the men share their experiences as cars evolved to have air conditioning and how Jack began retrofitting air systems into older models (7:15). Then Robert takes a moment to reflect on Jack's Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award (8:13). Following a short break, Jack tells about his time driving on the Bonneville Salt Flats (10:17), then Robert asks Jack to share the details of his personal car collection (14:13) and Robert asks Jack his 'any three cars' question (17:38). Jack then explains how he approaches designing new systems for classic cars (20:01) and Robert questions how Vintage Air approaches exotic cars (), before Robert asks Jack about the most difficult 'car' he ever worked on (25:56) and the oldest car he ever worked on (27:54).
