The Muscle Car Place Online Podcast, episode number 58.

This week, Rick is here to kick off October, and we're going to talk about the things we know that mean the most to you.

That's right.

Those transams that Pontiac gave to Bert Reynolds due to Smoky and the Band of Fame.

We'll talk about that.

And then the movement in Washington to get rid of the AM radio band in cars.

Now when it comes to Bert Reynolds, I ask Rick about Meet Your Heroes.

In this case, Bert was one of them, and he did get to meet him, and he got to show him one of his original cars.

We're going to talk about that.

Rick has the first Trans-Anzam that Pontiac gave to Bert, and there were three in total.

He got the 78 that he kept for himself.

He got a 79 that I believe he gave to a friend.

He got a 1980 that I believe he gave to Lonnie Anderson.

And it was 1981, I believe, when leadership of Pontiac switched in the new leadership,

shut off the spigot.

So he got three cars.

And then Rick's take on the push to remove the AM band from new cars, AM radio band. We'll talk

about this as well. Rick is pretty sure the real reason has nothing to do with the cost of

technology to keep it. Don't even give me that. What, a nickel of vehicle? When you amortize

out the true expenses of it, I can't imagine that it costs Didley Squat to keep the AM in the new

vehicles. This is the Muscle Car Place online podcast, brought you by National parts depot this is the weekly show dedicated to
