On a carefree summer evening in the early 1990s, AV Radio host Carl Anthony and his childhood friends ”discovered” a sporty black car in the neighbor’s driveway up the street. In a rural Iowa town where trucks and minivans dominated, this mysterious machine halted 10-speed bikes, grounded all flying footballs, and shut down the nightly water gun fights.
Never had a vehicle interrupted the activity of the kids on Ridgewood Drive, a candy-cane-shaped road at the edge of a tall cornfield.
Many in the automotive industry can recall a similar story where a particular car made a profound impact on them. And all these years later, that vehicle, for any number of reasons, still resonates with them.
