We dug a little deeper into the archives and found the first hour of a live broadcast from the April 2006 New York Auto Show.

In this episode, we’re right on the show floor at the New York International Auto Show, talking with the show chairman and key organizers about what it takes to bring an event like this to life—how it started, how it grew, and what it meant to the auto industry at the time.

But what really makes this a must-listen is the perspective.

You’ll hear conversations about what were then cutting-edge vehicles in 2006—cars that represented the future of automotive technology, design, and innovation. Looking back now, it’s fascinating to see what stuck, what evolved… and what never quite made it.

The audio is exactly what you’d expect from a live broadcast on the floor of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center—a little noisy, a little raw, and completely authentic.

It’s more than just a show—it’s a snapshot of an industry in motion.

If you love cars, history, or just want to see how far we’ve come… this is one you don’t want to miss.

Car advice, done right.
