This is a rare find.

We recently uncovered a live broadcast of Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor from the New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, recorded back in April of 2006. This is the second hour of the show that day.

It’s a true time capsule—a look at what the automotive industry was, what we thought was cutting-edge, and how far we’ve come since. From the vehicles on display to the conversations happening on the show floor, you’ll hear the early stages of trends that shaped today’s cars.

Keep in mind, this is a live broadcast from the show floor, so the audio reflects the energy and noise of a real working event. It’s not studio-perfect—but that’s part of the charm. 

Take a listen, step back in time, and enjoy the ride.

Car advice, done right.
