The One-Year Garage: 1960

About this episode

The hosts discuss and select their favorite vehicles from the year 1960, exploring the cultural context of the time.

This BaT Podcast episode, recorded on a particularly active day for the motorcycle shop next door, sees Alex, Randy and Cam choosing the best of the transitory period between the late '50s and mid '60s. They set the stage with politics, the state of American optimism, and the top film, music and motorsports events of the year before picking their favorite vehicles in the Sports Car, Truck/4x4, Family Hauler, Daily Driver, and Wild Card categories. Along the way: driving a DB4 in flip flops; wildly varying opinions on the '60 Galaxie lineup; a country sedan that isn't; big honkin' Brit cars; light name-calling; a tight race in trucks; a helluva deal; an aquatic detour in high style; an aspirational rush into GT territory; overloading a Giulietta TI; a sad Mini merger; and a most honorable mention.
