After a 19-hour travel day (and spending Halloween 30,000 feet above Manhattan), Greg and Jenni finally touched down in the Lowcountry for one of the most whispered-about events in the collector car world — the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance. In this episode, Greg recaps the weekend and shares interviews with some of the event's standout personalities and cars: Dale Critz — on his collection of historic racecars and what it takes to keep them on track and authentic. Kevin McKay — the Corvette restoration legend shares stories from his famous "autopsy parties", where the true history of a car is uncovered one weld and bolt at a time. Rory Ingram — on high-performance Porsches and the one special car that couldn't quite make it to the show. SCAD Automotive Design Students — shaping the future of car design with bold ideas and fresh creativity. Greg also shares his favorite moments from the Car Club Showcase, the stunning 100 Years of Chrysler display, and the weekend's award winners — including the 1932 Rohr Streamliner Sedan F from Stahls Motors and Music Experience and the 1926 Bentley 3-Litre SuperSport Skiff Boattail from The REVs Institute. And yes… there's even talk of she-crab soup — because no Hilton Head weekend is complete without it.

Ever wonder what it's like to buy a dream car new—and still have it decades later? In this episode, Greg Stanley sits down with two remarkable enthusiasts who did just that. First up is Roger Parlett, original owner of a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback 428 Cobra Jet. As one of the Ford engineers who helped bring the 428 CJ to life, Roger offers a firsthand look at how this legendary muscle car came to be—and what it was like to drive one home from the factory. Then, Greg talks with John Janisch, who purchased his 2004 Lotus Esprit V8 Final Edition brand-new—the very end of Lotus' exotic, analog era. John shares what it's been like to live with and preserve one of the final examples of a truly driver-focused supercar. It's a rare glimpse into automotive history told by the people who were there from day one—still turning the keys to their own legends. #TheCollectorCarPodcast #GregStanley #RMSothebys #FordMustang #Mustang428CJ #CobraJet #LotusEsprit #LotusEspritV8 #LotusFinalEdition #OriginalOwner #CollectorCars #CarPodcast #AutomotiveHistory #MuscleCar #ClassicCar #Supercar #CarStories #CarCulture #FordPerformance #LotusCars #VintageCars #EnthusiastOwned Do you need help buying or selling your collector car?  Contact Greg directly at Greg@TheCollectorCarPodcast.com or GStanley@RMSothebys.com.

This week I step inside Waterworks Visual Arts Center in Salisbury, NC to experience Heidi Mraz's immersive automotive art exhibit. Heidi transforms fragments—vintage brochures, race maps, workshop notes, paint chips—into large-scale portraits that feel alive with motion and memory. We talk process (from research to layering and collage), the stories hidden in each build sheet and body panel, and why car culture belongs on museum walls as much as it does on concours lawns. If you love the smell of old manuals, the poetry of patina, or the way a great road trip rearranges your brain, you'll be right at home in this episode.
