The Queen and Emdog continue to stumble and fumble through the very wacky world of Odd Rods. Queenie finally gets to unveil one of her top tier favorites. A model T inspired pre-war body and on a period technical Indy car inspired chassis. That’s the amazing Ice Truck by Dan Woods. Em dog brings out a heavy hitter with Fritz Schenk’s Roswell Rod, a Roth inspired rod that is so out of this world it will make you want to believe.  Dan Woods Ice Truck & insta Fritz Schenk’s Roswell Rod Recorded, edited & mixed by Emdognightmare & Queen of the Vans Production & research Queen of the Vans & Emdognightmare Find us: Car Krush Stay updated w/ our newsletter Hugs, thank you & high fives to Greg Meleney for the killer tunez!

Legendary hot-rodder Gene Winfield is an influence for the ages, a century of style. Rose spends an hour sharing fond memories of her time at his desert compound. She reminisces fondly of time in the paint booth, chops done low, and louvers laid forth. We wax poetic and go through her tribute to gene the day after he passed, and share some other behind the scenes goodies from where the magic happened.

In episode two the girls cover the shockwave story of Motortrend Studios closing and share a little bit about what that actually means.  Review a YouTube video entitled “Worst automotive flops of all time”. It brings out the worst in show with an absolute flop of a Cadillac and perhaps another not so deserving nominee.  We dip in to the mail bag hot on the heels of episode 1. Emily’s story about 9/10 of a gallon struck a chord with one listener. While on the other side of town our Simpsons references are causing trouble.  Take Hip Hop w/Dj Rayley register here Check our this gorgeous Edsel speedometer  Recorded, edited & mixed by Emdognightmare Production & research Queen of the Vans & Emdognightmare Find us: Car Krush Stay updated w/ our newsletter Hugs, thank you & high fives to Greg Meleney for the killer tunez!
