The Muscle Car Place online podcast episode number 477. This week, it's September. Football has started. The official start of fall is just days away. And the future of electric cars is getting closer and closer. It's coming. We all know it's coming. But does that mean there will be no fun petrol engines for anything anywhere ever again?

Well, realistically, no, at least not any time even remotely soon.

And when it comes to the fun cars, the hot rods, the classics, the muscle cars,

Rick Schmidt from NPD has a guess of where things might head.

And maybe that light at the end of the tunnel really isn't an oncoming train.

And the more we get into this electric vehicle thing, the more that having a classic in the garage

gives you an escape from your all-electric appliance, gives you a window into your past,

into your childhood when you remember what you used to drive around it, I think it's going to make it stronger

and bigger and a larger audience more interested in these cars.

This is the Muscle Car Place, weekly online podcast.

Brought to you by National Parks Depot.

This is the weekly show dedicated to people worldwide who love American muscle cars.

Whether you're buying them, selling, restoring, or even racing them, this is the place for you.

Now, here's your host, Rob Kibby.

Yes, indeed, I am Rob Kibby, and welcome to the Muscle Car Place podcast.

So another fun show today.

Rick Schmidt will be here, maybe with the most animated story of buying a low-mile car ever.

And I mean ever.

This may be the first time Bernie either had to cut out a little hot swear or bleeped out whatever he did.

I don't know what he's going to do.

Rick was hot.

But before that, a great discussion on electric cars and the electric vehicle adaption in general.
