Do you love cars? Cars are integral to American culture, and not just in California. Car metaphors fill our vernacular (“put the pedal to the metal”, “it’s a doozy”, “dead man’s curve”). We follow the price of gas religiously, compare notes and gas mileage with strangers, and engage in “driveway colloquiums” in the suburbs. We teach our kids to drive, we pay insurance, we use cars daily, we complain about traffic, we stand at stoplights and we get speeding tickets, and we all seek an honest mechanic.

Dr. Elton will join five other lecturers (one/week) who will hold forth on six fascinating car topics, engendering immediate contributions from the class members. Students are encouraged to chime in.

-         Dave Elton – Great Moments in Automotive Manufacture – NOT!

-         Jeff Evans – Early Chevy pickups

-         Mark Doncheski - Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should

-         Bill Tanis – 1939 Dodge stories

-         Jeff Scheckter – 60s street rods

-         Bill Brobst – Imported cars

Here are six weeks with six folks who love cars. If you’re into cars, this course is for you.
