Cruising with Classics: From RAV4 Reviews to Vintage Car Auctions

From the fabulous HEMI Hideout in Brookshire, Texas comes an automotive enthusiast's dream episode packed with car reviews, market insights, and plenty of automotive banter.

We kick things off with a thorough examination of the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, assembled right here in America at Georgetown, Kentucky. This small SUV delivers an impressive 41 mpg city while maintaining enough zip to keep driving enjoyable. With sporty handling reminiscent of more premium vehicles, it strikes a perfect balance between daily practicality and weekend adventure capability. At $37,560 for the base hybrid trim, it competes effectively against offerings from Hyundai, Honda, and Ford.

The heart of our show features our beloved Hemmings Sold Car Roundup game, where we attempt to guess the actual selling prices of classic vehicles. The results were eye-opening – from a 1969 Chevelle commanding $73,500 to a pristine 1961 Ford Thunderbird selling for a surprisingly affordable $18,900. These market insights reveal which classics are appreciating and which might represent hidden value in today's collector market.

Car owners won't want to miss our comprehensive recall roundup, covering everything from Ford's fuel injector issues to Tesla's problematic horn pads. We also explore automotive history milestones, including Chrysler's introduction of the legendary HEMI V8 in 1951 and Richard Petty's rise to NASCAR royalty.

Perhaps most relevant to collectors is our discussion of the recent tariff announcement, which includes a crucial exemption for vehicles manufactured at least 25 years prior to import – welcome news for enthusiasts interested in classic international models.
