Discover how perfect weather and a remarkable turnout made this event a standout, as Tammy shares insights into her professional life and her husband's blissful retirement.

00:00:10.134 --> 00:00:19.681
Central Boy.

00:00:19.681 --> 00:00:23.047
You know what, If there was ever a way to cut it any closer?

00:00:23.687 --> 00:00:24.850
Wow.

00:00:25.170 --> 00:00:26.614
That's an award winner right there.

00:00:26.614 --> 00:00:27.175
I don't know how.

00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:34.871
I'm not involved in this, but between David, don and Mike they seem to reach deep into their bag of tricks.

00:00:34.871 --> 00:00:40.448
Pull out a handful of pixie dust, sprinkle it all over this equipment and it works.

00:00:40.448 --> 00:00:42.424
That's what I see.

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:44.003
Did you record that?

00:00:44.085 --> 00:00:54.665
I hope we're going gonna play that back welcome, incredible welcome to hewlett park in granbury, texas, and the lone star street rod association's 49th annual state run.

00:00:54.665 --> 00:00:57.311
This is the end wheel time car talk show.

00:01:18.397 --> 00:01:20.846
Well, okay, I'm glad that he's making the adjustments.

00:01:20.846 --> 00:01:22.341
We need more Jeff Zekin.

00:01:22.341 --> 00:01:30.884
He is next to me, and on the other side of me is David Ainsley, so we're having the Star Spangled.

00:01:30.924 --> 00:01:32.326
Banner sung.

00:01:32.927 --> 00:01:33.429
Let's listen.

00:01:33.429 --> 00:01:35.593
Can you pop that up?

00:01:35.593 --> 00:01:47.480
And our flag was still there.

00:01:47.480 --> 00:02:12.810
Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:27.348
That was beautiful, thank you, in honor to our country and our flag.

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:29.646
God bless you all for being here.

00:02:29.646 --> 00:02:31.937
We'll have a good time through the day.

00:02:31.937 --> 00:02:38.170
We have that freedom in our country that we can do these kind of events in honor of our country flag.

00:02:38.170 --> 00:02:44.628
For those of you that are participating, we're going to listen in on this for just a second.

00:02:44.628 --> 00:02:51.406
The shuttle will start running from the back gate and it will run continuously.

00:04:49.067 --> 00:04:50.250
That's cool.

00:04:50.250 --> 00:04:51.151

Yeah, we saw them at the restaurants.

00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.165
Well we met your biggest fan, the former mayor of Ninh, Dan Hewlett.

00:04:59.165 --> 00:05:00.788
Is you talk about a rock star?

00:05:00.788 --> 00:05:01.310

00:05:01.550 --> 00:05:02.012
He is great.

00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:06.223
He was mayor, I don't know how many years?

00:05:06.244 --> 00:05:23.752
10 years, okay great, so you know more than I do, and they named the park after him no, they did well, I think that wasn't he the one that kind of uh gave, gave you the the nod to come on in we, we need you and please come and work here he kind of probably got the ball rolling, and so that was great you were out in west te, from what I understand.

00:05:23.771 --> 00:05:35.605
Yes, I was in Midland and I had a place here and he knew my background and we sold our company and next thing, I know, here I am and, you know, loved every minute.

00:05:35.605 --> 00:05:45.615
I was only going to work a year or two and Because I was really going to retire when we sold the company and I was too young that's at least what I tell myself.

00:05:45.697 --> 00:05:55.423
Right Got to have something to do Right, right, so yeah, so it's been great and we've really done a lot.

00:05:55.423 --> 00:06:08.752
My background was managing convention centers and doing events and stuff, so it was a natural fit, and so the conference center here is part of my department and I just have so much fun with it and what is Tom slash, mike do?

00:06:08.752 --> 00:06:12.264
Well, what he did besides being your husband he's.

00:06:12.264 --> 00:06:18.548
He's now retired and he told someone last night at dinner he was my arm candy, so there you go.

00:06:18.569 --> 00:06:20.211

His truck got dented with the last hailstorm and so he's getting a rental truck and blah, blah, blah.

00:08:37.020 --> 00:08:37.601
Dooley family.

00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:49.443
Well, you know, know, it's uh, it's interesting because of all the years that we've been coming up here.

00:08:49.443 --> 00:08:52.859
We just heard about you when I told her I said yeah, you know what?

00:08:52.859 --> 00:08:54.241
I don't think you really.

00:08:54.241 --> 00:09:06.850
Yeah, that really is true and you know that we, I guess I have really kind of not made fun of, but brought you into the fold of our humor here and started calling you Tom Dooley.

00:09:07.292 --> 00:09:08.557
So I don't know you as Mike.

00:09:08.909 --> 00:09:09.914
In my world you're Tom.

00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:17.104
Well, and Mayor said they kept calling him Tom and I told him no, it's Mike, it's Mike.

00:09:17.104 --> 00:09:19.960
And he said then I figured out what they're doing.

00:09:20.471 --> 00:09:23.159
We even sang to you last show we sang to you.

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.113
Well, that's the problem.

00:09:25.113 --> 00:09:29.042
A lot of people are, you guys are Well him.

00:09:29.182 --> 00:09:31.918
I'm not yeah he's the one that brought it up, because he's old enough.

00:09:33.291 --> 00:09:34.336
Mike hears that a lot.

00:09:34.630 --> 00:09:36.407
Pleasure to meet you finally, I love all of you.

00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:39.832

00:09:39.832 --> 00:09:40.734
You've got a good show.

00:09:40.734 --> 00:09:41.354
Jamie's on there.

Well, thank you, and we appreciate her a lot and it's always a pleasure.

00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:58.011
You know, it's fun because I don't look at it Because this could turn into one big commercial and some people may say, well, it is a big commercial, well, okay, if you want to call it that.

00:09:58.011 --> 00:10:21.335
But this is really kind of like family, because there are certain people that are associated with us, whether they like it or not, that we've brought into the fold, and you're one of them and we feel really close to you and I know that Tom Mike would appreciate that, because we respect what you do and you've got a great personality and you fit with us.

00:10:21.335 --> 00:10:22.636
You know what I'm saying.

00:10:22.898 --> 00:10:28.231
Well, you know, that's one of the really great things about what I do this weekend.

00:10:28.231 --> 00:10:40.321
It's all about these wonderful automobiles and Rick Neely and all of this we love, and then tomorrow it may be some other sporting event or whatever it is, and so it changes all the time.

00:10:40.321 --> 00:10:43.785
So we get to see all that, or a big fishing tournament or a big.

00:10:44.010 --> 00:10:59.945
You know, we had a literally had a brain surgeon convention not too long ago so we weren't invited to that, but see what you say for that, all the activities going on, these ladies do that with us.

00:10:59.945 --> 00:11:09.980
It's like our little road show, our little circus going out in the community as well, not as large as yours and doesn't have as big an impact as yours, but we help, support as well.

00:11:10.601 --> 00:11:11.423
I know it's great.

00:11:11.423 --> 00:11:15.020
I told them what you said last night at dinner, that you were my arm candy.

00:11:16.970 --> 00:11:23.201
Tammy's really modest she's maybe the best in Texas at what she does, that's what we heard.

00:11:23.269 --> 00:11:25.236
I told you I pay these people.

00:11:25.236 --> 00:11:26.220
I pay these people.

00:11:27.591 --> 00:11:28.335
No, I don't get paid.

00:11:28.335 --> 00:11:29.533
I'm an honest man.

00:11:29.553 --> 00:11:30.357
You're the candy.

00:11:30.831 --> 00:11:32.277
Once I bought, I stayed bought.

00:11:33.530 --> 00:11:40.176
Well, I mean, I know that you're proud to have her as your wife, but she's, you know, a down-home, honest person and that means the world.

00:11:40.176 --> 00:11:42.902
You know a down home honest person and that means the world.

00:11:42.902 --> 00:12:04.562
You know, because, as you know, in our business and I consider broadcasting is kind of we all kind of in this self-promoting kind of thing or whatever it is that you're doing that there are certain people that you, you just you, go out and you attach yourself to because they're honest, they, they're fun to work with and it's a pleasure.

00:12:04.562 --> 00:12:16.402
And that's what this event and you've brought us to this event, the Lone Star Street Rod Association, we got a chance to meet you and it's just been really fulfilling for us.

00:12:16.402 --> 00:12:21.562
It makes it worthwhile, because this is the furthest we've ever traveled to do our show.

00:12:21.929 --> 00:12:30.573
We've done lots of shows and this year in particular we've done a lot of remote broadcasts at various car shows across mainly around the Houston area.

00:12:30.573 --> 00:12:33.014
But this one is special.

00:12:33.014 --> 00:12:41.717
It takes us a while to get here, we work to get here and in fact I just got finished visiting my daughter in Denver, and so we had arranged it.

00:12:41.717 --> 00:12:50.881
So we drove to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, took the flight to Denver back here, then drove here with the car that we left at the airport.

00:12:50.881 --> 00:12:53.503
Now we'll drive back today, but you get it.

00:12:53.503 --> 00:12:56.844
I mean it's work, but it's not work, it's fun to do.

00:12:57.163 --> 00:13:06.048
Well, and see, that's music to my ears, because all these people are doing, you know, something similar going out of their way to come to Granbury.

00:13:06.048 --> 00:13:12.749
They have choices, they can go anywhere they want and hopefully they have the best experience, and then they come back and visit all the time.

00:13:12.990 --> 00:13:18.501
Well, you know, Tammy, it's funny because somebody asked me what's the deal with the car thing?

00:13:18.501 --> 00:13:18.982
What do you do?

00:13:18.982 --> 00:13:25.576
Well, you know, the cars are just the object, but it's the friendship and the partnerships.

00:13:25.576 --> 00:13:28.500
I would have not met him or any of these guys.

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.123
Well, David, I've known from broadcasting.

00:13:30.143 --> 00:13:30.823
She just met a student.

00:13:30.823 --> 00:13:32.485
Miss A just met a student.

00:13:32.505 --> 00:13:39.803
There you go, and so it's one of those kind of deals where it's the camaraderie, it's the friendship, the people that you know that bring you all together.

00:13:39.803 --> 00:13:42.056
It's like going to a reunion party, kind of.

00:13:42.417 --> 00:13:48.522
Yeah, it's exactly the same, you know, whether we're doing a dog show, whether we're doing whatever it is.

00:13:48.522 --> 00:13:54.099
That is the commonality brings the people here, and so we just appreciate it.

00:13:54.099 --> 00:14:01.240
We know that they have lots of places they can go, yeah, and so we just try to make this a good place for them.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:01.902
And what a day.

00:14:01.902 --> 00:14:03.075
There's not a cloud in the sky.

00:14:03.389 --> 00:14:05.618
we just try to make this a good, a good place and what a day.

00:14:05.658 --> 00:14:07.885
There's not a cloud in the sky, nice breeze it's, it's so beautiful now are both of you comparing?

00:14:08.047 --> 00:14:11.640
the last two weeks, uh, no, uh, midland well, we're not really from midland.

00:14:11.660 --> 00:14:12.806
We were working working there.

00:14:12.947 --> 00:14:14.071
Oh, where are you from?

00:14:14.071 --> 00:14:22.283
I grew up in oak cliff, so okay, and you I was uh army brat, so all over the world yeah my father was.

00:14:22.302 --> 00:14:25.092
That's where she learned her skills all over the world.

00:14:25.494 --> 00:14:27.937
Well, it does help um one year.

00:14:27.937 --> 00:14:29.662
You won't believe this.

00:14:29.662 --> 00:14:31.772
One year I actually had to move schools.

00:14:31.852 --> 00:14:42.339
I was in, I think, sixth grade, seven times seven times one year and because my dad was shipped all over the place and so you learn real quick to.

00:14:42.339 --> 00:14:44.984
You meet a lot of great diverse people.

00:14:44.984 --> 00:14:46.171
You have to adapt.

00:14:46.171 --> 00:14:54.856
You make friends really fast and lifelong friends all over the world, and it was one of it was a privilege being a military.

00:14:54.856 --> 00:14:59.090
You know child, sure, yeah, and where's my brother, who is wonderful?

00:14:59.090 --> 00:15:09.614
Uh, he did the opposite approach, you know he, he didn't like to be pulled out of one situation and he was more one place forever.

00:15:09.614 --> 00:15:10.761
But I loved it.

00:15:10.761 --> 00:15:11.707
I loved it.

00:15:12.471 --> 00:15:14.957
Yeah, because well, you're immersed in it from birth.

00:15:15.038 --> 00:15:15.339
I guess.

00:15:16.020 --> 00:15:23.124
You know Well we really want to, you know, just tell you how much this show means, because we've been in the business together.

00:15:23.124 --> 00:15:26.139
She's been on the promotion end and does a lot more than I ever did.

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:34.644
But these kind of shows are visual shows and they bring people here to town and they usually have money to spend.

00:15:34.644 --> 00:15:35.711
Yeah, I mean, we're not.

00:15:35.711 --> 00:15:37.837
These things don't come cheap.

00:15:38.178 --> 00:15:38.640
Right, correct.

00:15:39.831 --> 00:15:41.357
So it's really good you came here.

00:15:42.350 --> 00:15:43.075
We're proud of it.

00:15:43.075 --> 00:15:45.196
Yeah Well, we are proud to be here.

00:15:45.570 --> 00:15:50.899
It's rolling art actually you know, yes, it is, and I learn something new every time I come.

00:15:50.899 --> 00:16:01.177
We were talking to a gentleman earlier that has a 57 Ford Fairlane, absolutely stunningly beautiful car.

00:16:01.177 --> 00:16:07.491
We'd never met him before and he drove in not too far from here and I told him.

00:16:07.491 --> 00:16:19.873
I said I've never been a Ford guy but that car and he was staying in the hotel with us and I saw it sitting in the hotel and Leslie will tell you I thought, wow, look at that car.

00:16:20.715 --> 00:16:32.062
And then to tell the story about how he bought it, which was interesting because he bought it off of ebay what exactly, and he's the second owner and the second owner of the car.

00:16:32.062 --> 00:16:34.994
He bought it from a family that's a win yeah.

00:16:35.274 --> 00:16:47.197
And it's been completely restored and customized for him, but it still maintains its original look, the paint is magnificent and he drives it everywhere, he doesn't trailer it and that sort of thing.

00:16:47.197 --> 00:17:00.532
And it's interesting because we started talking about the different styles of cars and I didn't realize it, but that particular car outsold the 57 chevy, which is a classic, an icon.

00:17:00.532 --> 00:17:07.852
It's a one-year only car, for the body style on it, um, you know, you hear the tri-fives the 55, 56, 57.

00:17:07.852 --> 00:17:12.501
That one behind you is a 56 and the 57 is completely different.

00:17:12.501 --> 00:17:25.986
They only made it for one year because in 58 it was a completely different body style and I didn't realize that it wasn't the number one seller in 1957 that ford was who was?

00:17:26.026 --> 00:17:27.797
to think yeah, how do you find these things out?

00:17:27.817 --> 00:17:33.791
by coming to these shows, exactly, well see that's great, because I know nothing about you're like talking a foreign language to me, right?

00:17:33.811 --> 00:17:39.336
now, because I know nothing about automobiles, but it's fascinating.

00:17:39.635 --> 00:17:51.123
And you know, I say all the time, when we have a car show like this, this is our largest one, but it's like conventioneers on wheels, because you know, that's what it is to us.

00:17:51.123 --> 00:17:54.065
And then I learn about automobiles that I know nothing about.

00:17:54.065 --> 00:17:54.625
You know.

00:17:55.226 --> 00:17:56.086
I'm going to switch gears.

00:17:56.086 --> 00:17:58.067
How many folks live in Granbury?

00:17:59.470 --> 00:18:00.131
What's the population of Granbury?

00:18:00.131 --> 00:18:13.402
It's about 11,000 here in town, but we have all these communities around Like we live in Pecan Plantation, and then there's Day, cordova, bend, and there's all these great like country club communities and they're all around us.

00:18:13.402 --> 00:18:16.901
So just right around us is about 75,000.

00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:18.676
So, Tammy, let me ask you something.

00:18:18.676 --> 00:18:21.038
You got any cows in the backyard over at y'all's place?

00:18:21.289 --> 00:18:22.615
I live on a golf course.

00:18:23.337 --> 00:18:23.638
I see.

00:18:24.352 --> 00:18:25.596
They don't allow cows.

00:18:29.115 --> 00:18:30.681
So, it's either electric or gas.

00:18:30.681 --> 00:18:32.355
That's all you worry about over there.

00:18:32.616 --> 00:18:35.234
Exactly Tonight they're having.

00:18:35.234 --> 00:18:37.141
What a big member tournament today.

00:18:37.141 --> 00:18:38.493

00:18:38.694 --> 00:18:39.357
Member guest.

00:18:40.412 --> 00:18:41.336

Are you not a golfer?

00:18:46.131 --> 00:18:46.737
I love to golf.

00:18:46.737 --> 00:18:48.874
It's just hot and I'm busy and I work for her.

00:18:48.874 --> 00:18:50.117
Let's be honest.

We have another one of the owners with us here in just a moment and really I don't have enough time to get going into anything.

00:23:22.574 --> 00:23:28.616
I do have our Hemings Sold Cars Roundup and I had one car in particular for you, jeff Zekin.

00:23:28.616 --> 00:23:34.358
Uh-oh, it's a 2006 Cadillac XLR-V.

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.340
Oh, xlr-v, that's a golfer's car.

00:23:37.820 --> 00:23:49.787
Yeah, it's based on a Corvette that Cadillac tried to do, so it's got the Corvette chassis underneath it and it's got the Cadillac V-Series engine under the hood.

00:23:49.807 --> 00:23:50.508
Yeah, I know all about those.

00:23:50.508 --> 00:23:51.028
It's a convertible.

00:23:51.028 --> 00:23:51.807
You see it right there.

00:23:51.807 --> 00:23:52.268
What year again?

00:23:52.349 --> 00:23:53.853
This is a 2006.

00:23:53.853 --> 00:23:54.634
What do you think that?

00:23:54.634 --> 00:23:55.657
A 2006,.

00:23:55.657 --> 00:23:56.980
Beautiful silver.

00:23:56.980 --> 00:24:02.118
Looks like it's all stock now I don't know how many miles it's got on it, but it looks really nice.

00:24:02.118 --> 00:24:03.020
42,000.

00:24:03.020 --> 00:24:04.163
42,000.

00:24:04.163 --> 00:24:06.153
Mr Mars, what do you think that would be?

00:24:06.153 --> 00:24:07.016
2006?

00:24:07.016 --> 00:24:08.900
Cadillac XLR-V?

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.295
It's a two-seat coupe, yeah yeah, I would go with 28.

00:24:14.535 --> 00:24:14.935
28?

00:24:14.935 --> 00:24:14.935
.

00:24:14.935 --> 00:24:15.537
What's your guess?

00:24:19.064 --> 00:24:19.704
35.

00:24:19.704 --> 00:24:20.267
35.

00:24:20.267 --> 00:24:21.530
Okay, well, that's fair enough.

00:24:21.530 --> 00:24:29.193
Apparently Hemmings this car was sold on Hemmings last week for $24,150.

00:24:29.213 --> 00:24:31.086
Oh, okay, that's right in your ballpark, jeff.

00:24:31.125 --> 00:24:34.989
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's one candle I kind of shy away from.

00:24:35.128 --> 00:24:35.329
Why.

00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:37.183
I just don't like the styling.

00:24:37.183 --> 00:24:39.849
I don't, you don't, no, jeff.

00:24:40.050 --> 00:24:40.833
He wants a wagon.

00:24:40.833 --> 00:24:43.324
He wants a wagon.

00:24:43.324 --> 00:24:43.848
I know what it really is.

00:24:43.848 --> 00:24:44.920
You don't want to get that bald head sunburned.

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:48.391
Yeah, and all the hair blowing in my eyes and all that it happens.

00:24:49.603 --> 00:24:50.500
That's what the real story is.

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:52.787
That's just not a good style, for me Is that a Studebaker?

00:24:52.906 --> 00:24:53.829
Is that a Studebaker?

00:24:53.890 --> 00:24:58.346
That is, that's a Studebaker pickup truck, that's so rare.

00:24:58.385 --> 00:24:59.146
You never see them.

00:24:59.146 --> 00:25:00.169
That is a beautiful one.

00:25:01.651 --> 00:25:01.971
American.

00:25:02.010 --> 00:25:05.925
Graffiti yes, oh my God, it is American Graffiti.

00:25:05.925 --> 00:25:09.570

00:25:09.570 --> 00:25:11.806

00:25:17.207 --> 00:25:18.305

Yes, we are, because we want it I think dave is going to retire out here, so that or the up.

00:25:25.111 --> 00:25:25.751

00:25:25.751 --> 00:25:47.290
Yeah, the lake is right there there, there there, it's all around it's all well, actually it is yeah, it is kind of all around, but at any rate, this is a beautiful place and we're honored to be here to celebrate cars because that's basically what it is and all different makes and models and types and styles that you could possibly imagine.

00:25:47.290 --> 00:25:56.880
