Today, a "Fund Drive Special" in a couple of different ways. First, we're offering classic Car Show t-shirts to those who call in pledges! These are brand-new, and from the personal collection of the late Art Gould. There will probably never be any more of these, and we have a limited number of them, in limited sizes. Call early to claim yours!

Also, a fascinating look back at electric cars from the perspective of 1997. John Retsek, Art Gould, and several in-studio guests discussed the new EVs that had hit the market: the GM EV1 and Honda EV Plus. Cost, battery range, and charging infrastructure were all topics then, just as they are now. You won't want to miss this. Call anytime during our hour today starting at 1pm PDT, pledge your support, get a t-shirt, and listen to what the "future" sounded like 26 years ago. Phone 818-985-5735 and select "Option 2" from the menu.
