Diving into the Latest with Gearhead Diva & TV Personality, Rachel De Barros

In this On the Move hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman launch right into their latest columns in the latest edition of the Mecum Magazine. In his ‘At the Redine’, John is zipping through some Z-car history, focusing on the Datsun 240Z, 260Z and 280Z. Meanwhile, Matt shifts to share how in his ‘Free Revs’ he wrote about the 2021 Ram Power Wagon 75th Anniversary Edition. The off-road-focused truck will receive special badging as well as other equipment like unique 17-inch painted cast-aluminum beadlock-capable wheels with 33-inch tires. Then its on to talk of the Dodge’s dazzling Gold Rush paint color being rolled out to other 2021 Challengers in addition to the 50th Anniversary Edition. Transitioning back to trucks, the guys talk about the 2021 Ford F150 Tremor, an off-road package that’s not quite up to the Raptor capabilities but still provides enthusiasts a robust rig for backwoods adventures. Then with Christmas around the corner, John shares a gift suggestion for motoring enthusiasts – Matt’s COPO book. Matt discusses why those ultra-rare Chevrolet muscle cars processed through the brand’s Central Office continue to command serious attention and dollars. Wrapping up, a giddy John gives the latest on a very special present he’ll be expecting at the end of the month – his long-awaited 2020 Corvette C8. In Segment 2, the guys connect with Rachel De Barros, automotive content creator and TV personality. The do-it yourselfer gets the guys up to speed with her background, including memories of her first car, a late 1980s Oldsmobile Firenza and how during her time in college she hung up pink fliers around the campus advertising her car repair services for fellow students. Then then goes into her time as one of the hosts for the hit TV show, ‘All Girls Garage’ and how since she’s left she’s now launched her own online stream of repair content. In Segment 3, Matt and John pause before the close of 2020 for a special ‘Mecum Year In Review’. They look back through the past twelve months and go into the highlights of Mecum’s string of successful live and safe events kicking off with memories of the iconic 1968 Ford Mustang GT known as ‘Bullitt’ crossing the Kissimmee 2020 block and hammering for a staggering $3.74 million.
