Merry Christmas from The MuscleCar Place – and have a Happy New Year!

FEATURE INTERVIEWS:

Santa Claus:

Would Santa Electric Power The Sleigh?

Tis the season and time once again for the Christmas episode of The Muscle Car Place! Our featured guest once again gave his most exclusive interview of the year, and as far as we now we are the only automotive outlet to feature him. This year marks it 16 years in a row, n fact! He is known worldwide by many names; Pere Noel, Old Saint Nick, etc…..but we’ll call him by the name we know him as best: Santa Claus!

Throughout 2024, the year was filled with meeting old friends and discovering new friends at various different events. Holley Moparty saw the reunion of the text group gang along with an epic hotel parking lot party where we had a great time with great conversations and laughter all around. The Kibbe and Friends crew met Catherine Bach there and held a live interview at the event to find out more about her.

We also attended SEMA again and this time we were invited to the Shelby America headquarters to witness a special press event and check out all of the great one off historical cars. We also sent staff to other events around the country and Bernie McPartland caught up with NHRA Superstar Clay Millican and talked to him trackside. Scotty Stap traveled to the Roadkill Nights in Pontiac and also off to Chicago to attend the MCACN Show courtesy of Ryan Brutt. We loved getting out and meeting people and are definitely looking forward to doing more of it in 2025!

If you would like to hear any of Santa’s interviews from previous years, you can find them here on the website! It all started in 2009 with Episode 28, then followed annually with Episode 67, Episode 114, Episode 160, Episode 197, Episode 233, Episode 270 ,  Episode 307, Episode 343, Episode 379, Episode 416, Episode 452, Episode 490,  Episode 528 and last Christmas in Episode 562. We even had Santa on for our gigantic bonanza Episode 300 Celebration show! You can follow Santa’s progress this Christmas Eve at the Official Norad tracker Noradsanta.org. You can also track him at SantaTracker.google.com.

Thank you to everyone who made 2024 better than it could have been! I am touched and look forward to meeting you in the future!

The Real Reason for the Season!

Of course, the real reason for the season is the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If the hustle and bustle of Christmas has you missing the point of it all, not to worry. Linus Van Pelt helped Charlie Brown with the same question a long time ago by reading Luke 2: 8-14 – and it’s shared in this episode as well.

If you’ve been meaning to learn more about why that’s significant, or perhaps it’s something you walked away from a long time ago, know that you can always come home….and Christmas would be a terrific time to do it! If you would like to learn about accepting Christ’s gift to you, I or anyone on our staff would love to talk to you.
