In this episode, Staff Writer Tyler Duffy joins to talk about a series of posts he recently authored that identifies the 50 most influential cars of the past 50 years. Tyler explains what “influential” means in this context, how he selected the 50 cars and the top car of each decade, and why his list isn’t of the 50 best cars. For car enthusiasts, a list like this is a hot-button topic. Regardless of your relationship to cars, Tyler’s methodology is fascinating and makes a compelling argument.
