Hot Rods, Low Riders, Angels

Studio 360

Jump-starting the American car. Kurt takes a tour through L.A.’s car culture, talking to hot rodders and low riders and emerging designers who just might be able to rescue the U.S. auto industry. A new play in Charlotte, NC looks back at a nasty culture war from 1996. And two cult favorites from Cleveland: horror movie host Ghoulardi and the rock band Pere Ubu.
