Presidential Pathways: Cars that Marked Reagan's Legacy

Since we are just weeks away from the #presidentialelection , we thought it would be fun to look back at a U.S. President who loved his cars and work vehicles. #RonaldReagan , the 40th President of the United States, loved his 1962 Willys Jeep. He also had a Ford tractor, a #subaru Brat (why he rarely drove it is a great story), a 1985 #Ford Ranger pickup truck and his Secret Service Hummer. We also take you on a trip to the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara County also known as the Western White House when he was President. C.J. and Dana Newquist have a connection to all of those vehicles and the ranch. And we discuss how you can see a couple of these vehicles. We hope you enjoy this show and please like, follow and subscribe. ==============================================================================
