"It's American. It's an American thing": Tom, Jim, and David Quirk of Quirk Auto

In This Episode

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, our hosts bring on three of the Quirk boys, Tom, Jim and David, to talk about the 80s, vehicle franchises, the influence of their elders, and feature in “Car-tunes”, a game-show gauntlet that shifts this episode into next gear.

“What’d you do with the fourth guy?” Ric asks. “Is he trussed up in the back of a trunk somewhere headed south…?” The answer is “Exactly.” The boys talk about Katy Perry and Prince, and the place where Quirk began: Griffin Road. Summer Street was the 80s, when they bought Bean in Conquest, and Mammoth Mart still towered above Harlow Street. They talk about the qualifications you need to host a brand, constructing whole buildings for Subaru in high school. They remember the five kingpins of the early business, their mentors and inspirations; they remember the old jokes they used to share with each other, but do they remember what car Bruce Springsteen had?
