Tyson Hugie Interview: Drive the Bid Podcast

We have a special guest for this week’s AutoHunter Drive the Bid Podcast! He is a local automotive scenester in Phoenix whose influence can be felt way beyond the Grand Canyon State. He’s also a contributing writer to the ClassicCars.com Journal and AutoHunter.

Mom’s 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix five-speed

Growing up with cars, washing Mom’s and Dad’s vehicle was a family affair for Tyson Hugie. And though a Chevrolet Celebrity ended up being his first car, Tyson gravitated to Acura and has remained an influencer of sorts for Honda’s near-luxury brand.

Logically, he’s a Future Collector Car Symposium panelist at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction too. He’s driven to Alaska in his ILX (a gift from American Honda Motor Company, believe it or not) and has appeared on Jay Leno’s Garage.

Among Tyson’s collectible Acuras is a Desert Mist 1994 Legend LS Coupe with a six-speed manual and – get this – 500,000 miles. Yet despite the Acura fetish, Tyson owns a trusty, 460-powered 1994 Ford F-250 truck and lusts for a 1950 Buick.

Join Derek Shiekhi and me as we discuss cars with Tyson, including our AutoHunter picks that include a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette, 1969 Camaro SS, and 1978 Pontiac Trans Am.
