Welcome to the first episode of Cars & Bars from This Day in Automotive History, a hopefully ongoing series where you come for the cars and stay for the musical bars! First up, cruise with Marley and I in a 1955 Ford Thunderbird

. We talk history, go bird watching, Marley sings a tune and we check out the rad little town of Edison, Washington.
