Description

Steve Magnante, also known as Steve Mags, was born in 1964, at the tail end of the Baby Boom era. Ever since his mother gave him his first Hot Wheels toy car at age 8, Steve has been infatuated with all things automotive. Steve has made his passion a career, first by writing for nationally circulated car magazines like Hot Rod, Car Craft, Muscle Car Review, Mopar Muscle, Chrysler Power and others as well as hosting automotive TV shows like Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold, Rides Reunited, Classic Car Restoration, Hot Rod Magazine TV, and the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction, which he has been part of since 2005. On The Steve Mags Muscle Car Show, Steve shares excerpts from his best-selling book “Steve Magnante’s 1001 Muscle Car Facts” while offering author-commentary to describe why certain facts were chosen for use in the book and offering further elaboration and detail that wouldn’t fit in the book format. In every 30 minute episode of The Steve Mags Muscle Car Show, listeners will learn all about America’s most famous automotive creations, the muscle cars. In addition, The Mail Bag, accessible through Stevemags.com, provides an open door to send Steve your questions for possible use on-air. Tune in to The Steve Mags Muscle Car Show for a high octane fix of muscle car facts!
