Luftgekühlt 11 & The Story of American Tobacco

from Overcrest · host Kris Clewell / Overcrest

Luftgekühlt 11 dropped into the old American Tobacco Campus in Durham, where brick walls and water towers still hum with the ghosts of machines. A place once built on cigarettes now filled with Porsches, each one carrying its own story. We trace Washington Duke’s walk home after the war, the rise of the Bonsack machine, and the factory that turned Durham into a city of smoke and rhythm.From a Jäger 962 to the Bosch RSR, from hangovers and near-Airbnb disasters to the reminder that your own car should always be a ten, this is our recap of the Luft ofthe South. A clash of history, machinery, and memory.http://www.overcrestproductions.com/driversclub
