Autoweek's Vinsetta Garage
[edit]Autoweek's Vinsetta Garage is a television show which first aired January 3rd, 2012 on Discovery Channel's Velocity TV. The show is hosted by Courtney Hansen and guests include automotive executives, musicians, race car drivers and Pixar animation designers.[1]
The show's name comes from the Vinsetta Garage, which opened in 1919 and is located on Woodward Avenue in Berkley, about 20 miles north of Detroit.[1][2] Constructed when Woodward Avenue was still a dirt road, the garage began as a gas station that serviced horse-drawn carriages and Model Ts.[3] It later took on the role of classic car repair shop and outpost for the Woodward Dream Cruise. After 91 years, its doors were closed in 2010 and it is being converted into a restaurant.[4]
