‘MotorWeek’ Celebrates 45 Years With Special Anniversary Episode

“MotorWeek,” television’s original and longest-running automotive magazine series, marks its milestone 45th season with a special anniversary episode premiering Saturday, Nov. 8, on public television stations across the country (check local PBS listings) and on streaming platforms, company officials stated in a press release.

The “MotorWeek” crew takes viewers on a retrospective road trip through four-and-a-half decades of road tests and automotive escapades. “It’s going to be quite a party,” said “MotorWeek” host and creator John Davis. “We’re driving deep into our video vault so that viewers can relive some of the most entertaining and magical moments of our first four-plus decades.”

The series looks back at where it all got started, with a view behind the scenes at how road tests come together, a recap of the show’s grandest adventures, and a dive into some of the most noteworthy vehicles tested over the years, noted the release. The episode will include bloopers, facts, figures and a special tribute to the great master technician Pat Goss.

“The talented members of the ‘MotorWeek’ team across these many years have had the privilege of telling stories and sharing insights about the automotive world with a national and international audience,” said Davis. “We’ve traveled across North America and beyond since 1981 to bring our viewers content they enjoy and appreciate. We’re grateful to ‘MotorWeek’ fans everywhere who faithfully watch and support the show.”

“MotorWeek” is produced and distributed by Maryland Public Television. The series airs on 90% of PBS stations nationwide.
