Coffee With Jim, March 9, 2025

I have looked forward to this conversation with Ryan Thibeault, the owner of Tebo Barn LLC in Milton, New Hampshire, for a long time and wasn't disappointed. Inspiration to live the dream, inspiration to embrace the adventure that is the great American road trip and inspiration to life life to the fullest. 

Ryan took his driving test in his grandfather’s 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton. In high school and college he repaired and restored antique cars, and his daily driver was often a 1930 Ford Model A Town Sedan. In 2022 Ryan, decided to chase the dream, walked away from the day job, and began transforming his hobby and passion into a business. Then, to inspire a new generation of vintage car owners he began sharing epic adventures such as driving a 1929 Ford across America, covering 8,011 miles in 4 weeks! And to this he is now adding adventures in a Stanley steamer. 

On today's program Ryan and author Jim Hinckley talk about road trips, barn finds, Route 66 adventures, the Route 66 centennial, chasing the dream, and the timeless allure of the Model A and Model T Ford. It's another shared adventure from Jim Hinckley's America.
