The McQueen Classics Interview

July 16, 2026 · 53 min

Show notes

This week, Alex interviews none other than Peter Guida of @mcqueens, one of BaT's most beloved and fastest-growing Local Partners and the host of our recent Meet-Up in lovely Lewes, Delaware. The gregarious Guida talks about how he got into cars due to his dad's decades at NASA; the Maryland and SoCal hot rod subcultures; getting shot down on his first approach to BaT; the origins of the McQueen name and logo; being paid to roll back speedometers (in the '80s, don't worry!); and using similar experiences from the bad old days to run things utterly by the book in modern times.

Peter also explains his unique strategies to deliver on BaT given his ever-increasing volume of listings, gets deep into the intricacies of the Delaware title system, talks up his idea for the next big thing at BaT, and regales with the various facts he uses to pitch his clientele on the BaT experience.
