What the presenter said

- [00:15] The featured Lamborghini R904 DT model was manufactured between 1972 and 1979.
- [00:22] Farmer Larry Wiggins originally purchased three units due to their fuel-efficient, air-cooled engines and favorable purchase pricing relative to competing brands.

- [02:03] Faculty members, including Dr. Bryan Garton, partnered with students and alumni to organize the event's return.
