About Paul
When Paul Brian was 15 years old,
he asked a question that would fashion a great deal of the rest of his
life. The question was, "Sir, I really don't understand what your team seems to be doing--could you explain it
for me?" The answer came from a man who was willing to take the time to answer the inquiry of a young man with
a genuine interest in racing and cars. The answer came from automotive legend Carroll Shelby sitting on the
pit wall of the 1966 Sebring 12-Hour race. From that day on, Paul and Shelby became friends and Shelby's stature
as a business and racing icon helped Paul Brian through the rest of his life--even to today.
"I'll never forget that day and what it meant to me," said Paul. "I suppose that's why, when people started
writing and calling with their questions about what type of vehicle they should buy, I felt a responsibility to
help them through the process. The natural outgrowth of that was the "Ask Paul" feature that we now have on
DriveChicago.com. I don't profess to know the correct answer, nor even think that there's a single best answer
to the question of what a customer should or shouldn't buy, but I know enough to help them down the path of
making a sound, sensible decision."
Over the past 11 years, Paul has guided countless callers on his Drive Chicago radio show, as well. The show,
heard weekly at 8 a.m. on WLS AM890 in Chicago, is an audible version of what you'll find in print and online.
"There's a great deal of satisfaction I get when I hear back from someone who has asked for my advice and acted
on it with favorable results," said Brian. "The absolute best is when they write to let me know that it's their
second time looking for advice because the first time was so successful. I love that!"
