Dave Kunz - Automotive Specialist SoCal KABC 7 Eyewitness News

Dave Kunz has been an employee of ABC7 for a quarter-century,
becoming the Eyewitness News Automotive Specialist in February
2001. In addition to his duties as a photographer and editor, his
on-camera work makes ABC7 the only station in Southern California
with a dedicated reporter covering automobiles and related
topics. 


Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, Dave always gravitated
toward the Southern California car culture that was all around
him. His television career started in an unusual way, however.
Dave was offered a "temporary, part-time job" at KABC-TV while in
college as a business major. Though business would always be
something to fall back on (keeping his family happy),
broadcasting was continually calling his name. He went on to a
formative career in television, first at KTLA and then back at
KABC. 


Eventually, Dave was able to merge his career in television with
his passion for things with wheels, and now gets to experience
just about anything that runs on gasoline (or increasingly, clean
new cars that don't use any), and bring them to Eyewitness News
viewers. He is a member of both the Motor Press Guild and the
Society of Automotive Historians. Dave also volunteers as an
emcee at local vintage car shows such as The Friends of Steve
McQueen Car and Motorcycle Show, the Palos Verdes Concours
d'Elegance, and the Art Center Car Classic. 


Dave spends his free time with his wife, Suzanne, who helps him
keep a small collection of classic cars in (usually) running
order.
