American Pickers

The guys reckon petroliana is plentiful in the Lone Star State, but tracking down a Texas-sized honey hole proves much trickier than expected. Still in search of a big-ticket trip saver, the guys move on to Illinois where they uncover one of the coolest cars they’ve ever seen. Meanwhile, in order to make a decent profit, Mike ups his $30,000 gamble on a Harley Knucklehead.

In Kansas, Mike and Frank meet an octogenarian artist whose collection includes a shrine to each of his six ex-wives and every other woman he’s ever been with. Picking a fellow picker, the guys visit a sprawling junkyard that’s packed with rusty gold. Meanwhile, back in Iowa, Danielle discovers the guys have been keeping an expensive secret from her.

With a line-up of hair-raising Halloween picks, the guys crawl back underground in Pennsylvania in search of the “Mole Man.” Later, the guys look for rusty relics at an abandoned Oklahoma amusement park. In Missouri, Mike and Frank tour a former penitentiary with a seriously spooky vibe. Notorious for hauntings, the massive institution is one of the darkest and creepiest places they’ve ever picked.

Leaving Italy behind, the guys drive clear across the continent to England where they haggle over an iconic red phone booth with a raunchy urban past. Next door, a British eccentric’s garage is packed with motorized treasures. Down the road, the guys excavate a wall of junk, and Mike makes a mammoth bid on an ultra-rare motorbike. Meanwhile, Danielle and Robbie head to Oklahoma where their mega bumper car deal hits a series of snags.

On the third leg of their Italian adventure, Mike and Frank head south to Sicily where an American contact agrees to show them around. In a treasure-filled home, the guys try haggling over prices, but soon learn that Sicilian negotiating tactics include guilt and espresso! Looking for rare scooters, the guys visit a hardcore motorcycle collector and seal the deal on a rusty three-wheeled beauty. Later, the search is on for a very specific vintage Vespa.

Mike and Frank are in Italy where they’re determined to fill a shipping container with awesome artifacts they’d never find at home. With their translator Fred in tow, they follow a series of leads to an Italian mega-pick in Bologna. Down the road in Rome, they scour a sprawling collection that’s stored underground in Roman catacombs where they fall for a skeletal Fiat 500 that’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.

In search of a rare race car for an important museum client, the guys travel to Italy for what could be the biggest deal of their lives. But when their dolce vita dream goes bust, they hit the road and start picking. Outside Venice, Mike’s old friend Flavio has a sweet collection of retro motorbikes. Plus, he puts the guys back on track with a series of leads and an energetic interpreter.
