American Pickers

In Arizona, Mike relives the thrill of speedway history thanks to a motorbike-loving family of adrenaline junkies and their garage full of one-of-a-kind racing mementos. Down the road in Georgia, Robbie and Jersey shake hands with visionary ‘body man’ Bill and scour a bad-to-the-bone collection that includes a vintage diner, a coin-op Porky ride, and a hand-built wooden Jeep.

On Chicago’s North Side, Mike and Jersey get VIP access to a sprawling historic home that features four floors of dazzling high-end antique toys. It’s an eye-popping, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And though collector Lou says he’s ready to pare down his stock, striking a deal will take patience, luck, and climbing the stairs.

On the coast of Southern California, Mike is hot for a bonanza of out-of-reach surfboards and rare signs–but he’ll have to dismantle the garage to get at them. Down the road in Vermont, Robbie and Jersey visit an historic homestead complete with a killer observatory and rusty classic cars as far as the eye can see.

Mike meets a passionate Connecticut picker with major inventory–but getting access to his collection means dismantling a massive, layered wall of stuff. Meanwhile, clear across the country, Robbie and Jersey comb through a California collector’s old-timey General Store, complete with one-of-a-kind displays and just about every vintage item under the sun.

In Minnesota, Mike and Jersey go hog wild for a four-generation carny collection complete with carousel horses, toy tanks, and bumper cars. Down the road in New Hampshire–on a special mission for Robbie–the guys head to Roger’s analog laboratory where the prices are off the charts, but so is Robbie’s offer to buy a 20-foot one-of-a-kind swimming lady.

Mike meets a kindred spirit at a defunct Wisconsin railroad town and uncovers vintage treasures and new old stock in a jaw-dropping space that’s frozen in time. Meanwhile in Illinois, Robbie becomes obsessed with getting a one-of-a-kind DeLorean knockoff back on the road.

Flying solo, Mike heads to the California castle home of the Great Razooly–a sculptor, entrepreneur, and horror icon whose one-of-a-kind collection includes monsters, gargoyles, and a custom rocket ship on the front lawn. Down the road in backwoods Maine, Robbie and Jersey visit Jack’s garage where the petroliana is hot and the picking is easy.

On a California dream pick, the competitive pinball-wizard Wolfe brothers meet coin-op king Dirk at his giant poultry barn turned private arcade. Mike and Robbie enter a huge hangar full of ultra-rare games and choice carnival relics and find Dirk’s prepared to sell off his massive collection to make way for a new passion–collecting classic roadside attractions.

From a Michigan man who was there, Mike learns about Evel Knievel’s rocket-powered Snake Canyon jump–and is determined to buy a one-of-a-kind billboard rescued from the site. In Minnesota, Jersey and Robbie battle the summer heat as they rummage through a late car-lover’s massive stockpile.
