Aero426 · October 13, 2011, 07:23:55 PM

Those two douche nozzles pretending to be car guys wouldn't know a Talladega if it hit them.

jonw29 · October 13, 2011, 08:34:32 PM

Ya that is the one.The boys probably thought it was just an old fairlane.....

I love the show but sometimes I wonder why they buy some of the things they do. Anyways, I kept laughing when Frank bought that Ford Model A. The car was either a 3 window coupe or a 5 window coupe but either way, it was a COUPE. They kept calling it a Model A "Roadster".

They seem to be less on the ball than Mike and frank. Picker stickers

nascarxx29 · October 14, 2011, 07:58:41 AM

That one show they were asking about a dealership sign they saw outside .Guy Ken let them in he had a silver 68 RT coronet ragtop with a hemi.They walked past no mention .Was never aired but they found a green superbird on one road trip

ACUDANUT · October 14, 2011, 09:56:58 AM

Anybody from Iowa ever been to thier shop ? Tell the girl her tattoo's like like crap.

Not much of a storage building....Where do they keep all their junk ??

hemi24 · October 14, 2011, 10:27:54 AM

I seen the episode with the silver 68 RT coronet ragtop they walked by i like to know how you knew it was a hemi i looked all over the video of that scene i couldn't see that very cool car though ?

That is because the building is a prop, or a storefront if you want to call it that. The "business" didn't exist until Mike got the deal to do the show.

I know the car and where it is at. Wasn't far from my old school.

And yeah, the shop I show in the pictures is just their storefront.

Really, how did these 2 guys get to be so lucky in getting a business with a show. ??

TheAutoArchaeologist · October 14, 2011, 05:05:50 PM

They pitched it for years. They finally got someone to bite. And they started the company and started driving around.

ACUDANUT · October 14, 2011, 05:12:09 PM

So, where is the real store or warehouse ? Could you go visit and buy something ?

TheAutoArchaeologist · October 14, 2011, 05:23:34 PM

All the stuff they really want to sell is at the storefront. They have a storage place nearby with odds and ends. But they also wholesale stuff to like Portillos and other places.

You can go to the store I posted above.

65post · October 14, 2011, 05:56:54 PM

I got so I can`t bring my self to watch anything on the TV anymore.It is ALL crap.I do like watching these guys though....

Aero426 · October 14, 2011, 08:32:29 PM

It took years of work by Mike Wolfe to get anyone to bite on the idea. In the beginning, it was just him on the demo tapes. Well, they couldn't just have him talking to himself, so that is where Frank came from. Danielle and the building came after Mike got the deal to do the show. The money is probably not in what they do, or buy, or resell. It doesn't matter if they pay too much for the wrong car. The real money is in the deal they have to do the show. They have to have people to handle the scouting and prepare for the shoots in advance. There is no such thing as just driving up to some dudes house and asking to look around, LOL. You have to remember that this is entertainment.

dads_69 · October 14, 2011, 10:09:09 PM

So the real question here which was asked not long ago in another topic, are they gay? I say yep

Well... I do that all the time. I just don't record it! And they let me see their stuff....

They never do mention Women or getting lonely ?

41husk · October 15, 2011, 03:04:36 PM

they have mentioned on many shows the a women was easy on the eye. I could care less if they are, infact if they are gay, it just leaves more women for the rest of us

Daytona R/T SE · October 15, 2011, 04:49:36 PM

I got a report today that the pickers were spotted in

Litchfield, Illinois yesterday.....

Lock up your junk!

Old Moparz · October 15, 2011, 09:18:04 PM

The show is okay, but I can only watch them picking through so much of the same stuff over & over. I'll flip channels & leave it on for a bit, then move onto something else, like Jack La Lane's healthy juicing machine. In the beginning it seemed like they were just flippers taking advantage of people. Then there was one episode where they bought a pair of old, hand painted, carnival banners cheap from a guy trying to restore an old amusement park that was vacant, & then damaged during the restoration by a flood. They sold them for over $10,000, then went back to the guy they bought them from & gave him half to put towards the amusement park & changed my view of them.

dads_69 · October 16, 2011, 02:11:03 AM

Ok, well then they are nice gay guys then? None the less, I'm done watching them, they are boring and overreact way to much when they discover something hidden *supposedly*. Give the tall putz' an old Schwinn bicycle and he'd be ecstatic for a week, lol...........

nascarxx29 · October 16, 2011, 03:52:40 AM

They found a superbird ..But no TV footage

Just imagine how extra ecstatic he'd be if the old Schwinn has an original, flowered basket mounted on the handle bars.

I'd be more interested in seeing some of the places they go to in person just to look around. I love old abandoned buildings & junk.

41husk · October 16, 2011, 09:21:39 AM

I wouldn't mind them comming in and taking some junk off my hands, but they seem to only cherry pick. After they left I would still have all my junk and they will be turning a proffit on my treasures.

Ghoste · October 16, 2011, 09:28:15 AM

And they'd do their best to beat you down to giving your stuff away so they could put it on tv and let the whole world know that you were a fool and they were master "pickers".

ACUDANUT · October 16, 2011, 09:53:17 AM

Let's face it. We are all just jealous we can't make a ton of money on TV doing what we love. I doubt they are gay. On the other hand, neither of them ever calls home and talk to a wife or girlfriend.

41husk · October 16, 2011, 11:24:35 AM

I honestly thought tatoo girl was doing mike

Then at one point I thought she was doing the other guy

Maybe she is doing both

TheAutoArchaeologist · October 16, 2011, 11:46:43 AM

Both guys has g/f's. They have mentioned that before on the show.

And the Superbird the Pickers didn't find, someone posted it on their facebook page.
