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

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".

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

[hemi24]

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.

thats kinda unfair, as it implies they might actually get some...... 

i'd prefer "those two enema bags"........

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]

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

[ACUDANUT]

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

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

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.

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]

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.
