North American muscle car expert Jim Bodanis has a rather tidy collection of his own, but he always admired the dentist’s car when he was growing up. Being able to locate one as an adult was a personal sign of success for Jim He takes us on a tour of this wolf in sheep’s clothing: the 1970 Chevelle SS LS 6 4 speed, one of the seven 4-speeds out of a production line of 4000. One of the most sensational classics of the 1930s is the 1931 Avions Voisin C-20, known as the Mylord Demi-Berlin. This one-of-a-kind automobile owes its unique design to the engineering genius of a French aircraft designer, Gabriel Voisin. The interior feels like the cockpit of a plane, and the exterior looks as if it could be owned by Cruella de Ville… this became the iconic design of the time period.

S2 E5
Ghosts In The Machine,
These car collectors have gone to extreme lengths to restore a Maxwell, Pierce-Arrow, and Pontiac Safari to their former glory, but if you ask them why their stories will often have more to do with restoring a long-lost past than with the cars themselves!

S2 E6
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly,
Coachbuilders and car manufacturers of yesteryear have crafted and engineered vehicles that are still revered today for their design, ingenuity, and character, will today’s vehicles stand the test of time like the Stutz and Miss Julia’s “Cinderella Carriage” did?

Buying, Driving, And Living,
A collector’s car choices don’t always have a logical reason behind them, and car detective Bill Sherk thinks he knows why… maybe he can explain why Al Jordan hasn’t given up on his ’52 Studebaker and Jasper Kaiser won’t touch a classic born outside of Canada.

S2 E9
The Innovators,

Smoke And Mirrors,
Show off cars have been around for as long as there have been show-offs… and the two often find themselves together; for the over-engineered Deux Chevaux, the 8 foot tall National owned by an infamous flim-flam man, and an over-the-top Mopar designed to seem powerful… their looks are just as interesting as their stories.
