This week, American Pickers offers a double shot of vintage-hunting goodness, promising a satisfying blend of gearhead grit and quirky Americana. In Arizona, Mike Wolfe immerses himself in the high-octane world of speedway racing, exploring a family’s impressive collection of memorabilia. Expect rare photographs, vintage leathers, and maybe even a few bikes with stories as wild as the riders who raced them.
Meanwhile, Robbie Wolfe and Danielle Colby Cushman head to Georgia, where they encounter a talented “body man” (because apparently “mechanic” is too pedestrian) and a truly eclectic assortment of collectibles. A vintage diner? Check. A coin-operated Porky Pig ride? Double-check. A custom-built wooden Jeep? Sure, why not? This segment looks to be a delightful dive into the weird and wonderful world of roadside attractions and forgotten treasures.
While the Arizona pick leans toward the specialized interests of motorcycle enthusiasts, the Georgia expedition offers something for everyone with its assortment of oddball Americana. Will Mike unearth a speedway legend’s lost helmet? Will Robbie haggle over the price of a perfectly preserved pie display case? The entertainment value derives from the thrill of the hunt and the unpredictable nature of the finds. Will any of these picks ever become museum-worthy artifacts? Probably not. But that’s never stopped the Pickers before.
American Pickers airs Wednesday, December 4 at 9:00 PM on History.
