DISCOVERY NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL HITS THE GAS ON SEASON TWO OF BREAKOUT SERIES "EXTREME CAR HOARDERS"
January 28, 2015
(LONDON, UK - January 28, 2015) - Custom car guru Rick Dore and former wrestling superstar Chuck Palumbo have unfinished business to tend to. The friends and business partners are back to build legendary cars and rebuild lives in EXTREME CAR HOARDERS, returning for an all-new season in 2015. Together in the new SLAM shop, they continue the epic hunt for neglected classics - searching through backyards, garages, and private lots of hoarders who can't seem to let go, sifting for one privileged car to receive the ultimate tune-up. EXTREME CAR HOARDERS, a 6x60' series produced by Discovery Studios, premieres internationally on Discovery Networks International's factual channels across more than 220 countries and territories beginning April 2015.
"EXTREME CAR HOARDERS is a global hit with viewers," said Elizabeth McIntyre, Vice President, Production & Development, Factual, Discovery Networks International. "Rick and Chuck are the perfect pairing - each brings a different vision, skillset and attitude to each project. The series gives viewers a unique and intriguing mix of car culture and hoarder habits, providing an unprecedented look at emotion in the car genre."
Each episode of EXTREME CAR HOARDERS features Palumbo and Dore helping car hoarders - in more ways than one - by offering the deal of a lifetime. They haul off the aging stash, sell what they can, and use the money to build the one-off car of the hoarders' dreams. The hoarder not only receives a sweet ride, but also a new lease on life. This is no smooth ride, however. Up against strict deadlines and sentimental ties with every set of wheels, Rick and Chuck gently delve into each of the hoarders' lives, rehashing the past and the history behind each hoard.
"Rick and I are thrilled to be back out on the road for another season of EXTREME CAR HOARDERS," said Palumbo. "We're both chasing a passion here, and helping people along the way is a huge bonus that comes with it."
"We'll hit some of the biggest hoards yet this season - digging for treasure in unlikely and unexpected places - and whether we turn a profit or not, the reward of unveiling that one-off dream car makes it all worth it," said Dore.
EXTREME CAR HOARDERS is a production of Discovery Networks International. The series is commissioned by Elizabeth McIntyre and executive produced by Victoria Noble for Discovery Networks International. Emi Macuaga is Executive Producer for Discovery Studios.
