Here We Go!
Ben tackles the appraisal of a 1950 Mercury Coupe Resto-Mod; Chris gauges the value of a 1941 Cadillac Series Sixty Special; Tom values a "one of one" 1960 Imperial Limousine, formerly owned by Nelson Rockefeller; then the guys have different ideas about a 1956 Corvette that's going to auction and place a friendly wager on the outcome.
Featured Guests: Todd Rucci (1950 Mercury Coupe Resto-Mod); Megan Klinger (1941 Cadillac Series Sixty Special); Hank Hallowell (1960 Crown Imperial Limousine); Lance Miller (1956 Chevrolet Corvette).
Fast and Wow!
Tom has the thrill of a lifetime appraising - and driving - a 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4; the heat is on as Chris nails the appraisal for a luxurious 2007 Maybach 62; and Ben is in his element as he appraises a 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia and a 2003 Saleen S7 super muscle car.
Featured Guests: Steve Waldie (2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, 2007 Maybach 62, 2003 Saleen S7); Tino Cantaffa (2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Coupe).
Sweet Rides
The Appraisers head to Hershey, PA, to put values on four "sweet rides." Chris delights in appraising a 1922 Pierce-Arrow, which may have been owned by Milton Hershey; then he appraises a 1936 Dirt Track Sprint Car, once owned by champion driver, Leroy Felty; Tom puts a big number on a rare 1957 Chrysler 300C; then Ben offers an agreeable number on a 1947 Ford Woodie Wagon.
Featured Guests: Keith Miller (1922 Pierce-Arrow Model 33, 1957 Chrysler 300C); Pamela Whitenack; Ron Woods (1936 Ford Flathead V8 Dirt Track Sprint Car); Andy and Leon Nardella (1947 Ford Woodie Wagon).
Healthy Competition
Nothing ignites healthy competition among car buyers and sellers, and our three appraisers, like an auto auction. Chris offers an acceptable figure on a hand-made Pedal Car Replica of a 1921 Duesenberg 183; then he sees green with a 1934 Lancia Augusta March Special Tourer; Tom is confident with his six-figure appraisal of a 1937 Packard 115C Station Wagon; and Ben says the sky's the limit when the bidding starts for a swank 1930 Cadillac V16 Roadster.
Featured Guests: Ken Kennedy (1921 Duesenberg Pedal Car Replica); Don Rose (1937 Packard 115C Station Wagon, 1934 Lancia Augusta March Special Tourer, 1930 Cadillac V16 Roadster).
Show and Tell
Tom, Chris and Ben love to attend car shows, where they find cool and hot cars that come with a wide range of stories. Chris drops anchor to appraise a 1964 770C Amphicar; Ben learns the heartwarming back-story of a 1970 AAR Cuda; Tom appraises a classic 1932 Hudson; then he strikes it big in his hunt for a rare 1973 Mohs Safarikar.
Featured Guests: Steven Montagna (1964 Amphicar Model 770C); John and Dave Soulsby; Dennis Nichols (1932 Hudson Greater Eight Rumble Seat Coupe); Scott Willetts (1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda); Mark Zaluko (1973 Mohs Safarikar); John Trotta (1970 AMC AMX).
The Amazing Chase
The game's afoot as The Appraisers travel to Buffalo, NY, and chance upon four engaging car chase stories. Chris offers his take on a 1937 Plymouth PT50 Truck; then it's fun, fun, fun with a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Woodie that was driven across Africa and also chauffeured the Beach Boys to one of their concerts; Ben is pumped to provide a figure on an all-original 1961 Pontiac Catalina; and Tom can't wait to put a value on the very last 1949 Playboy Coupe ever made.
Featured Guests: Nelson and Patrick Thorpe (1937 Plymouth PT-50 Half-Ton Pickup); Tommy Nolen (1961 Pontiac Catalina); Larry Nagode (1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Special Deluxe Woodie Wagon); Dan Gernatt (1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 42, 1948 Packard Custom Super 8); David Kaplan (1949 Playboy).
Great Expectations
When it comes to selling their vehicles, car enthusiasts are like any investor, they have great expectations. Ben encounters two differing mindsets as he weighs in on a 1969 Chevy Nova SS 396 and a 1987 Buick GNX; Chris offers clarity appraising a 1961 Ford Thunderbird; Tom presents reassurance for the owner of a 1966 Cadillac De Ville Convertible; then assesses the values of the Preston Tucker 1001 and 1026 cars from the Cammack Tucker '48 Collection.
Featured Guests: Lou Serra (1969 Chevrolet Nova 396 SS); Dave McCoy (1966 Cadillac De Ville Convertible); Allison Hallowell (1961 Ford Thunderbird); Troy Green (1987 Buick GNX); Jack Frank (1937 Buick Model 40C); Nadine Ball (1976 Porsche 912E); Ed Ullom (BMW 2002 Tii Turbo); Mark Lizewskie (1948 Tucker Sedan).
Ride On!
Over time, we all can develop a personal connection with a vehicle. As appraisers, Tom, Chris and Ben have learned those unique relationships - and a variety of other reasons - can influence an owner's decision to sell a vehicle or - to ride on! Tom knows a 1976 Mercedes 450 SL is a wise investment; Ben diagnoses muscle car fever appraising a '64 Pontiac GTO 389 and a '69 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 350; and Chris encounters human emotion in valuing a 1964 Chevy C10 truck, then a 1975 Oldsmobile Delta Royale Convertible.
Featured Guests: Matt Klinger (1964 Pontiac GTO); Rachel Graby (1964 Chevrolet C10 Pickup); Courtney Hallowell (1976 Mercedes 450 SL); Sid Palmer (1969 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 350); Rob Palmer (1969 Ford Bronco Half-Cab); Steve Moskowitz (1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Convertible).
