In Missouri, Mike and Frank stumble upon a labyrinth of curious finds during a freestyle pick. Down the road in Oklahoma, they tour a vintage car company where the owner's entire collection of retro relics is for sale. Meanwhile, the boys' crate of European treasure has landed in the States. And while Danielle handles logistics, Robbie delivers an expensive motorbike that may have been damaged during shipment.
This isn't your grandmother's antiquing. Pickers like Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off aballoon-wielding homeowner's land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the two men earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person's trash into another's treasure. American Pickers follows them as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind - and teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.
