Press Release
(Los Angeles, CA)– Every
guy’s ultimate four-wheel fantasy becomes his worst nightmare when he is forced to choose between the cash he desperately needs and the
classic ride he always knew his clunker could become in Discovery Channel’s all
new series, HIGHWAY TO SELL premiering on September
1 at 10PM ET/PT.
Across America, neglected classic cars are waiting to be restored and make their way back onto
the street. Enter
Dennis Pittsenbarger and “Slick.” Over
the years, automotive expert Pittsenbarger has made a name for himself in the
car world. A walking encyclopedia of automotive history and design,
Pittsenbarger is a long-time race car
driver with a working knowledge of nearly every car make and
model ever made. His partner in chrome,
mechanical mastermind Slick, has retooled hundreds of cars in his 12,000 square ft. Florida
shop, and created period-perfect
movie cars for Hollywood Films.
Rather than just
buying broken down vehicles from their owners, the pair deals differently. Dennis, Slick and their team spend their own money and time
working to restore the car to its former glory. However, once they are done,
the car goes to auction where the owner has a difficult
choice to make: take a cut of the profits, or buy
their cherished ride back at a discounted rate.
Will the owners choose to
let go of their beloved
classics and walk away with the cash, or will
the thought of seeing their dream car in the hands of another be too much to handle? It’s cash vs. classics in the all new series, HIGHWAY TO SELL.
HIGHWAY TO SELL is produced for
Discovery Channel by Twelve02 Television, where Jim Casey is executive
producer. For Discovery Channel, Joseph Boyle is
executive producer with Todd Lefkowitz as associate producer.
