Nope, even rebodied Corvettes with racing history don't bring that much. Regardless, they rebodied a 1993 Corvette and tried to compare it to a Bugatti and claimed it was worth $250K. Then they decided the perfect starting point for that was a 1993 front-engine Corvette? What they built had nothing to do with the sketches that this guy had allegedly been working on for 20 years. They ripped off the Peugeot 4002 (which wasn't even a concept car) in the sketches, which is definitely a mid-engine, cab-forward car. Then there's the alleged concept car that isn't a concept car. And that was allegedly done for a photographer with an eye for detail? And they supposedly got paid $60K for that work? Not a chance. Beyond that, the grill, the exposed rivets, the exhaust, the leather straps, and pretty much everything else they did to the car was all wrong aside from stretching the wheelbase. The body line isn't continued onto the engine covers, they used late 30s / early 40s headlights in a car meant to represent an early 1930s car, and the headlights neither point forward nor sit flush in the fenders. The windshield is at the wrong angle which leaves a half inch gap between the frame and the body in the corners. The skirts don't meet up with the fenders at the bottom, front or back. It creates a discontinuous curve with a hump at the fender to running board transition. They cut up two sets of generic 1932 Ford fenders and slapped them back together in roughly a decent shape and fiberglassed over the rivets. Some of these cars aren't even amateur quality builds (comparing them to multiple scratch-built cars I've seen from people who had zero prior experience).Ĭase in point, the alleged Delahaye replica where the only thing that looked remotely like a Delahaye was the paint color. If they took the money they claimed they were getting for the cars as shown on the show, they would have been sued out of existence long ago. A very emotional build, with more six-figure pieces, and the larger Gotham Garage family.I like the premise, and it's less annoying than most "reality" shows, but this show is faker than a three dollar bill. With all the unfinished builds we saw at the end of this season and some new faces, we can expect a lot more from Car Masters season 5 when it releases next year. And so, in good old Gotham Garage fashion. The drama is high, which is the foremost curiosity about the show’s longevity. Also, the controversial design concept car and bike duo are finally complete. We also saw them doing some extravagant builds like the one-off carbon-fiber-infused Chevy C3 Corvette for Jason Oppenheim and the fused rat-rod build using a T-Bucket and a Ranchero. But we also saw some great builds like the Porsche-powered Elite Laser 917 build, the gothic 1980s Chevy Blazer, and the Speedway Motors Lincoln Zephyr rat rod parts delivery van build. The fourth season of the show, indeed, had a very suspenseful ending. The only topic of the show is the customization of cars and therefore, very little attention is paid to the private lives of the team members and their personal stories on the show. In the show, a group of five works together to improve cars. The colorful crew at Gotham Garage overhauls an eclectic collection of cars and trucks, trading up to a showstopper they can sell for big bucks. The official synopsis for ‘Car Masters: Rust to Riches’ on Netflix reads. And we also have to be open to new faces that can be introduced in the probable season 5 of the show. So, if season 5 is to happen, we can also assume that these three will also make an appearance and probably have important roles. And Nick, in turn, brought in Brian and Jake, two experienced builders with experience in luxury vehicles. Broker- Shawn Pilot of ‘Three Kings’ fameĪt the end of season 4, we saw Mark inviting businessman and online vehicle auction website owner, Nick Smith, to join the business.Machinist and fabricator- Tony Quinones.Mechanics- Constance Nunes and Michael “Caveman” Pyles. He is of course assisted by an efficient crew that helps in the smooth functioning of the garage. Since the show, ‘Car Masters: Rust to Riches’ follows the Gotham Garage and its talented crew as they take over old wrecked vehicles and make them as fashionable as ever, we can expect the owner of Gotham Garage, Mark Towle, to make an appearance if there’s a chance for a fifth season.
