Cars for Second Season of What's in the Garage TV Show - Thread 2




We start shooting our second season on January 9th, 2012 and we're going to a lot of cool cars.


What we're looking for...

We're looking for a wide spectrum of vehicles to choose from, this means new, exotic, classics, hotrods, streetrods, antiques, basically anything you could call Special Interest with some kind of human interest story.


Here are a few more criteria for having your car on our TV show.

• Vehicle must lend itself well to a detailing tip or technique - This is basically a show-n-tell session.
• Vehicle must be in in good physical condition, that is no dents or wrecks
• Vehicle must be brought to Autogeek's facilities

Since most people own, drive and work on "new" cars, (less than 10 years old), we're looking a selection of new cars, truck and even S.U.V's for the show.

We also want "COOL" cars that will attract "Car Enthusiasts" and "Do-it-yourselfers".


If you live within driving range of Stuart, Florida and would like to have your car considered for use on the second season, then send me an e-mail with a picture of your car.

This last Saturday night I went to another local car show to find unique and special interest vehicles for the second season of our TV show.

I apologize ahead of time for the lousy photos, I brought my trusty, dusty Canon with me but somehow left the memory card in my work computer, so I made do with my iPhone 4, looks like it's time to upgrade to the iPhone 4s just to make sure I always have a good camera with me wherever I go...


With that said, I spoke with most of the owners of the cars below and except where noted all have agreed to let us use their cars on our TV show.

I've sent the link to this thread to Butch McCall and Ted Jones, the producers for our show so they can make the final decision as to which cars make the cut or not...
