The pickers are back in town...

HISTORY's Hit Series "AMERICAN PICKERS" Returns New Episodes Premiere Wednesday October 29, 9PM ET/PT

New York, NY - October 8, 2014 - Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are back in action transforming trash into treasure for brand new episodes of AMERICAN PICKERS, premiering Wednesday October 29, 9PM ET/PT.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz continue their mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk. In the premiere episode, viewers head to Virginia for a blitz strategy double down; Mike and Frank team up for picking in one corner of the state while Danielle partners up with Mike's brother Robbie to scour another. Mike and Frank visit a car and carriage museum where the jaw-dropping collection dates back to 1725, while Danielle and Robbie visit the cluttered home of a former antiques dealer.

In upcoming episodes, Mike and Frank stumble across a true barn find in South Dakota - an extremely rare 1935 Auburn convertible that's so hard to get to, the guys have to rip off the side of a barn to free the car. But the devil's in the details, because the appraisal reveals a price that will stun the owners. Also coming up, Dave Ort unveils the restored results of Mike's biggest ever investment: a classic 1910 Royal Pioneer motorcycle he bought two years earlier, and then it's coffin car vs. '32 Ford roadster when Mike and Frank take to the Cordova Dragway Park in a grudge match drag race, finally putting an end to the trash talk about whose car is best.

This is not your grandmother's antiquing. Mike and Frank earn a living by rescuing forgotten relics and giving them a new lease on life, and learn a thing or two about American history along the way.
