    The reality show the American Restoration captivated our imaginations and had us all dreaming of finding our own hidden gems in the attic or garage. Rick Dale, the charismatic and talented mastermind behind the Restorations, became a household name as he breathed new life into forgotten artifacts.
    But like any good story, this one was not just about the successes. It was about the trials, tribulations, and the ultimate transformation of the show itself. From the highs of record-breaking viewership to the lows of unexpected controversies and internal conflicts, American Restoration experienced it all. It was a series that, at its peak, seemed unstoppable, but like the very objects it restored, it faced challenges and changes that would test its resilience.
    Join us as we uncover the untold story behind the Rise and tragic downfall of American Restoration!

    I had Rick restore an antique stroller for me in 2018, it turned out great and I went to visit the shop when the item was done. I could tell at that point that the shop was declining - even though everything was "tourist-ready", there didn't seem to be much going on there. Still, the stroller was a beautiful piece of art and worth every penny. I'll never forget it.

    Surely an important factor (which is completely overlooked in this over-repetitive account) is that the fashion for heavy or over-restoration has diminished, since many want only light restoration or preservation of existing patina.

    American Restorations ended in 2014, not 2016, when Rick was fired by the shows producers. Another show, totally different, was started and had none of the same people who had worked for Rick's Restorations. The new show couldn't hold the audience that the original show had, so it was cancelled.
    As a regular attendee of the SEMA show in Las Vegas, I saw and met Rick there one time in 2012. He was the hired celebrity for the EVAPO-RUST booth. I'm looking at his autographed picture on my office wall right now. As far as Rick attending the show promoting his next business, I never saw it. Besides, the SEMA show only allows exhibitors directly related to the automotive industry.
    As far as the audience was concerned, it included more than a "white" audience.
    Then, did "Rick's Restorations" restore the "Munsters Coach" (or a re-creation), designed and built by George Barris, which had the aspects of a hearse or did he restore the other George Barris creation, the "Dragula"?

    Some of the restorations made no sense. For example, an old collectable bicycle would be restored at a cost of several thousand dollars when pristine original models of the exact same bicycle could be bought for a third or half the cost of the one restored on the show.
    That said, the end result of the efforts put into the restorations shown on the show was always stunning, i will give them that.

    • @gmgssilverplate
      @gmgssilverplate 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      As someone into silver plated antiques, there is a very very important point you are missing, and that is that you are missing the sentimental value that someone might have in the item. Something might be worth putting thousands and thousands into an item if it's a family heirloom and not always about flipping an item for profit. I mentioned silver plate because any restoration spent towards silver plate will almost never be recaptured if the person who did it tries to resell the piece.
