American Pickers Stars Mike and Robbie Wolf have discovered an abundance of rare treasures while hunting for antiques. The antique experts travel across the country with the help of their History Channel co-star, Jersey John Chalet, searching for vintage items and rare antiques to add to their collections.

Here are the coolest bits of classic Americana the reality TV star brothers saved from being lost to time after they were found forgotten and collecting dust.

This week, American Pickers creator Mike Wolf, 60, took his vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle for a ride through Tennessee. The Antique Archaeology owner documented his travels riding the antique chopper on the Natchez Trace Parkway on his Instagram stories. Mike shared a video of the aged motorcycle, which featured a faded blue shade, parked on the side of the road. The bike was equipped with a large headlight and featured a rusty Harley-Davidson logo on the side. The motorcycle’s engine trumpeted as Mike circled the 1934 antique, revealing details of the rare automotive piece.

“Taking the 1934 Harley VL for a spin on the Natchez Trace,” the reality star wrote over the clip. Mike then shared a photo of the bike in front of Fly General Store in Santa Fe, Tennessee. “All stop and chill at Fly General Store for a moment,” he wrote.

Mike has been in the business of vintage motorbikes for quite some time. Jersey John jokes, “This is what they do on American Pickers,” as he and Mike Wolf attempt to fix a 109-year-old motorcycle. Mike owns Columbia Motor Alley, a car dealership in Columbia, Tennessee, with a full-service motorcycle repair shop and vintage bike display. The TV personality has two locations for his vintage shop, Antique Archaeology, one in Nashville, Tennessee, and another in his hometown of LeClaire, Iowa.

While fans await new episodes of American Pickers, which is set to premiere season 26 on October 15, the TV show has been sharing throwback clips on social media. Last week, a video showed Mike and his fellow picker Jersey John, 61, finding the rarest motorcycle in the world. Mike Wolf has created a business empire featuring real estate, antique stores, and more.

American Pickers is a reality TV series that premiered on January 18, 2010, on the History Channel. In the series, hosts Mike and Robbie Wolf travel across America in search of rare artifacts and national treasures that they can buy from collectors to add to their collections or sell in their antique shops, Antique Archaeology. Mike has two locations for his antique shop, one in Nashville, Tennessee, and the other in his hometown of LeClaire, Iowa.

Columbia Motor Alley is Mike’s love of transportation history and historic preservation combined. It’s a 1947 Chevrolet dealership turned restoration and merchandise shop. Two Lanes Guest House, a loft vacation rental in Columbia, Tennessee, Wolf’s Village Bike located in East Davenport, Iowa, Mossi Point, and ANC Productions are part of Mike’s film production company that has projects with A-listers such as Jason Momoa in the works.

As they headed to California to find antiques, the History Channel stars met a seller who had an old motorcycle mounted on top of a pole. This four-cylinder motorcycle is one of the rarest motorcycles in the world, John said in a confessional. “We’re not going to walk away from this chassis on a pole.” John is an antique expert fond of vintage motorcycles who first appeared in the series during season 7, which aired in 2012.

Mike asked John if he was interested in the bike, to which he replied, “It’s amazing that we had an opportunity to even find this bike in the wild. You just don’t see these things, it’s surreal.” Although Mike offered $10,000 with hesitation, John added another $2,000. The seller countered the TV personality’s offer with $12,200, to which Mike and John agreed. “I can’t tell you the last time I even had an opportunity to buy a 1941 Indian four-cylinder chassis,” John said, adding, “They don’t show up.”

Last week, Robbie Wolf impressed fans after acquiring a rare car manufactured over 70 years ago when he listed a 1947 Ford convertible for $116,000 on Instagram. On September 7, the reality TV star gave fans a closer look at all the details of the maroon car that has only ever been owned by one family. Robbie highlighted several vintage deal stickers still stuck on the car’s windows before cutting to a video of him cleaning up two Lee Tire signs for sale. They also dated the 1940s. “Everything for sale,” he wrote. The clip was set to an instrumental version of Guitar Tribute Players’ song “Beautiful Things.”

Robbie’s followers praised his latest acquisition in the comment section, with one person writing, “The window deals really make the car. What a time machine.” Another comment read, “Priceless Time Capsule.” A third person added, “Beautiful, I love the color!” A fourth user commented, “Yeah man, cruising to heaven.”

Replying to a fan inquiry about the sale price, Robbie confirmed the car and the tires were going for $116,000. Robbie’s antique car listing post came days after the collector revealed on his Instagram account that he had purchased a vintage hood ornament for nearly $2,000. Robbie shared a video flaunting his 1926 green Studebaker while showing off two of its intricate hood ornaments. One of them, a silver and red airplane, was already fastened to the front of the vehicle. The second piece was a vintage silver Studebaker eagle hood ornament with wings that flap, as Robbie demonstrated its functionality in the short clip. “Never seen one this big,” he explained to his followers. “Huge, large, and in charge. This is just a crazy good ornament. Look at that thing fly, man. They built some killer stuff back then.”

The Picker star captioned his post, “Back in the brass days and the early automotive days of America, they just built the most incredible accessories for cars.” Fans praised the bada** ornament that Robbie purchased for $1,800 in the comments, with one person writing, “Let’s bring them back!”

Robbie dropped $2,600 on a rare dune buggy in an episode clip shared on the History Channel series’ Facebook page. In the video, Robbie and Jersey John visited a brother and sister in Michigan whose late father had a large collection of antiques. The Picker stars rummaged inside the barn for valuables with the brother, Ryan, and discovered a dust-covered dune buggy. “You can’t think 1960s California without beach culture,” Robbie explained. “The cars at the time were getting bogged down and stuck in the sand, and in 1964 Bruce Myers developed the Myers Manx, the very first dune buggy.” He continued, “Robbie described the Myers Manx as a lightweight kit car that could be taken anywhere.”

John asked, “It’s on a Volkswagen chassis, right?” while the younger Wolf brother inspected the body. “The whole thing’s Volkswagen. 99% of these things were Volkswagen. They designed them off that chassis,” Robbie confirmed before revealing, “Unfortunately, this isn’t the Manx; this is the Imp that was made by a company called EMPI, and it was just a knockoff, but still very cool and valuable if built well.”

Ryan recalled, “I always remember it as the dune buggy.” Once Ryan’s sister entered the negotiation, Robbie stated that if the Imp was running, it would be worth about $8,500, but he added, “It’s going to take some doing to get it there.” He did admit that the dune buggy was “put together right,” and that’s a plus, before offering $2,500. The sister responded by setting the sale price at $3,000, and Robbie rebutted by offering $100 more. She smiled, looked at her brother, and accepted the offer, telling Robbie, “I think that works.”

Last month, Mike rejoiced after successfully reviving a $72,000 antique Lincoln. The restoration posted a video of the TV star’s car running on Instagram. The progress video showed a mechanic carefully reversing and driving Mike’s Lincoln Zephyr forward inside a garage. The TV personality’s antique automobile is valued at around $71,500 per the auction website Concours Cars. The post was captioned, “Finally got this baby rolling under its own power. Very exciting day! #LincolnZephyr.”

Mike reposted the video on his Instagram stories and, like some kind of car-obsessed Dr. Frankenstein, the reality TV star excitedly wrote at Afterman Performance, “Firing up the Zephyr. She lives!” Over the summer, Mike put his 1947 pickup truck on the market, and fans were swooning over its interesting features. The antique expert posted photos of the vehicle on Instagram, hoping to attract followers’ interest. Mike captured every angle of the maroon-colored truck, including the bed with wooden planks installed along the bottom.

In his caption, he pitched the restored vehicle to fans and noted that it was his primary form of transportation before moving to Tennessee. “Selling my 1947 Hudson pickup. This was a daily driver for a few years for me when I was home in Iowa. Older restoration, super clean, bone stock truck. This sucker has a long bed if you want to haul motorcycles. Price is $36,900,” Mike wrote. Fans swarmed the comment section to gush over the unique truck, and many pointed out that it looked unlike anything they’d seen before. “Absolutely gorgeous,” one fan said. “Man, that’s a beautiful truck,” another echoed. “Wow, that thing is wild looking, fits your style,” a third remarked.

Mike paid $4,000 for several rare Coca-Cola signs in a clip released ahead of the Season 26 premiere. The TV star has made his affinity for the soda maker’s signage known in the past, showing off a pricey sign from the brand while cleaning up his LeClaire antique shop. Mike appeared in a teaser clip from the upcoming American Pickers season, taking fans inside a pick in Alabama. He and Robbie scoured through an Alabama collector’s treasures until they happened upon numerous Coca-Cola signs.

“Those are Coca-Cola signs, and this Army-Navy surplus store got them all and painted them out in black and then lettered them with his store name,” the collector explained. “Now, I’ve got a picture of one that has been stripped. They look pretty dang nice once they’re done,” he went on to explain that a friend had done the restoration. “I’ve got a friend that has one of them. He stripped the paint off of it and restored it to a beautiful Coca-Cola sign, and I think it has a date stamp on it for 1948 or 1949,” he shared.

The collector had eight or nine of the signs, and Mike was extremely interested in some of them. Ultimately, Mike took a gamble on the signs, paying $4,000 for all of them. “I think the risk of the $4,000 purchase is all on Mike. I think the potential is tremendous, but if I’m wrong, he’s got a four-by-eight sheet of tin,” the collector said in a confessional.

American Pickers began in 2010, and its current cast includes Mike, Robbie, John, and Danielle Colby, 48. Earlier this year, the U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the series was renewed on the History Channel until 2027. Season 25 wrapped this spring after facing roller coaster ratings after its December 2023 premiere.
