American Pickers

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are faced with a massive property that presents a significant challenge. The estate houses an extensive collection of custom 1932 Ford cars, the largest they have ever encountered together in a single location on this property.

Catch‑32 is an episode‑style programme that follows the usual format of the series, focusing on automotive restoration projects. It presents a single instalment centred on a particular challenge, rather than a multi‑part series. The show sticks to its straightforward, hands‑on approach, giving viewers a clear view of the work involved. In this instalment, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are tasked with tackling a massive estate that houses an unprecedented array of customised 1932 Ford models. The property is vast, and the duo quickly discovers that the number of bespoke 1932 Fords on site exceeds any collection they’ve encountered before. Their job is to assess, restore, and possibly relocate these classic vehicles, a job that proves to be a considerable undertaking. The sheer scale of the project means Wolfe and Fritz have their work cut out for them. With so many custom‑built 1932 Fords in one location, they must prioritise which vehicles to address first, organise the necessary tools and resources, and coordinate the restoration process across the expansive grounds. The episode showcases the logistical challenges of managing such a large collection while staying true to the cars’ original character. Throughout the episode, viewers get a clear sense of the enormity of the task, as Wolfe and Fritz navigate the sprawling estate, evaluate each vehicle’s condition, and plan the steps needed to bring the classic Fords back to their former glory. Their collaboration highlights the practical aspects of large‑scale automotive restoration.
