He said, “[This is] just a crazy good ornament. Look at that thing fly!

“Man, they built some killer stuff back then.”

“Check these two hood ornaments out just absolutely insane.”

‘BADASS!’

Fans flooded the comment section praising the TV personality for his cool find.

“Outstanding!” one wrote.

Another said, “That is something!”

“That’s sick, Robbie!” stated a third.

MEET THE CAST OF AMERICAN PICKERS

American Pickers has had a few cast changes, but the current season sees Mike Wolfe, Robbie Wolfe, Jon Szalay, and Danielle Colby scouring the nation for rare antique finds.

MIKE WOLFE

Iowa native Mike has been on the show since it first came out in 2010. The star originally started the show with buddy Frank Fritz , who suddenly left in 2021 amid a feud with Mike.

Mike has a collection of business ventures outside the show and also spends plenty of time with his model girlfriend Leticia Cline .

ROBBIE WOLFE

Mike’s brother Robbie has joined the show on plenty of antique hunts since Frank’s departure.

Like Mike, Robbie has an antique store to run when not on-screen.

JON SZALAY

‘Jersey Jon’ only became a full cast member in December 2023, but has plenty of history with the Wolfe brothers.

According to his History Channel bio, the newcomer is a ‘long-time picking pal of Mike Wolfe.’

DANIELLE COLBY

Danielle hit the screens with the team back when the show started in 2010, becoming known as the charismatic shop manager.

When ‘the Queen of Rust’ isn’t antique hunting, she can often be found sharing racy burlesque videos on social media and putting on shows around the country.

“Badass,” someone else mentioned.

This isn’t the first time Robbie dropped a pretty penny on a super vintage product.

MAJOR SCORE

Earlier this week, the official American Pickers Facebook page shared a throwback video of a purchase between Robbie and his co-star Jersey Jon , and a seller.

During their search inside a home in Michigan , the TV stars came into contact with an old dune buggy completely drenched in dust.

Robbie spoke about the vintage car, “You can’t think 1960s California without beach culture.

“The cars at the time were getting bogged down and stuck in the sand.”

He then went into the history of the dune buggy before negotiating a price with the sellers, eventually agreeing on $2,600.

In response to their major purchase, Robbie high-fived Jon.

Over the last few months, many fans have been wondering when they should expect new episodes of the antique show.

Robbie revealed that the American Pickers crew would return for their next season on October 15.
