    On Saturday, 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.

    HOT WHEELS

    Robbie highlighted several vintage decal stickers still stuck on the car’s windows before cutting to a video of him cleaning up two Lee Tire signs for sale.

    “They’re 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 comments section, with one person writing, “The window decals really make the car. What a time machine!”

    Another comment read, “Priceless time capsule.”

    A third person added, “Beautiful, I love the color,”

    “Yeah man, cruising to heaven,” a fourth user commented.

    Replying to a fan inquiry about the sale price, Robbie confirmed the car and the tires were going for $16,000.

    RARE FINDS

    His post comes days after the History Channel star revealed on his Instagram account that he had purchased a vintage hood ornament for nearly $2,000.

    On Friday, Robbie posted a video flaunting his 1926 green Studebaker car while showing off two of its 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.”

    Fans praised the “very cool” ornament that Robbie reportedly purchased for $1,800 in the comments, with one person writing, “Let’s bring them back.”

    AMERICAN PICKERS’ NEW SEASON

    Robbie’s latest Instagram posts come ahead of the release of season 26 of American Pickers next month.

    The cast, including Robbie, his brother Mike Wolfe , Jersey Jon, and Danielle Colby , are filming new episodes of the reality series that were renewed earlier this year.

    Robbie confirmed on social media last month that all new episodes of American Pickers will be released on October 15 .

    On Instagram, he posted a photo of himself sitting with crew members on the porch of a rustic cabin, with the caption, “Filming another season of American Pickers.”

    He revealed the release date before adding, “See you soon.”
