American Pickers - Season 26

From a Michigan man who was there, Mike learns about Evel Knievel's rocket-powered Snake Canyon jump--and is determined to buy a one-of-a-kind billboard rescued from the site. In Minnesota, Jersey and Robbie battle the summer heat as they rummage through a late car-lover's massive stockpile.

On a California dream pick, the competitive pinball-wizard Wolfe brothers meet coin-op king Dirk at his giant poultry barn turned private arcade. Mike and Robbie enter a huge hangar full of ultra-rare games and choice carnival relics and find Dirk's prepared to sell off his massive collection to make way for a new passion--collecting classic roadside attractions.

Flying solo, Mike heads to the California castle home of the Great Razooly--a sculptor, entrepreneur, and horror icon whose one-of-a-kind collection includes monsters, gargoyles, and a custom rocket ship on the front lawn. Down the road in backwoods Maine, Robbie and Jersey visit Jack's garage where the petroliana is hot and the picking is easy.

Mike meets a kindred spirit at a defunct Wisconsin railroad town and uncovers vintage treasures and new old stock in a jaw-dropping space that's frozen in time. Meanwhile in Illinois, Robbie becomes obsessed with getting a one-of-a-kind DeLorean knockoff back on the road.

In Minnesota, Mike and Jersey go hog wild for a four-generation carny collection complete with carousel horses, toy tanks and bumper cars. Down the road in New Hampshire--on a special mission for Robbie--the guys head to Roger's analog laboratory where the prices are off the charts, but so is Robbie's offer to buy a 20-foot one-of-a-kind swimming lady.

Mike meets a passionate Connecticut picker with major inventory--but getting access to his collection means dismantling a massive, layered wall of stuff. Meanwhile, clear across the country, Robbie and Jersey comb through a California collector's old-timey General Store, complete with one-of-a-kind displays and just about every vintage item under the sun.

On the coast of Southern California, Mike is hot for a bonanza of out-of-reach surfboards and rare signs--but he'll have to dismantle the garage to get at them. Down the road in Vermont, Robbie and Jersey visit an historic homestead complete with a killer observatory and rusty classic cars as far as the eye can see.

On Chicago's North Side, Mike and Jersey get VIP access to a sprawling historic home that features four floors of dazzling high-end antique toys. It's an eye-popping, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And though collector Lou says he's ready to pare down his stock, striking a deal will take patience, luck and climbing the stairs.

In Arizona, Mike relives the thrill of speedway history thanks to a motorbike-loving family of adrenaline junkies and their garage full of one-of-a-kind racing mementos. Down the road in Georgia, Robbie and Jersey shake hands with visionary 'body man' Bill and scour a bad-to-the-bone collection that includes a vintage diner, a coin-op Porky ride, and a hand-built wooden Jeep.

While on a doomed special mission for Mike in Florida, Robbie and Jersey pick through a mechanical wizard's jaw-dropping stockpile of petroliana and drag-race memorabilia. Down the road in California, Mike sidles up to a one-of-a-kind family heirloom--a mint-condition Harley three-wheeler whose story is as powerful as the piece itself.

In the sprawling basement of a legendary classic car showroom in Connecticut, Mike and Jersey pick through a monster lifetime collection. But the thrill of the chase is nothing compared to a joyride in a flame-shooting 1908 Locomobile. Down the road--at a dazzling 1950s gas station in Georgia--Robbie shifts gears when a first-time seller says he's prepared to make a deal.

In Alabama, Robbie and Jersey go hog wild for Edd's classic car collection and bad-to-the-bone boneyard—but he's reluctant to let anything go. Mike has a once-in-a-lifetime brush with country music stardom as he combs through the dazzling belongings of the legendary Hank Williams Jr. 

In L.A., Mike and Robbie head back to a fifth-generation demo business and junkyard that's piled so deep that most of its treasures are out of reach. Down the road in Florida, the `Judge' plays mind games as the Wolfe brothers sift through his monumental collection of petroliana and rusty gold.

At a four-generation family homestead in Illinois, Mike uncovers the mother lode of saloon relics and gambles big money on an ultra-rare slot machine. Down the road in Vermont, Robbie and Jersey try to broker a deal with a Mack truck fanatic who's keeping a tight grip on his prized possessions.
