Wheeler Dealers Edd China and Mike Brewer are back for another season of finding and flipping cars! These two Brits have been fixing up old sleds since 2003 and have now decided to concentrate on the US auto market with millions of automobiles to choose from. And what a better way to start off the new season than with the most American “iron” out there, a C3 Corvette.
According to Velocity, “With nearly 120 episodes under the hood and more than $375,000 in profits made trading cars internationally, this season of Wheeler Dealers finds Mike and Edd based in scenic, coastal southern California where an incredibly eclectic car culture thrives. Mike seeks used vehicles, negotiating bargains with some tough, car passionate Americans.”
Additionally, “Wheeler Dealers is Velocity’s second highest rated series and a top franchise for Discovery Communications globally,” said Robert S. Scanlon, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Velocity and Automotive Content. “Mike and Edd have tapped into something everyone wants out of owning a car – getting a great deal and learning how to keep that prized ride road ready. At the same time the guys really enjoy their work and that pops off the screen.”
We chatted with Velocity Communication Director Andrew Scafetta and he was kind enough to send us a sneak peak of the episode. We both agreed this is a must see for Corvette fans everywhere.
Scafetta says “The guys do minor fiberglass repair, but pursue a lot more work under the hood including the ignition system, carburetor and brake calipers to get the car running like it just returned from the factory.”
The all new season of Wheeler Dealers begins TONIGHT, Wednesday, June 29 at 9 PM ET/PT on Velocity when the guys tackle a true piece of automotive Americana – a 1968 Chevy Corvette C3.
