The reality show the American Restoration captivated our imaginations and had us all dreaming of finding our own hidden gems in the attic or garage. Rick Dale, the charismatic and talented mastermind behind the Restorations, became a household name as he breathed new life into forgotten artifacts.
But like any good story, this one was not just about the successes. It was about the trials, tribulations, and the ultimate transformation of the show itself. From the highs of record-breaking viewership to the lows of unexpected controversies and internal conflicts, American Restoration experienced it all. It was a series that, at its peak, seemed unstoppable, but like the very objects it restored, it faced challenges and changes that would test its resilience.
Join us as we uncover the untold story behind the Rise and tragic downfall of American Restoration!

This video is the equivalent of when your forced to write a 5000 word essay on a subject that could be told in 500 🤣
50***
Exactly!!! How many times did they mention the the producers of Pawn Stars were impressed with him just to use more words.
@@gomahklawm4446 😆
Yeah terrible
broooooo. i was just thinking that. WTF hahahahaha
I had Rick restore an antique stroller for me in 2018, it turned out great and I went to visit the shop when the item was done. I could tell at that point that the shop was declining - even though everything was "tourist-ready", there didn't seem to be much going on there. Still, the stroller was a beautiful piece of art and worth every penny. I'll never forget it.
This video repeats itself over and over - after the first 3 minutes, you may as well shut it off and live your life, just saying.
They got way too big for the business and over priced.
I really miss this show. Kind of sentimental to me, because my dad and I would watch it together. ❤
You mastered the art of long winded story telling.
Dude repeated himself over and over.
@@mray473the video I watched just before this did the same thing in a scifi storytelling format, pretty sure its whatever AI wrote the scripts for both has a bug in it XD
I loved the show. I went for a tour a few years ago and saw Rick. Got a nice wave too….
Like anything, it is tough to maintain a show like this. Work like this is extremely demanding as I restore things myself. Thank you Rick for the great memories.
I'm from Philippines. Our whole family loves this show very much. We would stay awake until 10pm every Sunday just to watch this show. He's just so pure, all about his passion and love for his works. 😢 So sad that this happened. I wish they would make their own channel here in youtube. ❤ I'll 100% support them if ever. 😢 Hope they are fine...
Bro this should have been a 6 minute video
At 17 minuets I'm tired of listening to all the talking. Mercy.
@@larryflanagan8799yep - that's the exact time that i too stopped watching
It was written by AI.
I agree they keep repeating themselves
To all the naysayers and bitchers, I personally am amazed and appreciative of the talent and dedication that some people have.
This video is a word salad that could have been done in 3 minutes
There are many nonsensically verbous videos on UA-cam.
I guess they can’t find editors?
It literally said the SAME thing 6 times over and over.
so basically, the ratings went down as the show got stale.. then it got canceled.. wow! that was a long video to get to that point.
Well thanks for that. After I got through a few minutes it became repetitive,so didn’t watch to the end. You summed it up in a few words for me.
@@gordonrosswhitehead5052 nobody got sick or died, no arrests, no rehabs, just the usual run-of-the-mill DUI and lawsuits
I used to like watching Dale, he did amazing work. In my opinion his downfall began when he got involved with and married that Whacky Woman and her even Crazier Son and included them in his show.
Agreed, I told my wife when he did... "She looks like a mile of bad road."
Generational drug abuse.
Sure, because we all know her very well from seeing her on TV a little bit, and can therefore judge her.
@@jackgilchrist if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, chances are it's a duck.
This narration is exhausting! In fact I think I need a nap before finishing my comments. That being said I do miss the cool projects.
it is painful!
I Miss That Show.... I So Loved It...
As my grandmother used to say "you are taking the long way around the barn".
I forgot all about this show. Sort of drifted away from it. It was a good show
This was a favorite show of mine. I was very disappointed when it was cancelled.
It was a good show but can run only so long.
This was a great show, Rick always said his sons would inherit the business when he retired so we wondered what the hell happened ?
they expanded way to big, way to big..I couldn't imagine the overhead at the last shop.something is missing in the story, he could of easily downsized and yet he works out of a warehouse and everyone is gone..something happened behind closed doors we don't know about..American chooper went from huge to small and Rick goes off the radar completely..
Surely an important factor (which is completely overlooked in this over-repetitive account) is that the fashion for heavy or over-restoration has diminished, since many want only light restoration or preservation of existing patina.
I liked the Show-!!! And I watched alot
I miss Rick's
Restoration
God, I’m so sick of the AI generated stories, repeating everything over and over again. I wish there was an option to filter out AI story telling channels from your UA-cam watching. But then, that would probably be 40% to 50% of the channels. Unfortunately
Let’s just keep repeating ourselves 😮
Rick Dale Age
Rick is 64 years as of 2022. He was born on December 13, 1958, in Las Vegas, USA.
Thank you! I was trying to figure out how he was a year younger than me when he looks 10 years older!
You keep showing a bunch of scenes that aren't even a part of American Restoration whatsoever👏👏
I have learned to do some things i almost forgot to do.🤔🤗
Everyone loves someone whos passion & determination showcases life & inspiration..
Hii i am from India and i daily seeing your show
I liked American Restoration better than Pawn Stars; both were fun to watch but as a mechanic American Restoration was more interesting for myself.
Loved the show
Best work I have ever seen and in Australia 🇦🇺 its the best show to watch still and every other shop has nothing on it 👌 sp I think it's good he left the seen 👍
Loved your show...Pauline
I loved this show so much. I have something that I'd want them to work on.
This guy is the Best of the best at what he does.
Rick also had a dispute with The History Channel over him wanting more money.
American Restorations ended in 2014, not 2016, when Rick was fired by the shows producers. Another show, totally different, was started and had none of the same people who had worked for Rick's Restorations. The new show couldn't hold the audience that the original show had, so it was cancelled.
As a regular attendee of the SEMA show in Las Vegas, I saw and met Rick there one time in 2012. He was the hired celebrity for the EVAPO-RUST booth. I'm looking at his autographed picture on my office wall right now. As far as Rick attending the show promoting his next business, I never saw it. Besides, the SEMA show only allows exhibitors directly related to the automotive industry.
As far as the audience was concerned, it included more than a "white" audience.
Then, did "Rick's Restorations" restore the "Munsters Coach" (or a re-creation), designed and built by George Barris, which had the aspects of a hearse or did he restore the other George Barris creation, the "Dragula"?
If so, then why is all the footage from "My Classic Car"?
This video took longer then it took to watch 6 years worth of the tv show. How many times did you say "Restoration" in this video? And yes we get it, the producers of Pawn Stars found Rick and gave him his own show. You said that 3 times in this video.
Haha, I said the same thing. I got to the 6 minute mark and they mentioned the spin off four times. Shut it off at that point.
Even at 2x.
Getting paid by the word
7:06 at this point does it seem like information is getting repeated n nothing new is being learned?
I THINK RICK SHOULD BE TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE HOW TO DO THIS THERE'S A WHOLE ANOTHER LEVEL THAT HE IS ON WHICH IS CALLED MUSEUM QUALITY RESTORATION .
DAVID ADAM GRENIS
This felt like a 23 minute run-on sentence.
He should move to where he can be appreciated, I liked his show.
the best restoration
My favorite letters are G and E. Couldn't help myself.
Well that was 24 mins of my life ill never get back
When you hear this guys voice you know you’re about to get a 20+ minute video that should have been 5🤦🏽♂️
Half the restorations shown were not from Rick's show but the short-lived show that took over Rick's show.
If they didn’t have tv. Shows they wouldn’t make a dollar.
His prices for restoration caused the value of old things to go up. But he did good work. Discovery seams to ruin things with drama they add to their shows for rating.
Обожаю этот сериал («Американская реставрация»), только понять не могу одну вещь: там, где я проживаю, в сериале нет первого и четвертого сезона, что, эти сезоны убрали по всему миру и их нигде нельзя посмотреть? И почему их убрали?
Translation yandex browser. The translation may be inaccurate !
I love this series ("American Restoration"), but I can't understand one thing: where I live, the series does not have the first and fourth seasons, what, these seasons were removed all over the world and they can not be viewed anywhere? And why were they removed?
Well i liked the show .. there take that
I live in Las Vegas, everyone in the area always said there was issues with items that they worked on, and Rick was a boozer. You can tell by his nose, he is or was an alcoholic for sure. I did like the show, and it was scripted for sure by the history channel.
All tv shows are scripted. Some of them just don't have actual actors.
The Munsters are the greatest TV show ever. I'm glad to see other people think that way 2
This the official version of taking and hour and a half to watch 60 minutes! Too long. Rinse, repeat, rinse repeat, rinse and repeat….. whew!
I enjoyed it.
Although his show was exciting to watch. Little did we know what happened behind the scenes. How many mistakes, how many failures, family arguments.
this video dragged on so much.
My guy said the same thing in 100 different ways. Talk about trying to money grab
You stated the story for 5 mins. and then stretched the vid out by repeating what you had already stated. Where was the, "fall"? That was clickbait.
Do you just straight copy and paste from ChatGPT? Without editing anything at all?
I always felt Rick Dale was as big a scammer as Rick Harrison.
One was a professional low baller, the other was a gouger.
Watched it all the time then one night they changed it to a series of restorations shops and that was it not good some nerve still calling it American restoration
Some of the restorations made no sense. For example, an old collectable bicycle would be restored at a cost of several thousand dollars when pristine original models of the exact same bicycle could be bought for a third or half the cost of the one restored on the show.
That said, the end result of the efforts put into the restorations shown on the show was always stunning, i will give them that.
As someone into silver plated antiques, there is a very very important point you are missing, and that is that you are missing the sentimental value that someone might have in the item. Something might be worth putting thousands and thousands into an item if it's a family heirloom and not always about flipping an item for profit. I mentioned silver plate because any restoration spent towards silver plate will almost never be recaptured if the person who did it tries to resell the piece.
That's the case with about any restoration.
I kept thinking the video had somehow skipped to the beginning several times repeating the same thing over and over and over......
I really enjoyed that show. There is a newer show with the same name with different people. Nothing good lasts forever.
I watched the show all the time until his son came on with his 2 tone color hair I just thought he goofed around to much and his brother who always wore flip flops..
Magic, It's done (except it not even the same model)! Bull!
This video could have been alot "shorter".
Seriously, knowledge, passion preservation took up 3/4 of this irritating video
Not going through this entire thing because , whatever baloney might be sold about it , it ceased being entertainment when fake drama and garbage sketches replaced the two stars of the show Rick and the object to be restored . All of the how to shows went this route and crashed and burned , as they should have .
Long winded boring. No like or subscribe here. Quit wasting people’s time.
Where's the "Fall" part
Where is the downfall?? 23 minutes of my life I will never get back....
8 mins I'm done never seen anything so repeatative, ridiculous couldn't imagine another 15 mins
Not to be confused with Dick Dale, the legendary surf music guitarist.
I left 2 1910 rare tricycles. And rics son ruined all the rubber on the wheels .my lawsui went for months by then he claimed bankruptcy
Was this written by AI, I’m 8 minutes in and have learned nothing
I liked Kowboy. That dude was funny
He started to get totally insane in his costs.
Miss that tv show would be could if it come back with his son...fouget his name but was long time ago lol
This needed an editor to reduce redundancy. This could have been a 5 minute video.
I survived another video that should have been an email...
Talk about a word salad.. this video should of been 3 minutes long, good grief!!
the voice speaks about Rick and all his accomplishments the title mentions the tragic downfall .... then uncovers the untold story behind the Rise and tragic downfall of American Restoration! the narrator never uncovered anything ..stupid but nice story ...just the same ..
How can I send an item to them for restoration?
How much kickback ($$$$) did you get for this? The longer, the more $$$$? Lots of repeats. Could have been half as long. It is put together very well tho.
The show was fine until they added too much drama and clowning around. I just wanted to see how items were restored.
How many different ways can you say "Rick Dale is a talented restorer"? Watch and find out!
is shop still open ?
I missing all those programs. Now a days is nothing. American Digger, Baggage battles.
I couldn’t make to the end! Can someone just tell me about the show’s downfall? 😂
merci cool
I think he used to OVER-restore STUFF and painted things in colors that were bad. i also got tired of his trophy wife prancing around....and pretty much being useless. HIs kid and her kid were pretty well spoiled and useless.
Just skipped to most replayed areas to avoid most of the repetition
OMG after repeated the same stuff 3 times over I had to skip to the end and still repeating everything
The way you took this a made it a long winded story and said the same thing over and over, dare I say you owe your listeners an apology for a huge waste of time when highlighting a really great show
Did Rick Dale write this video himself for a court dispute?
Like most of You're stories,long winded and not all accurate
About half of the video clips in this video, have nothing to do with Rick's Restorations.
After all that I still don't know what happened to American Restorations
Why were so many things repeated ? I thought I was going crazy 😜
I think his prices on restore was outrageously high
You got your facts wrong. There was 4 different shops on that show.
Jesus it was like a classroom full of 8 year olds was given 10 facts to write a story . Then all the papers were shuffled
Then stapled as 1 script. You are lucky I don’t sue you for lost time from my life.
I use to like this show but why so long video it a half a hour of my life I never get back
It feels like a 13 year old wrote the script for this.
