For Immediate Release

TORONTO, March 7, 2023 – The ambitious team of Lost Car Rescue (6×60) return for a second season this spring, venturing deeper than ever into Canada’s remote wilderness in search of abandoned and valuable vehicles. Beginning Wednesday, April 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on The HISTORY® Channel and STACKTV, the Corus Studios distributed original series follows the car hunters as they find these treasured vehicles and bring their unique stories to light. Led by Matt Sager, each member of the Lost Car Rescue team plays a crucial role: the plane pilot, Jess; Steve “the wrench”; auto body expert, Dave; and crane operator, Lee. Using a fleet of speciality vehicles – including a 1946 Dodge Power Wagon, 1988 Freightliner, and 1948 Stinson plane – the team journeys 3,000 kilometres from their home base in British Columbia into Northern Alberta and Northwestern Ontario for an all-new adventure.

In the premiere episode, the team tracks down several historic vehicles in the remote region of Rainy River, in Northwestern Ontario. Travelling this far poses a massive risk as expenses add up quickly and time is money. They must fill the rig with as many valuable cars as they can find to make the trip worthwhile.  As Steve and Lee compete with Dave to fill the remaining spots on the semi’s trailer, Matt and Jess hit the skies in search of a historic railway truck to assist a local museum.  Faced with Ontario’s dense forests and expansive lakes, the duo quickly realize they will need help finding the lost truck. Luckily, with the assistance of locals, including a floatplane pilot and an eleven-year-old explorer, Matt and Jess just might strike gold.

Throughout the season, the crew travel across the country searching for various unique finds, including a car allegedly owned by America’s most famous mobster, Al Capone, and an iconic 20th-century vehicle from the oil boom. Despite having to work through mass floods, a broken crane rig and a race against a mobile crusher threatening to destroy the treasures they aim to save, the team always finds a way to make it work. Faced with this many new challenges forces them to be creative, expand their skills, learn to delegate and take on new roles in their quest to find and save automotive treasures.
