American Restoration was canceled after its seventh season. The show originally aired on the History Channel and focused on the restoration of vintage items. It was produced by Leftfield Pictures and featured Rick Dale and his team at Rick’s Restorations.
The show debuted in 2010 and quickly gained popularity for its unique look into the restoration of classic American items, ranging from vintage gas pumps to antique slot machines. Rick Dale first appeared on the show “Pawn Stars” as a restoration expert before being given his own series.
After the initial five seasons, the format of the show changed significantly. The original cast, including Rick Dale, was not part of the new format that began with the sixth season. Instead, the show featured a new cast and highlighted different restoration shops across the United States. This shift in focus and cast change did not sit well with many of the show’s original fans, and viewership declined.
The decline in ratings and the change in the show’s format are believed to be the main reasons behind the cancellation of “American Restoration.” After the seventh season, the show was not renewed, and no new episodes have been produced since. Despite its cancellation, “American Restoration” remains popular among fans of restoration and Americana, and past episodes continue to be aired in syndication and are available on various streaming platforms.
