Rick Dale’s show “American Restoration” was canceled by the History Channel after its seventh season in 2016. Following the cancellation, Rick has continued his restoration work at his shop, Rick’s Restorations, in Las Vegas.
Rick Dale became a household name with the debut of “American Restoration” on the History Channel in 2010. The show was a spin-off of “Pawn Stars,” where Dale had initially gained popularity for his meticulous restoration work. “American Restoration” focused on Rick and his team as they restored vintage items to their former glory, ranging from classic cars to antique vending machines.
The show enjoyed success and popularity for its first six seasons, with Rick Dale at the helm. However, in the seventh season, the format of the show was changed significantly. The History Channel decided to take the show in a different direction, featuring new cast members and multiple restoration shops instead of focusing solely on Rick’s Restorations. This shift led to a decline in viewership, and the show was eventually canceled in 2016.
After the cancellation, Rick Dale continued to operate his business, Rick’s Restorations, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He and his team remain dedicated to restoring a wide variety of historical items, and they have maintained a loyal customer base. Fans of the show and collectors still seek out his expertise. Despite the end of “American Restoration,” Rick has kept a relatively low profile, focusing on his craft rather than television fame. His shop is still a popular tourist destination for fans wanting to see the master at work or to purchase restored items and memorabilia. Rick occasionally makes public appearances and participates in car shows and other events related to restoration.
