We’re producing a car renovation series in the Southeast that’s going into its 2nd season called My Dream Car.
The premise of the show is that we are looking for people who are in the process of gifting a car to a loved one that has significant meaning to them. We are looking for that car to have a connection with the person getting it, specifically, it used to be their first car or it was a car that someone close to them used to own. Once the car has been identified, we would like a shop to be able to help touch it up (6-8 weeks max) which we can help with some costs while the rest comes from the owners. Stories we’d like to showcase are as followed:
Finding the exact car that someone used to own (Can be exact by serial numbers or just the same color/model)
Restoring an older car that is on the property, but hasn’t been used in years and that the person used to own or had been in the family for years
Finding someone’s dream car that they’ve always wanted to own or that maybe a family member used to own and now they want the same car.
We are also open to other stories that do resemble this. The keys are it being a surprise, dream car with a specific connection, and it being a gift. This would be a great opportunity for a car restorer or dealership -who may have these types of clients- to showcase their skills on television & their business.
CASTING CAR LOVERS & CAR RESTORATION EXPERTS!
Do you have a loved one who is trying to find a car they used to own or were constantly around it when they were younger?
Do you want to find the car for them and give it to them as a gift?
Is that dream car currently on your property and needs to get touched up so you can give it to that person?
Are you a restoration expert who have clients who fits this criteria?
Then we want to hear from you!
Warm Springs Productions are looking for people who have one special family member or friend who always talks about their favorite car they used to have or it has been on a property untouched for years and needs to be restored.
This series is going into its 2nd season for a major cable network and would showcase individuals chasing down a dream car for someone they love who always dreamed about reuniting with their car. The show would document the journey of finding the car, touching up the car (1-2 months worth of restoring), and then surprising them with it as a gift. If you are a car restoration expert or a car dealer who has a client who fits this criteria, this would be a perfect way to document your restoration and dealership experience on a national platform. There are a ton of benefits for being chosen to be on this show as we can help with the costs for the car.
My Daddy was murdered on September 2, 2022. My Daddy bought my sister a 56 Chevy Belair to gift her when she turned 18. Unfortunately my sister was 16 when our beloved Daddy died. I currently have the 56 Chevy Belair in my backyard and I don’t know how or when I’ll be able to start it because I’m continuously fighting for Justice for my beloved Daddy. Which I’m sure you know takes all my time and money. I would love to nominate my sister to you. She’s only 16, but she’s been dreaming of this car being hers since Daddy bought it in 2017. As my Daddy planned, I’ll be gifting it to my sister on her 18th birthday or sooner if I can get her nominated for one of your amazing seasons. I’ve been writing down all the wants she has for her car and I will continue to secretly ask and document her wants. I know that it need the axles replaced because it was previously a racing car or that’s what my Daddy and Grandpa told me. There’s also a bullet hole in the trunk. My Daddy was shot at in a road rage incident while driving it. I don’t know everything about it and after probate it should be in mine and my sisters name. This car is everything to my sister. She spends hours just sitting in it to be close with our Daddy. My Daddy had so many plans for it for her and I keep hoping I find all those ideas jotted down somewhere. My family and I would be overjoyed to have your help in making my sisters dreams come true as she learns to go through some of her biggest milestones without our Daddy. Thank you for your time.
My husband has a 1995 Camaro z28 that he hasn’t been able to drive since 2006. It would be amazing if MY DREAM CAR would help me surprise him with restoring it.
I have 1982 corvette that I want my grandson to inherit but first it need renovation. I am too old to restore but could help with project.
My husband just gave me a surprise party and a 1965 Ford Mustang for my 50th birthday. He searched for this car for almost 2 years and had great difficulty in finding it. About 7 months before my birthday he found one 2.5 hrs north of us in Seattle Washington. He and a very close friend of mine traveled to Seattle under the pretense of taking a friend to the airport. My husband is a simple man and doesn’t own or carry a cell phone so all of this Grand planning and scheming was very difficult to accomplish. He found the car and negotiated the purchase in January 2022 with cash from his retirement account because I have notifications sent to me when any money goes in and out of our accounts for the purpose of catching fraud, which also added to the difficulty of keeping this all a surprise. My friend then insured the car and my husband paid her cash too. He then drove the Mustang 2.5 hrs South and parked it in a storage unit 15 minutes from our home for 6 months until the surprise party. He coordinated with my friend to get me out of the house for a few hours to set up for the party. When we got here there were many people here, I was comply surprise, I had no idea. He thought I would see the car parked in the driveway next to other cars and that I’d ask about it but I was so busy visiting with friends that, that never happened. Another friend told him to pull it up closer to the front while I was inside getting food. As I came out many friends were holding up their phones towards me. This puzzled me greatly. When I saw the car with #50 (magnets) on the hood and doors I was in complete shock. I had no idea. It did not seem real. I then began to cry with disbelief and joy. This was truly a magnificent day. The party celebration the guests the decorations the food the cakes and the CAR! It was truly over the top. We have many pictures of that day and three different angles of video from friends. We have been together for 31 years and married for almost 29. We have always talked about and admired this car greatly since the first day we were together. I never dreamed that I’d own one. I love this car! My husband has already replaced the drum brakes with disc brakes. He also ordered new suspension springs that we just received today so he can replace the bad springs. He has also talked about replacing the distributor and the radiator. But really when he bought the car it was in good running condition. It has a great paint job on it with the exception of a quarter size ding/paint chip in the center of the hood. The previous owner said that happened from a box falling out of a truck hitting the hood. We are the third owners the original owner was from California. I know this story does not meet all of your checked boxes since the reveal has already happened and the car did not get restored before the surprise. But it truly is a great dream car story.
Camry with Loving Memories and Dreams
Our 2003 Toyota Camry has a lot of memories connected to it. My Mother-in-
love Kay purchased it new in 2003 after asking our daughter Nina what she
thought Grandma should buy. Nina told Grandma, “you need to buy a car that the
roof opens up so we can see the shining stars at night and feel the Sun during the
day. You should also have the thing that will allow me to listen to my CD when
we drive around”. At this time our daughter was around four years of age. Kay
went and purchased a car that had what Nina wanted in a car. She told Nina after
the car was delivered that it would some day be her car to drive when she was old
enough. Sadly in January 2007 my Mother-in-Love lost her battle to cancer. She
never saw her Granddaughter enjoying the car as much as she did. In her will my
Mother-in-law requested the car be in our names to be able to make sure Nina got
funding for all her medical care and education programs.
Nina and I used the car a lot over the years to go to school, doctor appointments,
surgery procedures, and adventures to many places. Nina was born with a real
medical condition called VACTERL Syndrome, VACTERL association – About the Disease
– Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (nih.gov) On average Nina had at least three
doctor appointments per month, ten surgeries or more per year, and so many
procedures I’ve forgotten, Unfortunately in September 06, 2018 we lost Nina at
the age of 19.5 years young to Sarcoma Cancer.
As you might feel the 2003 Toyota Camry holds allot of memories for my
husband Joe as it was his Mother & our daughter’s car. My husband can’t bring
himself to get rid of the car because of the memories. At the same time we don’t
whom to get to restore the car so it can be used in the memory of two amazing.
My DREAM is to get this wonderful 2003 Toyota Camry restored for my wonderful husband,
good morning.
I have a 1981 Celica. It is my 2nd Celica. I’ve owned it for 2 1/2 years and it could benifit from some tlc. My 1st Celica needed too much work and I sold it 2 years ago.
This one has had repairs to it over time that have not held up very well. Before I got it it was used as a show car, which means it looked good, but ran like crap. It runs better now.
I know it can look better, too.
My other car is a green 1991 mr2. When my grandmother passed away my cousin bought it with her inheritance money. She was a teacher with 2 big dogs and a van.. She used the van to go to school so the kids would not mess up the mr2, and 2 big dogs do not fit in that baby car. So she should the car to me. so several accidents layer, a bad lift in a garage, and rust it’s looking a lot worse from wear. But it’s a Toyota mr2. It needs a lot of tic.
Oh, did I mention….. both cars are used as background cars on tv and movies. The Americans, Gotham, Blacklist, Red Oaks, Power Book III,,,,
If you chose me you’ll be able to spot your work for years to come.
Could I please get more info on how to apply to be on “My Dream Car”? I have a car that my dad left to me before he died and I would like to have it restored to give to my 16 year old son who never got to meet his Grandpa.
