Iconic Series OVERHAULIN' and World-Renowned Car Designer Chip Foose Return Exclusively to MotorTrend

MotorTend Group announced today the revival of the fan-favorite, iconic series OVERHAULIN'. Beginning later this summer, exclusively on the MotorTrend App, the original cast of world-renowned car designer Chip Foose, cohost Chris Jacobs and cohost Adrienne Janic will reunite with the extremely talented OVERHAULIN' A-Team to tell all-new emotional stories of man and machine.

Since leaving the airwaves in 2015 fans have flooded social media with calls for OVERHAULIN' to return and have submitted thousands of proposals to have their loved ones' vehicles overhauled by Foose and the A-Team. Now, MotorTrend is responding by not only reviving the series but by crowdsourcing worthy vehicles and stories for the all-new episodes. Fans from all over the world can submit their loved one to be on a new episode of OVERHAULIN' by visiting MotorTrend.com/overhaulin starting today.

"OVERHAULIN' remains an indelible franchise because it understands and celebrates the emotional connection between cars and their owners," said Mike Suggett, head of programming and development for MotorTrend Group. "Since debuting in 2004 fans have bonded with the series' life-affirming premise, and we've found that fan appetite has not waned in the four years it was off television. MotorTrend is proud to get under the hood with Foose, Jacobs, Janic and the A-Team to bring new emotional stories, new hilarious pranks and new surprising restorations to automotive fans everywhere."

"I am super excited to work with Chris, AJ and MotorTrend to bring OVERHAULIN' back to so many fans," said Foose. "Designing and fabricating vehicles that change people's lives and ignites their passion is amazing, and so is seeing their faces when we unveil the finished car. For as much work we do on the cars, for me it's really about the people, their stories and their dreams."

Since 2004 OVERHAULIN' has changed the lives of more than 100 car owners by transforming their beloved but rundown vehicles. Through the years countless family members and friends have surprised their deserving loved ones with completely reborn rides, courtesy of the amazing imagination of renowned car designer Chip Foose, the cunning of co-host Chris Jacobs and the hard work of the A-Team that have defined the OVERHAULIN' franchise.

New episodes of OVERHAULIN' will premiere this summer exclusively on the MotorTrend App. The MotorTrend App is available across iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices, as well as media players and streaming devices such as Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Amazon FireTV, in addition to Xbox One and Xbox 360 platforms, and on the web.

OVERHAULIN' will be produced for MotorTrend Group by Brentwood Communications International Inc. (BCII). For BCII, Bud Brutsman is executive producer. For MotorTrend, Joshua C. Berkley is executive producer and Mike Suggett is head of programming and development. Alex Wellen is global president and general manager of MotorTrend Group.
