Production history
Counting Cars originated as a spin-off from the History Channel series Pawn Stars, where Danny "The Count" Koker appeared as a recurring expert on vintage automobiles and motorcycles.[10] The show premiered on August 13, 2012, with Leftfield Pictures serving as the production company for the History Channel.[11] Key executive producers included Brent Montgomery, David George, and Shawn Witt from Leftfield Pictures, alongside History Channel executives such as Zachary Behr.[12] Danny Koker also took on the role of executive producer starting in 2014, in addition to starring as the lead.[13] The series follows a consistent 30-minute episode format centered on Koker's team at Count's Kustoms in Las Vegas, as they hunt for classic vehicles, perform restorations and customizations, and aim to sell them for profit.[1] Recurring crew members, including painter Ryan Evans and fabricator Mike "Horny Mike" Henry, contribute to the hands-on aspects of the builds, highlighting the shop's real-life operations.[12] Over its run, the production emphasized the high-stakes nature of quick-turnaround projects to keep the business viable.[1] Production experienced notable gaps, including a hiatus following the Season 8 finale in July 2019 until the Season 9 premiere on June 3, 2020.[6] The COVID-19 pandemic further impacted operations, with Season 9 airing amid restrictions and Season 10, the final season to date, premiering in September 2021.
