The highly anticipated fourth season of Rust Valley Restorers premieres next week.
The series returns Feb. 24 on the History Channel and StackTV as Tappen resident and host Mike Hall along with his crew of local mechanics restore old cars.
In this new season, Hall is emptying his “Field of Dreams,” where he's stored roughly 500 cars he’s spent the last 40 years collecting.
The show began when Hall originally tried to sell his five-acre property and the cars years ago. In 2021, he finally found a buyer for the land and most of his cars were auctioned off.

“It was bittersweet. It was the biggest financial gamble I’ve ever done in my life. I took a pretty good licking on some of the cars and some of the cars I made out better than I expected but I was supposed to keep 10 cars and I ended up keeping 60,” he said in a previous interview with iNFOnews.
Attracting a massive fan base for its unique approach to restoration, Rust Valley Restorers is a Top 10 program amongst men ages 25 to 54, according to Corus Studios, which owns the History Channel.
Hall still owns roughly three acres of property and his shop where he will continue working on the old cars.
