Default Canadian Pickers

The owner is an auction sale buyer/hoarder in eastern Alberta. He has a grain farm (bins, stubble, Quonsetts and plenty of time on his hands). The carrier had the distinctive double sloped rear hull and U-shaped rear plate of a Sherman. The driver and passenger had hatches across the front like a M3 Stuart. No turret or ring or engine cover. An abomination above the track line, standard Carrier underneath. He claimed it was a 1942 that he bought from a vet after seeing a newspaper ad. It is a runner, but he kept calling it a tank .

The show is a reality theme about two guys (Scot and Sheldon) who go around the country BS'ing and sweet talking other collectors out of their attractive junk. Buy low after bargaining down, sell high to other antique and junk dealers for a profit.
