Since its premiere in 2008, Chasing Classic Cars has grown to become every Classic car enthusiast's favorite show, and that’s because it focuses on the discovery and restoration of legendary classic cars. Unlike most car-themed reality shows, usually laden with drama and scripted scenes, Chasing Classic Cars allowed car lovers to experience golden-age cars they never had the chance to experience.
At the heart of the show, we have Wayne Carini as the host, who went hunting for cars worthy of appearing on the show. Wayne hosted the show with Roger Barr, a car expert, and Jim Austrasky, who served as writer and producer. Despite the show’s success and popularity, there have been controversial issues behind the scenes that the stars are not allowed to discuss. It's been two years since the last episode of the show aired. Join us as we roll back the curtains on the real reason why Chasing Classic Cars went on a hiatus.

Roger was the star of the show. Great sense of humour! 👍
-
Loved Roger. Willing to bet he's the same great guy in person. Hope he's doing better.
-
Without Roger I doubt I will be viewing new episodes.
-
Roger was the real deal. Racing and a mechanic during the best years of motorsports. I always looked forward to seeing him on the show. He should have received more credit and payment for his contribution. I hope he is doing well.

I missed Roger classy guy
-
As a Brit I can't suppress a snigger every time I hear "Wayne-ker ini" 😁
-
Anyone else of the opinion that the narrator has never seen an episode?
-
I met Wayne a few times at car events. I have no “high end” car. He was always polite and personable and always took the time to talk. Loved the show
-
Hate to hear Wayne didn’t take care of Roger, if that is indeed the case. Wayne always seemed like a genuinely nice guy, but Roger made the show.
-
did they just say Duzzenbergs rather than DUESENBERG???
-
A collector car sitting in Ma Frikart's garage covered in quits is just that. It takes ability and skill to repair, clean up, and market what would remain a piece of deteriorating iron, etc. If it's that easy we would all do it. Good for him.
-
A lot of speculation going on here in the comments. Who cares how you feel about him, or what you think his contributions were, or weren't, this was a good show that dealt with a lot of cool cars, that's why it was still on after the name of the network changed three times..

Very pleased it’s off air now! Roger deserved better treatment!
-
I really enjoyed Roger, I thought he added a lot to the show
-
Many folks want to see a ROGER'S GARAGE show 😊 👇This many folks 👍
-
Wayne took credit for a lot of very skilled people’s hard work.
-
This is a pure show. It’s simply amazing to me that there are cars like this out there. I need a team to find me just one unicorn car.
-
Loved this show, avid viewer and the guys in the show and the cars were amazing. Very disappointed to be told here that Roger was seemingly not getting his due recognition for what he contributed. Hopefully he will be doing OK and we may even get to see him in future episodes!
-
Long ago, i worked with a guy like Roger. Had a glass eye and could fix anything with no manuals; everything was in his head.
-
"Dozen-berg" ....are you freakin's kiddin' us? Good grief!
