Fall Carlisle to Host Filming for a New TV series Contracted to Discovery’s Velocity Channel

CARLISLE, Pa. - Sept. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Fall Carlisle is an automotive happening that's been taking place since 1974 and while the show has been showcased nationally and internationally via television programs, 2011 was the last year that the flagship show for Carlisle Events appeared on television.   That stat resets itself in 2014 as this year's fall offering, October 1-5 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, will be featured on a brand new TV Series called The Appraisers, currently in production for Discovery’s Velocity Channel, to air in 2015.

Filming for the 13-part series will span the full five days of Fall Carlisle with several of the stories being shot on location at Carlisle.

Further, the show is hosted by a trio of automotive experts from varying walks of life.  Hosts include Tom Cox, a self-described classic car guy who has been buying and selling cars since before he could drive; Chris Ritter, dubbed a car geek and more specifically the man who runs one of the largest automotive libraries in the world (AACA Museum in Hershey); and Ben Nef, a Vegas guy who deals in fast, expensive, high roller cars.  Collectively and with the support of executive producers Chip Taylor and Simone McNaught, the program will scour all things automotive at Fall Carlisle, with a specific focus on tales of barn finds, long-lost items salvaged from under tarps or hidden in garages; stories of vehicles bought at auction for a song, car memorabilia found in attics and of bikes and trucks owned by ancestors long gone.

“Carlisle Events has such a great reputation with car enthusiasts that it only makes sense to kick off filming at Fall Carlisle,” says Chip Taylor, Executive Producer of The Appraisers.  “Our cast and crew are really excited to see what unfolds, with so many different kinds of cars, trucks, bikes and auto memorabilia for sale we know that our Appraisers will have endless stories to film.”

“The Appraisers is a new type of car show that aims to appeal to both the avid car enthusiast and also to the viewer who simply loves a great story,” says Simone McNaught, Producer/Director.  “We came up with the idea for the series after traveling to some car shows and listening to the conversations that enthusiasts had, the same questions were asked: where did they get it? How much did they pay for it? How much work was done to it? Was it original? What do you think it’s worth?  It reminded me of why Antiques Roadshow has been so popular for years – so we thought, why not make a show for auto enthusiasts? We pitched the series to Discovery’s Velocity Channel and they loved it.  We can’t wait for it to go to air starting in 2015.”

As show content goes, The Appraisers is looking for people to appear on camera to have their car, truck, bike or auto memorabilia valued.  To be featured on the program and to have the aforementioned items appraised or to simply know more about the history of the vehicle or memorabilia owned, the producers encourage hopefuls to e-mail the show ASAP at theappraisers@chiptaylor.com.  If there is further interest, someone from the show will respond.
