The fourth season of Car Masters: Rust to Riches ended on a high and suspenseful note. We came across quite a few fine Gotham Garage builds like the Porsche-powered Elite Laser 917 build, the gothic 1980s Chevy Blazer, and the Speedway Motors Lincoln Zephyr rat rod parts delivery van build.
Updated September 2023: With recent updates on when the new season of Rust to Riches is coming out, we've updated this article with release dates, and everything else we know about the Gotham Garage show.
The Gotham Garage crew also had some over-the-top builds last season. Like the one-off carbon-fiber infused Chevy C3 Corvette for Jason Oppenheim, or the fused rat-rod build using a T-Bucket and a Ranchero. The drama was high, which is the main intriguing point of the show's longevity. With all the unfinished builds and a few new faces that we saw at the end of this season, we give you a brief on what to expect from the new season of Rust to Riches, and when it will come out.
Is There Going To Be A Season 5 Of Car Masters: Rust to Riches?
You heard it straight from the horse's mouth. Mark Towle from Gotham Garage has confirmed that there is a season 5 of Car Masters: Rust to Riches. Even better, Towle has great news for Rust to Riches fans. The new season of Car Masters is set to come out some time in December 2023, meaning we'll get to see the new season months before we originally thought we would.
As for what we'll see on the new season of Rust to Riches, the 1980s Chevy K5 Blazer build was solely done by Mark and the team to get hands on a 1957 Kenworth big rig. This truck is very close to Mark Towle's heart as his dad used it back in the day. Mark mentions that he has had a rough relationship graph with his father, but now they are currently in a better phase.
So, he wants to build a custom loud Gotham Garage-styled big rig using the Kenworth. The idea is to give it a wild paint job, get all the chrome up to mark, and make a head-turning show truck out of it. Mark has also promised on the truck to not be a tribute vehicle, and that he would sell it so that the whole team can reap on a chunky payday.
Has Constance Left Gotham Garage?
Fans of the show can breathe easy, Constance Nunes has not left Gotham Garage. If anything, Nunes will be creating more content now that she has her own restoration business called Cars by Constance. She will be running her own brand independently of Rust to Riches, but will most certainly benefit from the popularity of the show.
Gotham Garage was able to sell their concept car and motorcycle duo for a six-figure sum because of Nick Smith. He owns a consulting firm that takes care of connecting buyers and sellers of eccentric vehicles. He also connects with like-minded people via his website - classicavenue.com. Impressed by the level of creativity in the concept duo, Mr. Smith decided to join forces with Mark and the crew to take their business to new heights.
He will be indulging Gotham Garage in more six-figure builds, thanks to his vast connect of high-end clientele base. So, we can expect to see a lot more builds like that of Jason Oppenheim's and the Six-Figure 1940 Woody Station Wagon that we came across in Season three of Car Masters.
Does Tony Still Work At Gotham Garage?
One of the most experienced fabricators on the show, Tony Quinones definitely still does work for Gotham Garage occasionally but may not be a regular fixture because he has his own shop to run. Called TQ Customs, the outfit has some truly outrageous builds to its name.
Along with a premium client base, Nick also introduced two experienced fabricators to the Gotham family. Brian and James have been working with Nick on many high-end cars, and so they know a thing or two about what the top-notch customer base expects from a fine custom build.
Many of the builds on Gotham Garage, let's face it, are very poorly done. The metal work is not refined and even in episodes, we can see rough edges during close-up shots. We all know that the show is primarily an entertainment haven, and then a bundle for any automobile enthusiast.
But we believe that with the introduction of these two fabricators, the quality and ideology of custom work will take a toss for the better. Who knows, Gotham Garage might even come close to the quality as seen in the Gas Monkey Garage show - Fast N' Loud.
Is Car Masters: Rust To Riches Scripted?
Entertainment has always been a constant in Car Masters: Rust to Riches. The cast has always been perfect, vibrant, and most importantly, not boring. Tony is the geek, Constance makes engines take in style, Mark is the strategic planner, Shawn is the one that brings home the deals and money, and Caveman is the life and soul of this show.
The balance was always right when it came to drama. But now we will have to see how the team works on their chemistry with the two new entrances to this wacky family. But no matter how messy things get, Season Five of Car Masters: Rust to Riches is sure to have more entertainment and spicier visual drama. There's a reason this show has four seasons already on Netflix.
