One incident involved Derek’s dad painting the car in a dirt floor garage while Derek did circles on a plastic trike in the same building. It was the first car that Derek recalled from his childhood and he remembers many personal experiences as a kid when it comes to the ‘56 Buick. Derek’s late father owned the Buick before him and the car became an important part of the Bieri family legacy over the years.

It took Derek ten long years before he was finally able to track down this family legacy Buick in Texas.ĭerek owned the car prior to selling it to its former owner due to a series of circumstances in Derek’s life. Derek does not travel with a safety net crew like a few other car guy adventure shows.ĭerek changed up his game a little when he purchased a 1956 Buick Special two-door hardtop, an aptly named car because of its special links to his family.
He would rather get them fired up and drive the old rides home, despite the ravages that time has inflicted on them.ĭerek’s popularity as a Youtube star has soared since his show’s debut a few years ago, a fact he largely attributes to his belief that “85% of my viewers have something like that (i.e., an old vehicle with huge issues) and are too nervous or gun-shy to start the process… but enjoy watching somebody else do it”.ĭerek’s fearless approach to a particular old vehicle’s challenges is something he compares to “jumping out of a plane at 20,000 feet with no parachute”, and it’s a popular theme in each of his Youtube episodes. The main strength of ‘Vice Grip Garage’ is Derek’s willingness to tackle a challenge without a script, or hauler trailer for that matter, when he rescues a forlorn old vehicle. To say the years have not been kind to these old relics from the past would be a massive understatement, but Derek wants to give them a brighter future after a long history of neglect. Most have been driven or dragged to a permanent resting place and forgotten-accidentally or on purpose-take your pick. The show is based upon host Derek Bieri’s misadventures in the car hobby as he tracks down a wide variety of vintage vehicles that have been off the road for many years, or even decades in some cases. One of the best car guy shows is not on regular TV- it’s on YouTube and it’s called ‘Vice Grip Garage’.
