Additional producers include Cisco Henson, Ian Mallahan, Davina Dobrovech, Robert Hartmann, Matt McNeil, and Steve Reich, with Mallahan as the showrunner.
Regarding the series, Dunham stated, “Putting together this first season was quite a ride, meeting and learning about so many of the great people who made these iconic vehicles happen, and then discovering amazing facts and nuggets of information about the cars that few people know. Without a doubt, this is a show about automobiles like no other, AND, it will be great fun for just about everyone!”
